Derrick Levasseur, who won Big Brother 16, just shared on social media that he got to meet his hero.
It was back in the 2014 season that Big Brother fans got to know Derrick.
Putting together strong alliances and a final two agreement with Cody Calafiore helped lead Derrick right to the end.
On the season finale, the BB16 jury awarded Derrick the $500,000 prize on a 7-2 vote over runner-up Cody.
Years later, many Big Brother fans still call Derrick one of the best players the game has seen, but he passed on returning for Big Brother All-Stars 2.
Though he hasn’t played a second season of Big Brother, Derrick is very active on social media and has a YouTube page where he and Cody commentate about new seasons of the show.
Derrick Levasseur meets his hero
Today, Derrick took to Twitter to share an image of himself standing with Tom Brady.
“Meet your hero,” reads the simple caption that he wrote for the photo, making it appear like the top item on a checklist of things to accomplish in his lifetime.
Derrick lives in Rhode Island, which makes it quite clear why he is a fan of the New England Patriots and their former star quarterback, Tom Brady.
That makes it a pretty big deal for Derrick to meet Brady.
