Some people think the Stormy Daniels harasser sketch looks a lot like Tom Brady
The Patriots quarterback is currently out of the country. Coincidence?
It’s not the first time Tom Brady has been involved in a sketch-related controversy.
In an appearance Tuesday morning on ABC’s The View, porn actress Stormy Daniels and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, released a composite sketch of the man she said threatened her to keep silent about the brief affair she said she had with President Donald Trump in 2006. Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, says the intimidation attempt occurred in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011.

Based on her memory of the incident, Daniels worked with a forensic artist to put together the sketch of the man, who she said approached her and told her “Leave Trump alone.” Avenatti said they were offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the identification of the harasser.
The reaction on social media almost immediately noticed a closeness to a certain New England Patriots quarterback.
Uh is it just me or does he kind of look like Tom Brady? 🤔 https://t.co/cIgpAbGcql

When both Jemele Hill and Ben Shapiro are on the same side of an issue, the resemblance is hard to deny — especially when the sketch is put next to Brady’s mug. A man of many haircuts, he even wore his hair in a similar fashion in 2011.

Of course, the irreverent observation quickly entered the meme phase of its social media life.

Daniels’ recollection of her harasser described the man as “lean but fit” and in his 30s to early 40s. The fitness-obsessed Patriots quarterback was 33 years old in 2011. However, the Brady comparisons fall through when it comes to the unknown man’s height, which she said was 5-foot-9 to 6 feet. Brady is listed at 6-foot-4.
Other celebrity lookalike suggestions Tuesday ranged from Willem DeFoe to Anthony Scaramucci. But still, only one of them is curiously out of the country in a place with no extradition agreement with the United States. Hmmm…
