David Beckham: The Real Slim Shady?

Becks_eminem

Brand Beckham has gone full-on Eminem in a recent campaign in an effort by Adidas to coddle the footballer's image toward the U.S. market, reports the Daily Mail. Honestly, why screw with something that works?

New reports also indicate that Becks could be the new face of L’Oreal in a deal worth £10 million.

  1. Um, he looks more like Kevin Federline than Eminem...what a horrible look! Only Addidas could make Beck's look fugly!

  2. Federline! Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking! It's hideous.

  3. No no no wrong wrong wrong. WTF were they thinking! The reason one dresses like that is that one *doesn't* have the qualities of face and body that Becks has.

    Sigh.

  4. I am appreciating Beckham less and less. This "angry white-trash boy" look is not at all appealing. His fauxmosexual status is in jepardy.

  5. I guess he'll do almost anything for money. Ridiculous.

  6. Beckham obviously doesn't know himself... an ideal identity-crisis specimen for scientology.
    and he might just want to consider dropping the Posh miracle diet and enjoy a sandwich or three.

  7. Too funny, does he have his own personality or style? This urban "cool" is pretty ridiculous, it was silly with Enimen and its silly with him to, even though that suburban crowd of kids they are pandering to will laugh this one off! And, then there is that little thing called his "voice!"

    Sexy only when silent!

  8. Yawn.

  9. I'd still do Becks. As for looking like K-Fed, he's another one of my fantasy men, so that would be like sleeping with both Becks and K-Fed at once. Wonderful! Becks needs to be taking more off than covering more up!

  10. He looks better in the other pictures from this campaign.  He and Adidas are selling urban sportswear to teenagers and young men.  It's a lucrative market, but it's not something that's supposed to appeal to middle-aged men.

    Beckham has been known as a hip hop fan for ages; he's hardly taking style cues from Eminem or Kevin Federline.  Those just happen to be two white guys whom you're familiar with who wear urban sportswear.  But there are many more people, all black and brown, that Beckham is taking his style cues from here now, and for good reason.  There's a lot of money in this look.  Especially in LA where soccer fans are mostly Mexican and Latin.

  11. ...d-i-v-e-r-s-i-t-y...please, it's just a look...of course everyone is entitled to their own opnion...but let's not get carried away 'cuz it's not that serious...lol

    Posted by: yeahisaidit | Mar 21, 2007 11:11:46 AM


  12. but with all that is being said...I don't like those baggy b-ball shorts. Remember those hot shorts from the '70s? At least then you could check out the junk.

    Scientology can take him because he is now crap at football and anything that would marry Skelator has to be a bit mad.

  13. He looks like a complete idiot.

  14. Another unmade bed..

  15. Can anyone please explain the shorts and the baggy pants of today??????????????? I haven't seen a basket or a set of great buns in years. What happened to them??????????????

    Just a thought.

    Posted by: Dr. Pat | Mar 21, 2007 10:28:04 PM


  16. Hmmm...he looks like a creepy junkie in that photo.
