Looks like he took off @30 pounds - and (BOOM!) goes the he may come back theory .
(my speculation)

 

[Triumph]

Who would want to come back with acting parts like this?

 

[supafly]

Another pitiful acting performance, but it’s hardly his first. According to IMDb:

Entourage (‘15)
The Clapper (‘17)
Boss Level (‘19)

And we’re all familiar with his work in the Tide Pods commercials (‘18).

 

[Triumph]

My advice, 6 month apartment lease out there in movie land and start lifting and chowing at all you can eat Chinese buffets.

 

[PatsDeb]

LOL, don't quit your day job. Oh wait, he already did!

He doesn't really need to be good at this point.
He'll get some acting classes and become a poor man's Stallone.
He'll make high six figures every year, working four months out of twelve, and not putting his body at risk.
It'll last 5-10 years, then he can figure out what's next.
I don't blame him at all.

I think you underestimate the earning power. Look at The Rock. All he has to do is follow his game plan.

IMDB has him with 13 roles as an actor and over 50 appearances as himself mostly interviews but some TV series like Crashlete. I think at a minimum he has decent revenue stream as an actor but if he needs to get a lot better if he ever were to be considered for a lead. He's shown some improvement but now if he's retired he'll have to really take it seriously if wants to ever get lead roles. I think he's been ok in the roles I've seen but nothing yet indicates he's headed to the A list.

No one is going to take Gronk seriously as an actor unless he acts like Gronk

Plenty of good roles that could fall in his range if he can actually get better. And even if he doesn't improve there is still plenty of roles where they can work around his acting skills. He's not turning into Daniel Day Lewis but he's also got a lot of work if he wants to try to be the next Rock. But he doesn't have to be the Rock to get decent work too.

For his sake, and ours, I hope you are right. The Rock learned to be an actor; he's actually gotten reasonably good at it. If Gronk can get that good, then yeah, he's off to the races. I hope he does, because seeing him do crappy acting in cameo spots over and over is going to get cringe worthy for us Pats fan who like to think of him differently.

 

[IcyPatriot]

I hope it works out for him ... even if it doesn't he's made a lot of money he'll be fine.

His Jack Links Jerky commercial with Stephen A-hole Smith induces vomiting and seizures for those ill-prepared for the unseemly spectacle.

I fear that Alex Karras as Mongo is Gronk's ceiling as an actor.

 

[Patstopia]

He is just playing himself. It remains to be seen whether he can lose Gronk and play something else.

A Star is born.

True. He has plenty of time to figure out the rest of his life. He should not be in a hurry.

It takes quite a bit of focus and discipline to be an elite athlete. If Gronk can channel that seriousness into his craft, he'll generally be successful regardless of what he chooses to do.
