David Beckham Ad Shows Soccer Star Chasing Car, Jumping Hedges in Just His Underwear (Video)

So, this is what they’re doing in Los Angeles these days.

David Beckham is back at the underwear commercial thing, and this time he’s doing it in a Guy Ritchie-directed commercial for H&M.

In the ad, Beckham has the unfortunate accident of his night robe getting caught in the door of the family Range Rover, leaving him in nothing but his underwear and a tank top in the middle of the driveway. When the family dog then closes the door of the house behind him, Beckham is left with nothing to do but chase the car throughout the entire neighborhood, in pursuit of the runaway night robe.

Beckham’s trek leads him through several backyards, including a patch of hedges that somehow strips his tight-fitting tank top right off his back. He also darts through a children’s soccer game and into the pool of a home belonging to what looks like some models. Beckham nearly catches the Range Rover — only to see it just get away, down the windy streets, as some tourists pull out their cameras.

The high-quality underwear makes it through unscathed.

Fiction, you say? Well, it kept our attention for a minute and 40 seconds.

Check out Beckham’s latest sure-to-be-talked-about ad in the video below.
