Is Tom Brady really the ageless wonder he appears to be? Or did the handsome quarterback-turned TV star just get a hair transplant?
Not everyone gets the benefit of aging as gracefully as a 63-year-old Boomer Esiason has. And there is some years-old photographic evidence to suggest Brady wasn’t destined to age as gracefully as Esiason. Brady might point to the fact that he doesn’t eat tomatoes or strawberries for his physical transformation, but Esiason is pointing to a possible hair transplant.
Friday morning on WFAN, the topic of Turkey becoming the hair transplant capital of the world was broached, prompting Boomer Esiason to note that he’s known about this growing trend for a long time.
“I’ve been telling you about this since Tom Brady came back with a full head of hair,” Esiason told Gregg Giannotti and Jerry Recco. “Which seems like five years ago.”
Esiason has no shortage of insider information. He said the Jets trade for Aaron Rodgers was done weeks before anyone else. He correctly predicted they would add Davante Adams during the season and also teased Netflix’s slate of Christmas Day NFL games months before it was announced. But Brady’s hair?
Low cost is part of the reason the trend of traveling to Turkey for a hair transplant is on the rise, which shouldn’t be an issue for Brady. Maybe getting it done in Turkey is more discreet, something Joe Buck is no longer concerned with as it pertains to hair transplants. Buck famously admitted his 2011 vocal cord injury was caused during a hair transplant procedure and has remained open about his need to refrain from going bald. Brady might be too vain to do the same.
From his NFL combine performance to now, Tom Brady’s physique and hair has evolved about as much as the league’s passing game. But whether it’s the tomatoes, a visit with Joe Buck’s doctor or a trip to Turkey, we can all agree, Brady looks pretty great at 47 years old.
