We hear that Gisele Bundchen will star in a bizarre scene in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Deadspin reported that the strange segment, revealed during a recent dress rehearsal, features Tom Brady’s supermodel wife being assaulted and robbed, but ends on a happy note. Here’s how Brazil’s UOL described the scene in which Bunchden is “assailed’’:

“Another curiosity was on account of a passage where Gisele Bundchen, parading to the sound of ‘The Girl From Ipanema,’ was approached by an actor on the scene that resembled a robbery. In the end, however, occurred the message was of peace.’’ After the simulated mugging, Bundchen reportedly takes pity on the perpetrator and ends up protecting him. The opening ceremony is on NBC Friday at 7:30 p.m.
