Tom Brady's recent post on Twitter set tongues wagging.

Brady shared a thirst trap photo on social media after his apparel brand Brady tagged him for a post he made in June 2022 about recreating photos of men modeling the brand's boxer briefs and briefs.

"40k likes and I'll recreate these photos. Unrelated, but can you guys send me some more of the socks @bradybrand," Brady's original tweet read. It has already received nearly 50K likes.

"Hey @TomBrady we haven't forgotten about this," the apparel brand wrote.

The former NFL superstar responded by sharing a mirror selfie of him sitting on the bed wearing his underwear.

"Did I do it right? @Edelman11 @RobGronkowski @bradybrand," he wrote in the caption.

After a few hours, Brady shared a link to the boxer brief he was wearing in the photo to promote it. "You knew the plug was coming," he added in a separate tweet.

Meanwhile, several netizens responded to Brady's mirror selfie. Some approved of it, a few didn't, while others joked that he would join OnlyFans after announcing his retirement.

"Ya Tom, you did it right," Karin Hart commented.

"You might be the goat QB, but I think you should have picked Gisel and the kids bro. No one wants to see a 45 yr old dad in his undies trying to thirst trap," another wrote.

"@TomBrady if this is what retirement gonna make us have to endure from you then I expect to see you at training camp," another commenter said.

"Tom been retired one week and already starting an OF," another wrote, speculating that the seven-time Super Bowl champion would join Only Fans.

On Feb. 1, Brady announced his second retirement, exactly a year after he made his first announcement. However, he clarified that he was quitting football for good.

Last year, Brady said he would retire but walked back on his decision six weeks later. His decision to unretire allegedly sparked marital strife between him and Bundchen. There were rumors that they had an epic fight and had been living separately since then.

The former celebrity couple had never addressed the rumors about their marriage. However, on Oct. 28, they announced they had finalized their divorce.

Despite their separation, the exes have remained cordial. The Brazilian supermodel even left a supportive message on Brady's recent retirement announcement.

"Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life," the model commented, alongside a prayer emoji.
