Jane Fonda ‘weak in the knees’ when she met Tom Brady

Fonda did a little touchdown dance after meeting Brady.

Jane Fonda recalled Saturday how she felt after meeting football legend Tom Brady for her new film “80 for Brady,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“My knees actually got weak when he walked into my trailer,” Fonda recalled. “I’m in awe of that kind of skill. When somebody is the best in the world at what they do, you have to honor that and respect it. I was just awestruck.”

While Brady — whose team will soon be playing in the NFL playoffs — was not in attendance for the film’s premiere, he allegedly came to Fonda’s dressing room to introduce himself when he was on set for the film.

“He was kind and humble, which is hard to believe considering how brilliant he is at what he does, but it’s true. He was also sweet and polite,” recalled the 85-year-old screen legend.

The film — which was inspired by a true story — follows four friends (played by Sally Field, Rita Moreno Lily Tomlin and Fonda) and their pilgrimage to 2017’s Super Bowl LI  in an effort to witness a Patriot’s victory.

“80 for Brady” also stars Billy Porter, Guy Fieri and even Patriots tight-end Ron Gronkowski.
