Adrien Brody has managed to hit the sweet spot as sports fan

Hollywood actor Adrien Brody discusses his balanced sports fandom and excitement for his upcoming TurboTax Super Bowl commercial.

"I'm, like, right in the middle. - Adrien Brody"

Los Angeles, Feb 9

Hollywood actor Adrien Brody is quite balanced when it comes to sports fandom. The actor has said that his sports fandom isn't extreme, but it also isn't laid-back.

The actor seems to have hit the sweet spot in terms of fandom, reports 'People' magazine.

He told 'People', "I'm, like, right in the middle. I grew up in Queens, where every kid was home watching football if there was a game, and would then come out and play afterward".

Still, Brody said that, "It's very hard for me to have routines. I always seem to have a lot going on, either creatively or other responsibilities, so I'll wait until the big, heavy games to get a little bit more keyed in".

He shared, "But I do love sports, and I love the energy of attending games".

As per 'People', during the 2026 Super Bowl, he will star in his second-ever in-game commercial, and his first in 15 years, playing a TurboTax agent. The ad pokes fun at Brody, known for his dramatic and serious acting roles, and how he doesn't need to bring the same energy to the TurboTax spot, because the company makes tax season a breeze.

He further mentioned, "I love the Super Bowl, and I love the playoffs. The rare times that I've actually been able to go to the Super Bowl, it's such a great American moment. To be a part of it, in this sense of having a Super Bowl spot, is a really exciting thing for me, and I get to, in a way, be a part of something that is very meaningful to us all. I love that".

Super Bowl LX will take place between the New England Patriots. There will be various musical performances from Green Day, Charlie Puth, Coco Jones and Brandi Carlile.

Super Bowl ads are a huge deal! Interesting to see an actor like Brody doing a comedic TurboTax ad. In India, we have our own version with the IPL and big brand commercials during matches. The energy he describes is universal for sports fans.

Respectfully, the article feels a bit fluffy. "Hitting the sweet spot" of fandom isn't really news. Maybe it's a slow news day? Would be more interested in his actual work or his thoughts on something more substantial.

As someone who lives in India but follows American football, I get what he means about waiting for the big games. Time zones make it hard to watch everything live! You pick your moments. Glad he's enjoying the Super Bowl experience.

The part about growing up in Queens and everyone watching the game together reminds me of my colony during an India-Pakistan cricket match. The whole street is silent during the game, and then erupts afterwards. Sports truly bring people together, yaar. 🏈 (Well, for us it's 🏏)
