Tom Brady Reflects on Parenting Regrets While Investing in the Future of Science
Tom Brady's appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast earlier this month revealed a more vulnerable side of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Opening up about the "regrets" he has from his 2024 Netflix comedy roast, Brady, 47, reflected on the impact the roast had on his children. He shared, "It was tough on my kids for sure," particularly regarding the jokes aimed at him and his exes.
His kids, John 'Jack' Edward Thomas, 17, with ex Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin Rein, 15, and Vivian Lake, 12, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, found the public humor "really hard," something that Brady admits was difficult for him to witness as a parent.
Despite these regrets, Brady has continued to move forward in his career, stepping into new ventures that align with his constantly forward-moving mindset. One such venture includes his involvement with Colossal Biosciences, a company at the cutting edge of science, particularly in the area of de-extinction of animals.
The company has gained significant attention for its efforts to bring extinct species, like the woolly mammoth and dire wolf, back to life, and Brady is among a group of high-profile investors that also includes other celebs like Paris Hilton, Tiger Woods, and Chris Hemsworth.
Co-founded by tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and geneticist Dr. George Church, Colossal recently made headlines with the birth of the first-ever dire wolf pups in over 10,000 years. The achievement has further elevated the company's mission, which extends beyond just resurrecting ancient species. They're committed to inspiring the next generation of innovators through educational initiatives, such as partnerships with Conservation Nation and animated series like De-extincting Tassie.
Perhaps Colossal's de-extinction work can inspire Brady's children along the way, as well.

Dawn Staley Reveals Helpful Advice For Eagles' Jalen Hurts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Jalen Hurts has a friend in South Carolina Women's Basketball coach, Dawn Staley. The Philadelphia-born coach, who has made her support of the Philadelphia Eagles well known, recently revealed that she frequently sends messages to Hurts, offering some inspiration. As a quarterback in one of the toughest NFL markets, Staley feels that Hurts could use the frequent inspiration, even though he was considered one of the "coolest cats." "I know sometimes when you play for a team that's in Philly, and you're the quarterback, and you're the star, it really is a lonely place," said Staley. "He's QB1, we lose, the city goes crazy. So, I know it's a lonely place. Sometimes I text him, 'Hey, don't get too high with the highs or low.' He doesn't... He doesn't now. He's the coolest cat that I know, but sometimes you need to hear that you're the only one who is going to feel the pressure of everybody else, because other people in other positions can just kind of go under the radar, so to speak. When it's the quarterback, and we know you've got the potential to take us to Super Bowls and win Super Bowls, you really feel the pressure."

Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles on the sideline during the second half against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on November 24, 2024 in Inglewood, run in Philadelphia hasn't always been easy. Although he quickly earned the support of the city after taking over as the starter during his rookie effort, beating out the struggling Carson Wentz, a sophomore slump created a negative narrative about Hurts as a franchise quarterback. Kylie Kelce and Dawn Staley talks about the pressure Jalen Hurts has being the quarterback in Philadelphia and how it can be really lonely for him. Dawn says she checks up on him, just to make sure he's good. She also says Jalen is the coolest calmest person ever. — ✍🏾 (@clearittfup) June 20, 2025 Even after Hurts put together an MVP campaign in year three and led the Eagles to the Super Bowl, the franchise quarterback remains one of the most polarizing players at the position. Staley was happy to see Hurts overcome the narratives in 2024, putting together a second Super Bowl run and coming out on top. The pressure was on Hurts to deliver more often than not, and he ended the season by earning Super Bowl MVP honors after the Eagles took down Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Staley's advice likely went a long way for Hurts throughout his Philadelphia journey. Since the quarterback still faces a ton of question marks with all he's accomplished, Staley will have to continue reaching out to the two-time Pro Bowler to keep him sharp in the City of Brotherly Love.

Jake Weary: Playing charismatic Cane on 'Waterfront' is a game changer

Photo courtesy of Netflix NEW YORK, June 21 (UPI) -- Animal Kingdom and Walking Dead: Dead City actor Jake Weary says he wanted to star in The Waterfront because the new Netflix drama gives him the chance to play a type of character he doesn't usually get offered. "It was a character that I've never really explored before, someone who is really outwardly charismatic and charming and trying to use his charms to get certain things and manipulate people," Weary, 35, told UPI in a phone interview Thursday. "I'd always played more introverted characters and characters that are harboring secrets and there's just a lot of darkness," he said. "There are elements there with Cane, but I think, for the most part, he's someone that actually smiles. I usually play characters that just scowl all the time, so I thought it was kind of a nice game changer for me." Now streaming on Netflix, the show was written-produced by Dawson's Creek and Scream creator Kevin Williamson. It follows the Buckleys, a wealthy North Carolina family as they try to save their fishing empire by smuggling drugs. Weary plays Cane Buckley, while Holt McCallany plays his father Harlan, Maria Bello plays his mother Belle and Melissa Benoist plays his older sister Bree. "I always thought Cane is kind of the glue that kept the family together," the actor said. "I feel like he's the one that creates the big Buckley family group chat, just to check in with everybody," he added. "When he notices that the family is in dire straits, he really jumps at the opportunity to take the bull by the horns and fix things." Weary and his co-stars quickly bonded when they arrived on the show's set in North Carolina. The actor described himself and Bello as "besties" and said they frequently text since she has been working out of the country and haven't been able to see each other for awhile. "And me and Holt have this really, really strong relationship, too, because I think there are a lot of parallels in our lives," he added. "We both had mothers who were big-time divas. His mother was a ballroom singer and my mom was a soap opera actress," Weary said, referring to McCallany's mother, entertainer Julie Wilson, and his own, Guiding Light icon Kim Zimmer. "We both grew up on the East Coast and have similar interests and can, literally, talk for hours. Having the two of them together [Bello and McCallany] together was just a dream come true." Further connecting the cast and crew was the fact that Hurricane Helene ravaged North Carolina while they were there. "There's a lot of people on the crew whose homes were affected by the hurricane," Weary recalled. "You could see how it brought the crew together. Everybody was super-supportive of each other," he said. "It was just really beautiful to see." One perfect Holt McCallany scene to welcome you to The Waterfront. The new series from Scream and Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson is now playing. Netflix (@netflix) June 19, 2025
