Sir David Beckham latest move is in the world of Guy Ritchie’s criminal underworld drama, The Gentlemen.
Teaming up with Theo James for his latest Stella Artois advert has generated vast attention over reports that Meghan Markle could potentially join the cast.
The ad is a global campaign from Stella Artois and Netflix launched ahead of the series’ second season.
The former England captain, who has been the drinks company’s global brand ambassador for two-and-a-half years, draped in a grey suit and brown shoes as he joined the actor for The Gentlemen’s Serve campaign.
David’s collaboration with the Netflix show comes just days after reports Meghan Markle had been offered a part in series three, with insiders saying she could still bag a role despite claims her offer had been withdrawn.
The campaign sees Theo, who plays Eddie Horniman, the 13th Duke of Halstead, in the hit Guy Ritchie series, outbid David during an auction for a prized bull by intimidating him with a freshly poured pint of Stella Artois.
After Sir David bids – using a paddle with his signature number seven on it – he is handed a pint by Theo’s right-hand man, who threateningly tells David: ‘Courtesy of the Duke’, before slicing a knife across the head of the beer.
The auctioneer then announces Sir David’s bid has been withdrawn. As Theo leaves, he warns, ‘Never corner a bull, David’, before raising his own glass to the star’s.
Sharing the ad on Instagram, Sir David penned: ‘Message understood loud and clear Duke. Can’t wait for season two of The Gentlemen.’
