No sooner has David Beckham settled into his new job at Real Madrid than he's out in the Spanish summer heat lensing a soft-drink commercial.
No sooner has David Beckham settled into his new job at Real Madrid than he's out in the Spanish summer heat lensing a soft-drink commercial.
The England captain was spotted Monday "kitted out in a smock and sleeveless tunic" -- plus not-quite-matching sunglasses -- during a seven hour stint on the set of the 90-second Pepsi-Cola spot, the Sun newspaper said.
In a dispatch from Medinaceli, where shooting has been underway for three days, the Sun said Beckham stars as a player "in an olde worlde football team" with fellow footballers Raul, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos.
"We've been told to say nothing about what goes on or we'll be sacked," an extra was quoted as saying.
A pair of fuzzy telephoto pictures in the Sun showed Beckham sitting with a blonde "co-star" and standing attentively in his gladiator get-up -- holding what looks like a can of soft drink in his right hand.
