She said: “Oh yeah, his presence just filled up the whole trailer and I got weak in the knees. He was so sweet.”
But Rita quipped: “Boy, do I have bad knees. It has nothing to do with Tom Brady.”
Being a huge football fan, Sally named herself the “welcoming committee” on set to make the NFL players who made cameo appearances feel welcome.
