Tara Reid is reflecting on her short-lived romance with former NFL superstar Tom Brady.
The "American Pie" actress revealed she had a fling with Brady, 46, before getting engaged to television host and now-ex Carson Daly in 2000.
"We’d just see each other on and off," Reid, 48, told Bustle. "It was nothing serious, but it was fun. We’d go to beer places and have fun and dance. He was cool."

While Reid reminisced about dating Brady more than 20 years ago, she did not hold back on what she thinks of the famous ex-quarterback.
"He’s all skinny now. He’s so serious. He used to laugh. When I watch his interviews, he’s so cocky now," she pointed out.

"We used to go out, do whatever we wanted — then bam. It just changed so fast."
