Rob Gronkowski buys a party bus
The four-time Super Bowl champion never refrained from expressing his emotions in public. Whether it is the post-victory celebrations or the locker room fun, Gronkowski loves to make it grand. In order to commemorate such special occasions and take this to a whole different level, the veteran bought a party bus. It was sponsored by Body Armour, which includes a high-end sound system, a mini bar, multiple televisions, and custom upholstery. Not to mention, this is one of the most unique purchases Gronk has ever made, and certainly nobody else in the NFL arena owns something like that.
Gronk parties after crushing defeat
Win or Loss, Rob Gronkowski likes to celebrate the occasion. The only way he does that is by dancing and throwing a grand party. After a terrible loss in Super Bowl XLVI to the New York Giants, the star vented his frustration by getting on stage with LMFAO. He danced with an injured ankle, which hindered his performance during the game. It was a unique and effective way for him to make a comeback.
‘Gronky Spikes’ has a separate fanbase
The former tight end started a new trend of touchdown celebrations after introducing his Gronk spikes in 2010. His long-time quarterback Tom Brady passing the ball near the endzone and Gronk making unbelievable receptions, and thereafter tossing the same ball on the field, remains one of the most cheerful moments for a true Patriots fan.

No one can make that move as perfectly as Gronk did in his entire career. Those signature seismic spikes used to send shockwaves across the opposition’s base.
Unexpected appearance during a White House press conference
Gronk has a great aura, spreading happiness wherever he goes. Even if it takes interrupting a serious press conference at the White House. He did crash one of those sessions in 2017, when the former secretary, Sean Spicer, was busy delivering updates on national issues.
Gronk surprised everyone by sneaking into the conference area from the middle of the back curtains. He asked Spicer whether he needed any help and vowed to remain by his side. It turned out to be a fun moment on national television.
Gronk’s Super Bowl parade celebrations
The 34-year-old won four championship titles in a decade while playing with his best man, Tom Brady, in New England and Tampa. He graced all those Super Bowl-winning moments with crazy celebrations. Per thesportster.com, Gronk catching a sock-rocket of Fireball from a fan along the parade route and passing the Lombardi with other teammates on a boat were some of the wildest ways the star TE celebrated his wins. Gronk will be eligible for his Hall of Fame induction in the class of 2027.
