Kevin Hart sympathizes with Tom Brady's regrets about the highly successful “Roast of Tom Brady” Netflix special released in May.
“I can side with time and see where he’s coming from and just him wanting to protect the idea of family and the conversation attached to that. That’s probably where that’s coming from,” the comedian, 45, recently said during an interview with Bleacher Report.
“And you know, I’m not privy to whatever he dealt with after, so I know his response and saying something about it was a result of possibly that.”
Following the May 5 roast, Brady, 46, revealed on “The Pivot” podcast that he "didn’t like" how the jokes about his exes, Gisele Bündchen and Bridget Moynahan, impacted his children.
“It’s the hardest part about the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all of a sudden you realize, ‘I wouldn’t do that again,’ because of the way that affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world,” he explained.
The retired NFL star has a 16-year-old son, John “Jack” Edward Thomas, with Moynahan, and shares son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11, with his ex-wife, Bündchen.
However, Brady mentioned that he “loved” the jokes that were only about him.
Hart suggested to Bleacher Report that the seven-time Super Bowl champion didn’t regret the roast itself but wished it had been handled differently.
“When he says he regretted doing it … I think he’s saying, ‘I could have tapered it a little differently, or [had] a conversation pre-[roast], of like, ‘Guys, let’s go and do this, but let’s not touch this or this,'” he said.
