Gisele: Tom Brady’s Long Hair Is ‘All Good’

Gisele talks about Tom Brady's hair

Tom Brady has sported his fair share of hairstyles in recent months — remember that ponytail? — but no matter what his locks look like, wife Gisele Bündchen says she approves. The supermodel told reporters Monday evening at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York that her hubby, who had a long, slicked-back look at the event, can wear his hair however he may please. “That’s his choice,” Bündchen said. “He does what he wants. I love him no matter what — short, bald, fat. It’s all good. It’s all good.” She’s certainly loved a lot of his looks this year, including a shaggy, Justin Bieber-esque cut that eventually grew into the infamous ponytail he wore at Carnival in Brazil. And though the football star can do no wrong in his wife’s eyes, at least when it comes to his hair, we wonder, does she have a say in how how he rocks his locks? Tell us: What length do you think is best for Brady’s hair? –Kim Peiffer

I am almost certain that Gisele would not approve of Tom if he were to become “short, bald, and fat.” Get real Gisele!

beth on May 3rd, 2011

Well Natalie maybe she isnt as shallow as you assume her to be..or are you guys BFFs and she has confided in you??

Liz on May 3rd, 2011

I’m thinking she doesn’t have a say with his hair ’cause surely no woman can dig that look.

Amelia on May 3rd, 2011

Chin length

Susan Lewis on May 3rd, 2011

Liz- some of us do. Tom Brady would be hot if he shaved his head and tattooed it.

amanda on May 3rd, 2011

These two look more and more alike every time I see them. Not to say that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

honeywest on May 3rd, 2011

what a striking couple. if they don’t produce barbie doll babies who will?

Rachel on May 3rd, 2011

It looks HORRIBLE… probably thinks it will keep the ladies away..

Kara on May 3rd, 2011

I think she makes him keep it long because he looks horrible that way and it will keep women away from him. I believe she runs that relationship (and is destroying his career since he can’t win when it really matters since she came along)

Beth on May 3rd, 2011

It doesn’t look good at all!! He looks much better with short hair!

Sherry on May 3rd, 2011

Good looking couple. Really I think Gisele’s point is this: STFU about the hair thing already! His hair style doesn’t make Tom who he is and she loves him.
I personally like his hair shorter but know what? I think he’s still attractive either way. Not too fond of the ponytail though…

Beth on May 3rd, 2011

And she is full of herself if she doesn’t care what he looks likes. I don’t beleive that comment for a second.

Beth on May 3rd, 2011

Clean it up Tom. You represent THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS and you look sloppy! Your handsome, but sloppy! It’s a matter of pride for Boston!

Tania on May 3rd, 2011

@Rachel – ahahhahaha ur comment is hilarious :) made me laugh, but nonetheless its probably true :)

Allie on May 3rd, 2011

God, that man has a jawline!

linda savage on May 3rd, 2011

What is best for Brady’s hair? On my pillow!

Dawn on May 3rd, 2011

I think anyone with a beautiful face almost always looks better with “simple” hair. Too much going on takes away from the face, some of us need that distraction, but not Tom Brady!

M on May 3rd, 2011

She probably didn’t like that he was BY FAR the more attractive one in the relationship and tried to make him look worse. Even though he does look horrible it didn’t take away from her man face.

Lisa on May 3rd, 2011

I don’t know either one of them, however, I do think Tom looks better with short hair. I think they are an attractive couple. His first girlfriend, with whom he has son, by is stunning!

Jen DC on May 3rd, 2011

Please please please please please Tom Brady, cut your hair. The Justin Bieber look – was it an attempt to roll back the clock? Brother, you are a GROWN-*SS MAN! Justin Bieber is a child; why would you want to emulate someone who’s voice hasn’t even broken yet?!?

You are a handsome man whose face really demands a clean cut, unless you’re going for the dirty truckstop pervert look. In which case… Good job!

Nikki on May 3rd, 2011

He would be hot no matter what.

Pupstermum on May 3rd, 2011

Oh, please… all of you who contend she’d have no “issue” if TOM BRADY was to become short, bald and fat. Oh PLEASE!! Her entire existence is spent in the design and fashion industry, where size ZERO is FAT. And she wouldn’t be just a teeny bit put off if the guy packed on a few dozen or more pounds?? Please….. I’ve lived in Brasil. Looks are EVERYTHING.

Lindsey on May 3rd, 2011

Who cares what she thinks. He hasnt won a game since he has been with her. If she cracks the whip anymore he’ll be a stay at home dad. TOM we need another SuperBowl get it together and grow a pair. THanks

Melissa on May 3rd, 2011

Kara – Did you forget that he is the league MVP for 2010-2011??? His career is hotter than ever!! As for Tom…short, long, bald, whatever….He is just plain HOT!!!

Melissa on May 3rd, 2011

Comment goes to you too Lindsey!

Mimi on May 3rd, 2011

I LOVE a man with long hair, so just let him grow it as long as he wants :)

carolyn on May 3rd, 2011

Hey, if you were sharing your life with Tom and his money,locks and looks; would you really care what he did with his hair. Anyway you want it Tom.

jackie on May 3rd, 2011

Really?? Who give’s a flying leap?

Sue on May 3rd, 2011

Sorry… but I’ve always preferred him with short hair.

Jane on May 3rd, 2011

She’s a foreigner so of course she’d like a man with longer hair which is more a European style cut. I think she might have problems accepting the fact that she married an “All American” athlete, and would like that image of him to change. I still don’t understand why he dumped his first girl friend for her. It has to be her money, because it certainly isn’t her looks. As she ages, she looks more and more like an old German Hausfrau.

Jeanette on May 3rd, 2011

He said in an interview during the football season that she was in charge. When asked when/if he was going to cut his hair he replied with “Ask my wife” or something to that effect.

Myself on May 3rd, 2011

Didn’t he at one point say that his wife wants him to have longer hair? I am pretty sure I read that back in the fall…so I am sure she is the reason he keeps it long. Personally, it sucks, cut it off!!

Angie on May 3rd, 2011

I have to agree 100% with Natalie when she said “I am almost certain that Gisele would not approve of Tom if he were to become “short, bald, and fat.” Get real Gisele!”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

yulana on May 3rd, 2011

Come on people, get real, what a stunning couple, both of them ARE hot!!!

armadillo on May 3rd, 2011

Why even mention short, bald, and fat. Are these things negative? Why would there even be any question about her love for him if he became short , bald, and fat. A better statement would be that she loves him regardless of surface appearances.

Becky on May 3rd, 2011

Who is looking at his hair? I can’t get past his broad shoulders.

jessica on May 3rd, 2011

He seems the epitome of a big, dumb jock and she won’t shut her uneducated mouth. I think they’re perfect for each other. Nice dress though.

jen on May 3rd, 2011

I’m nearly positive that he would never approve of her if she were short and fat…Isn’t that a shame…

Alicia on May 3rd, 2011

LOL You’re hilarious! I’d like to see your boyfriends/husbands and see how they look, with long or short hair! Hummm… He can totally afford to style his hair the way he wants, that’s for sure, without any of our approvals…

Jennie Clark on May 3rd, 2011

Tom Brady is hot in whatever hair style! He would look good bald I think! I like the slick look though! He is the most gorgeous athlete there ever was!

Alex on May 3rd, 2011

Tom is the best looking man EVER. Long hair or short hair. He’s amazing.

Jon on May 3rd, 2011

I don’t know, The Justin Bieber do is the best length!

Debbie on May 3rd, 2011

HE LOOK GTEAT!! LEAVE THEM ALONE. I BET YOU WOULD STILL HAVE HIM LONG HAIR AND ALL!!!!

BoFan on May 3rd, 2011

OMG, the comments are so catty and ridiculous! So what if she likes it and who cares long, short, bald. Gees. Life is too short, get over it. And what is up with people who blame the woman if an athletes’ game performance isn’t up to par. That’s really pathetic. People read these articles then go beserk, like it really affects their lives somehow.

I wish she would just shut up already. The media needs to stop and let them just go away.

Kara on May 3rd, 2011

@Melissa – I am fully aware of how Brady has done in the regular season. If you actually read my comment I said “when it really matters”. Do you not watch the playoffs??? Who the EFF cares about his personal regular season awards when they go no where in the playoffs!!?? He struggles in post season as of late…doesn’t sound like a hot career to me. Unless he is completely selfish.

LORNA on May 3rd, 2011

I read somewhere that Tom is actually “folically challenged” and is hiding a receding hairline. He’s also been seen exiting a hair-transplant salon! Ah, he’s just vain and doesn’t want to lose his supermodel wife. He needs to accept growing old gracefully, or consider wearing a football helmet when he goes out!! He’s so cute he looks like a girl with long hair, sort of like Celine Dion’s son used to look! Get a haircut, Tom!

omg on May 3rd, 2011

Bridget is laughing her a** off. Those two are a perfect match.

Stella on May 3rd, 2011

has anyone noticed that his hand is on her butt in every single photo they take together?

Princesswoo on May 3rd, 2011

She definitely runs their relationship and tells him exactly how to wear his hair. No true man would wear their hair that way. What a wus he is. Stand up Tom on yours own two feet. You were way more handsome with short hair.

ann on May 3rd, 2011

I get nervous when a couple starts to look like brother and sister. Luv him, can’t stand her!

Rain on May 3rd, 2011
