Former New England Patriots players Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski appeared to recreate a memorable scene from Top Gun: Maverick that left fans parched.

The long-awaited sequel to 1986's Top Gun starring Tom Cruise–who reprised his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell–featured a "Dogfight Football" scene on the beach in which the pilots in training were shirtless.


The casually provocative scene with sweaty, beefy, young pilots playing in slow-motion was an homage to the beach volleyball scene in the original film nearly 30 years ago.

The clip of twice-retired pro-footballer Tom "the GOAT" Brady playing with the boys–including fellow retirees, "Gronk" Gronkowski and Julian Edelman, was filmed and posted by Gronkowski's girlfriend, Camille Kostek.

Adding cinematographer to my resume 📽Top Gun 3 sneak peek 🏈😂

In the movie, Maverick explained Dogfight Football was an opportunity for the pilots to sharpen their offense and defense skills.

But for moviegoers, the scene's takeaway was more about the gratuitous shot of Miles Teller and Glen Powell with their shirts off.

The NFL retiree's beachside rough and rumble took place during a vacation in the Bahamas.

Kostek was commended for capturing the muscly men in their element.

The TikTok video's accompanying song was the same one used in the Maverick called "I Ain't Worried" by OneRepublic.

This TikToker seemed to be a devoted fan of the earworm, but for a different reason.

It was the kind of spring break fever people were ready for.

Soon, there was a demand to have the hunky players come out of retirement–which would be nothing new for our favorite GOAT.

Kostek and her beau also shared other highlights from their vacation.


Brady also posted an Instagram photo dump featuring him in swimwear from his Brady brand apparel line.

For reference, here is the scene that inspired the former NFL players' version of Dogfight Football.

We can all agree that some social media trends are fun and harmless, but most of them are pretty ridiculous and either inconvenient or hurt people.

There have been a few escalator trends over the years, mostly one person confusing someone else by touching their arm, passing them a note, or even flirting with them.

Mormon Church Accidentally Spotlights Gay Mormon Fashion Designer—And People Can't Get Enough

A Mormon church tried to stay hip and garner new followers by promoting a fashion line, only to prove to all of us that we're really not as different as the prejudiced people among us would like us to believe.

Let's unpack this: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has an Instagram account over at @churchofjesuschrist. They regularly promote members of their community, demonstrating what they do, how they give back to their community, and how their religious testimony ties into their mission.

The recording, obtained by NPR, captures him speaking with slurred speech before ending with a threat that she and the women in her family should have their throats cut.

Lauren Boebert Dragged After Making Bonkers Claim About Moon Landing Before Correcting Herself

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was widely mocked after she told a MeidasTouch reporter that she believes the moon landing was done in an "Amazon warehouse" before quickly correcting her own mistake.

July 20 marked 57 years since the Apollo 11 mission astronauts landed on the Earth's moon. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.
