Tom Brady, the iconic quarterback known for his prowess on the football field, recently made headlines for a reason other than his athletic achievements. A new NFL advertisement featuring Brady has set the internet abuzz, with many speculating about the athlete's seemingly altered appearance.

The advertisement, intended to promote the kickoff of the 2023 NFL season, is a mere 15 seconds long. However, it was enough to have fans and viewers doing a double-take. Many couldn't help but notice the dad-of-three's smoother facial features, leading to rampant speculation about potential cosmetic procedures. Comments ranged from observations about the athlete's "smoothed out" appearance to more direct accusations. "Dude needs to chill on the plastic surgery," one viewer remarked, while another quipped, dubbing him "Botox Brady." Another comment read, "The plastic surgery is creepy," with yet another user labeling his appearance as "Botox city."

While the internet is rife with speculation, Brady, 46, has chosen to remain silent on the matter. Instead, recent reports suggest he's been focusing on his personal life, particularly his budding romance with model Irina Shayk. The duo, who reportedly met at a wedding in June, seemed to be growing closer, with sightings of them together in London. However, eyebrows were raised when Shayk was spotted getting cozy with her ex, Bradley Cooper, during a vacation with their daughter. Insiders, however, were quick to clarify that Brady wasn't perturbed by these developments. One source stated, "Tom has no idea if Irina is still seeing Bradley, but it's really none of his business. Tom and Irina aren't in a committed relationship, so she's free to see anybody she likes."

Interestingly, while Brady has been single only since October - following the announcement of his split from supermodel Gisele Bündchen - insiders suggest that Shayk has long been interested in the NFL star. "He is her dream guy. She loves dating him," an insider revealed, adding that the sentiment is reciprocated by Brady. The source further elaborated, "Tom is really ecstatic that this is happening, he feels that they totally get each other, and he really finds her extremely interesting, entrepreneurial, and [she] has a clever sense of humor that really appeals to everything he is all about. She is not just a fling; he really wants to make this work."

While the world may be abuzz with Brady's rumored new look, it's evident that the quarterback has more pressing matters on his mind, from his new relationship to gearing up for another NFL season. Whether or not he's undergone cosmetic procedures remains his personal choice, and only time will tell if he chooses to address the rumors.
