Wanna see Terry Bradshaw naked? What's that you say? Should be good for a laugh if you don't turn into a pillar of salt first? That's OK with Bradshaw. As usual, he did it to make you crack up. Bradshaw bares all in "Failure to launch," in which he co-stars with Oscar-winner Kathy Bates as Hie parents of a 35-ycar-old man (Matthew McConaughey) still living at home. They're reduced to hiring a woman (Sarah Jessica Parker) to seduce their son and induce him to leave. Once he's out, his room becomes daddy's Naked Room.
"Not Uiat I got a lot to show off here. But I really thought, and I think I'm right," Bradshaw says, "you seeing my butt is a shocker. "I just thought it shows the people that I've got the guts to do something like that. Which is important for me. It was kind of a brave thing for me.
I got a family I got to answer to. I got kids my older parents and my preachers and everybody," he says, then busts out laughing: "I'm going to have to answer for this." In an interview with Hie Associated Press, Bradshaw offers the same high-energy, easy-to-laugh persona sports fans enjoy on television until the bombast and ostensible buffoonery give way to a contemplative 57-year-old man baring his soul. But back to the bare butt for a moment: In his playing days, the ex-quarterback got undressed innumerable times in locker rooms with plenty of people around, so he didn't fret too much before walking to the movie set. "Once I dropped my boxer shorts and exposed myself to the entire crew, it was kind of refreshing in a way," he savs. chortling again.
"I was like: I can BREATHE. "It was fun to do. I wish I was about 90 pounds lighter, but it was fun to do." The Bradshaw you see in the movie tipped the scales at 244. He's down to 228 and hopes to get to his playing weight of 215. He packed on the pounds because of back problems he says stem more from running than from injuries during his National Football League career.
Bradshaw has joked about being ugly, but that's always just been shtick, he says. "Now if I'm next to Matthew McCo- ft cam Did you see the latest blockbuster and thought it stunk?

Bradshaw says it was hard to be taken seriously as an actor 25 years ago after being a football star. "I actually wanted to be accepted, and I wanted to learn the craft of acting, the techniques and told the agents that I found, 'I don't want big roles. I don't deserve big roles. I want to earn it, like the others do: Study do little scenes'." He wanted to build a resume, "but I never could get to first base, and so that's why I quit" The former football star has, uh, certainly rounded the bases in other ways, gaining popularity in sports-casting, first on CBS and now on Fox, and winning four Super Bowls Six make their debut at 2006 Blue Revue MOVIE: "Failure to Launch."

He also raises quarterhorses in Oklahoma and hopes to "eventually downsize" and spend a. few months a year in Hawaii.
In his youth, the Shreveport native who was born into a farming family thought he wanted to be an evangelist "But early in my life, too, everything impressed me. (I was) very conscious of heaven and hell and being saved. Too easily influenced by everything. "I really didn't have an independent side of me, as I do now. I'm real confident at this point of my life.
But for the most part in my life, I haven't been a real confident person about anything too eager to please, too eager to go along with, do what everybody else wanted to do. And you do that primarily to be accepted. I don't really care about being accepted now. I wish I had been like that earlier." Bradshaw openly talks about being diagnosed with clinical depression and ADHD a combo, he says, that "makes for a pretty screwed-up dude." He's been through "tons of therapy" and Paxil CR has worked for him, but he's been off it for eight months which has led to some recent headaches, chest pains, rapid pulse and shortness of breath. What makes him happiest is two weeks of "doin' nutliin'!" which entails enjoying his house and four dogs, spending time with his brothers, playing golf and fishing with his dad.
"Just being a bum, just being lazy. I love that." It also includes spending time with his teenage daughters. And what's the one tiling people would be shocked to find out about him? "That I'm quiet," he says, explaining that when he golfs with his friends, "I'm not screanun' and hollerin' I hardly say a word."

But so are YOU," he says, laughing uproariously and adding: "I don't want to hurt your feelings." But looks aren't a concern for Bradshaw since he's not planning a feature-film comeback anyway.
It's been a quartercentury since he appeared in "Smokey and the Bandit II" and "The Cannonball Run," playing himself or a variation of himself. He took the part in "Failure to Launch" only after being approached and even initially turning it down and stipulating that he would play a "low-key guy." Bradshaw has signed on for one other movie gig, and that's only because Oscar-winning screenwriter Billy Bob Thornton told him he's Adams Furlow School, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Johnson.
