Guy Ritchie has directed the new David Beckham for H&M Bodywear commercial. Yes, you read that correctly. The same guy who directed action-packed, gun-slinging movies like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and RocknRolla is now pointing a camera at Goldenballs in his skivvies. Still, it’s definitely not the worst way to spend one’s day.
The concept of the commercial was developed by Marc Atlan Design in collaboration with H&M and Beckham’s team. Basically, David walks out of his house in a white robe to say goodbye to Posh and the boys (presumably — their faces are never revealed) in their Range Rover. When his family pulls away, David’s robe gets caught in one of the doors, and he gets locked out of the house by the family dog. Naturally, Becks takes it all in stride by picking a wedgie and deciding to chase the car.
The rest of the commercial focuses on Beckham in action and running through the streets of Beverly Hills with his bulge on prominent display. Somewhere along the way, he loses his shirt too. Here’s the commercial, and you can see for yourself:
It’s actually a pretty good commercial, and I don’t mind the double instance of wedgie picking if it means looking at David Beckham’s butt. Guy Ritchie did a good job of navigating the escapades of Beckham running through various backyards and even swimming through a pool to try and reclaim his white robe. At one point, he gets very close to the car, and it’s hard to believe that Posh wouldn’t notice her nearly naked husband running through the street in hot pursuit. However, I think Posh’s sense of humor would mean that she’d just keep on driving.
Look at that bulge! It simply can’t be real.

Good underwear won’t give you a wedgie.

Hahaha. My thoughts exactly. I wouldn’t buy underwear if I knew they were going to ride up.
I do have to give him mad props for running in those slippers though. Oww.

I don’t think green is his color, he should remove them immediately.

He is a yummy thing, isn’t he. Nice to see the objectification spread around to the boys! This commercial feels like one of those weird Euro commercials, shot kind of very fast and cheesy. I like. What do you think he’s got stuffed in those shorts?

Exactly! We’re a long way from equal objectification but I’d say this ad is a superior contribution to the ’cause’. This man has a SPECTACULAR body, and looks so good running! And I’m glad he draws attention to his ass, just like women highlight their assets in advertising all the time. Love this, thumbs up!

It’s David Beckham. Logic dictates, therefore, that it is both hot and dumb.

I have never understood the attraction of this man – guess he is not my type – he just looks dumb.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I’m with you. I actually find him almost repulsive, a skinny, tattooed version of Ricky Gervais. And his speaking voice is about as opposite from sexy as you can get.

+1. Not only would I definitely kick him out of bed for eating crackers, I would make him buy me a replacement box of crackers. He has a skinny-fat body with no definition and his muddy jail tatts look like his kids scribbled all over him with a magic marker. Not to mention the botox. If seeing this ad and having him on the packet is supposed to make me want to buy these underpants it ain’t gonna have the desired effect.
Incidentally, the body double who takes over for part of this ad (see many other posts all over the internet) has a much better bod.

I saw this commercial on TV last night and I literally sat up and took notice; I couldn’t stop grinning at the sight of him running in little white slippers. He is one damn fine looking man, I don’t care if he’s picking a wedgie or picking his nose…when he clenched his bottom at the end of the ad, I almost broke into a sweat, lol.

White hot!!! I love me some Becks!! Muscles and tattoos and Victoria is the one who says he is well endowed! So the bulge is more than likely accurate. Sigh.

I agree, that’s all he can go for, cheesy stunting to show off his body. Big deal. Men with perfect six packs and prominent man parts who have no other appealing qualities elicit no drool from me. If I can’t picture myself laughing and having great conversation, their man parts aren’t anything special to me.

So 30 plus year olds need to hang it up and not be sexy? If you are as sexy as Becks you can rock it til your 100 honey!

He’s beautiful. Also, it could be a real bump. My ex husband was like that; he had a huge bump, but he was an ass. Too bad for me

Totally meh about him. A man’s body is not the foremost attraction for me…..it’s the personality, eyes, voice, and brain, then the body…plus I’m not into tats at all….and Beckham fails it for me on all those fronts. I think he’s a sellout to his’brand”, he has zero personality, his voice is excruciating, and he’s basically whipped after all his dalliances with other women over the years…..Vickie won’t put up with him tarnishing the brand. They are so manufactured, I sense zero chemistry with them and their try-hard.

I’m not seeing anything that remotely resembles an impressive bulge.
Becks is overrated, his voice, his face, his body is pretty meh too, hes got pecs like a pre pubescent boy.

Really never got the appeal. He is sorta good looking in the face. His body is so average skinny arms, O.K. quads, but expect much better from an athlete. Waay too much ink.

That ad looks so Mentos dumb & budget.
There’s a strange movie with Burt Lancaster called “The Swimmer” where he plays an aging business man slowly having a nervous breakdown as he swims his way across his wealthy neighbourhood, going from pool to pool. Rent it, it’s amazing. (A very young Joan Rivers has a cameo!) Sort of a Don-Draper-the-later-years California existential crisis.
Anyway, I think this cheesy ad is playing off that great movie.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I tought exactly the same ; it reminded me of the Swimmer, which is a great movie, but not so fun, so it’s a bit weird, felt almost like uncomfortable.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
The Swimmer is from a golden age when cinematic films were a lot more grown-up and mysterious.
And men were men.
Oh, Burt.
So world-weary. And so butch.
Sigh.
David Beckham waxes his eyebrows and Guy Ritchie is a gimmicky mockney.
But yes, it is quite a funny ad.
I wish it had starred Javier Bardem in his smalls instead though.

OMG He’s incredibly hot and I like the humor of the commercial, while it still manages to showcase his body (for women) and athleticism (for men). I’ve always thought he had cross-gender appeal. Yum! Despite my drooling, I don’t really see the huge bulge everyone is talking about. Looks normal to me…
Report this comment as spam or abuse
i don’t think the add is very clever. running through back gardens and back lots been done so many times before in so many movies. Its a strong visual concept but I think Ritchie could have done more with it, in a more original way. The soundtrack is also totally wrong. Even though i think becks looks great most of the time, and no doubt, here he still looks good, somehow, he looks a bit too thin for my personal taste and not that sexy. He also is not an actor and does not have any magnetism in this short film at all.

OMG that was so hot. Really.
I can’t help but ask if they added some padding. Sorry.
Even regardless, this was one hot commercial. Yummy.

It was dumb of the director to use a butt double instead of David Beckham’s own butt! HOW STUPID IS THAT? If the director or David did not feel that his butt was sexy enough for the commercial, they could have focused the camera on any part of Beckham’s body, and the commercial would have been successful.
P.S. It was the attention that was paid to David Beckham’s frontal ‘package’ that made him an underwear superstar, not his ass/butt!
