He is a movie character from "80 for Brady" about a bunch of octogenarians that want to see him play sports.

It has Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Sally Field in it.

It looks quite good.

Im even more confused. I also have never heard of those people before. Are they internationally famous or just minor American celebrities

They are literally 80 somethings. Real big celebrities in their prime.

Jane Fonda is famous for the 80s exercise fad. Workout by Fonda was HUGE. Fit woman in Lycra with 80s hair... Also Barbarella in 67.

Sally Field, famous actress, also 60s onwards.

Lily Tomlin us a very funny actress.

Tom Brady was made up for the movie.

Also Google.

PS: I am not American so I have no idea about minor American things like Tom Brady... The made up character.
