We saw Michael Strahan, turn from one of the most feared defensive ends to a host for morning TV and game-shows. And now, he’s eyeing his next big move to Hollywood. But, it ain’t the first time a transition like this has happened. Take Terry Crews, for example. Before becoming a comedy powerhouse in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and action flicks, he was a linebacker in the NFL. Even Peyton Manning found his niche in entertainment. So Strahan’s latest career leap might just be the next big chapter in his journey.
At first, it seemed like just another smart business move, but Strahan is into a new venture. Sure, not a big deal for a guy who’s magically jumped from the football field to morning TV, game shows, and business. But behind the scenes, something much bigger is cooking. Hollywood is calling, and Strahan is now geared up to answer in a big way. He’s got the charm, the work ethic, and the guy looks like he belongs on the big screen. Whether it’s hosting, acting, or producing, Strahan has options. And let’s not forget his business partnership with Brady. Their media company, Religion of Sports, has been crushing it, securing a $10 million investment to expand its reach.

Then came Tom Brady himself giving Strahan the nod. Brady is the one who knows how to take your career to the next level. The duo goes way beyond football rivalry and TV. These two have built a serious business empire. Their Religion of Sports venture is up on the game. And now, Brady is throwing his support behind Strahan’s Hollywood ambitions, by liking the Instagram post where Strahan mentioned his James Bond dreams, as a stamp of his approval.
So, rest assured the whole Strahan in Hollywood thing ain’t hoax at all. During a GMA interview with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, Strahan straight-up pitched himself as the next James Bond. Fans had mixed feelings, but Strahan has the charisma to pull it off. If not Bond, something else is definitely in the works. Even last year, the 52-year-old hinted that his time might be over on television. “I won’t go cold turkey on everything, but I see myself slowly dropping different things until eventually, you’ll just find me on the golf course,” Strahan said. Plus, let’s not forget, Tom Brady hyping him up. If Brady thinks Strahan can take over Hollywood, who’s gonna argue?
People are guessing what could be Strahan’s Hollywood move? Could he host award shows? Make a surprise movie cameo? Maybe even star in a blockbuster? And with Brady backing him, the excitement is only growing. Brady’s support isn’t just for show, he clearly sees something big happening here. Whether Strahan ends up front and center in a major Hollywood project or takes over the hosting world, one thing is for sure: his next chapter is going to be epic.

And trust me, it’s big. Strahan has been a big part of GMA for years. At first he was a part-time contributor in 2014 while still hosting Live! Later in 2016, he left Live! and became a full-time co-anchor on GMA. He’s been the star of the show, but with everything else he’s got going on, NFL coverage, The $100,000 Pyramid, it makes sense that he might be looking to switch things up a bit.
Michael Strahan is riding off into the sunset, charging full speed ahead into his next big adventure. With Tom Brady in his corner, his Hollywood takeover seems more like a “when” than an “if.” Whether he’s lighting up the big screen, hosting award shows, or dropping the latest suit collection around, Strahan’s next move is always guaranteed to be worth watching.
