Tom Brady Says His Kids Are Excited to Be Back in Boston for His Patriots Hall of Fame Induction (Exclusive)

The former Pats quarterback, who is also launching a funny new Hertz commercial tomorrow, says he’s been taking a walk down memory lane with his kids as he prepares for his Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony tonight.

Tom Brady is digging being back in Boston for his June 12 induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony tonight — and he says his kids are happy about it too.

“We’ve got the big event tonight, so I’m trying to get them fed and to see their friends,” he says of wrangling everything before the ceremony, which will stream on Patriots.com starting at 5:30 p.m. “There’s always something going on [with the kids]!” he adds with a laugh.

He says they’re all happy to be in the Northeast, especially this time of year. “Boston was home for us for 20 something years,” says Brady, who also just worked his comedic chops for a new commercial for Hertz’s “Let’s Go” campaign today.

“The kids were born literally three blocks from where we’re staying. They keep saying, ‘Dad we want to go back and see our old house!’ ” he says. “I’m like, we don’t own the house anymore! We can’t just go knock on their door!”

However, his trip to Beantown will be brief — later tonight, he says he and the fam are flying to Paris to watch the Hertz Team JOTA race at the La Mans. (The car number is also Brady’s famous 12!)

“The leadership team at Hertz, they’re great friends of mine and we’ve been doing a lot of these fun things together,” he says. (His latest ad for the company shows Brady as an analyst for the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards loyalty program, directing people how to skip the counter lines, choose their own cars and earn points towards future rentals.)
