Is This David and Victoria Beckham in 35 Years?
70-year-old British magician Paul Daniels has fought back with humor at tabloids who attempted to embarrass his wife Debbie by publishing unflattering photos of them on a beach vacation. He and his wife have posed in Closer magazine in a mock parody of a recent Emporio Armani underwear ad by Britain's most famous tabloid target, Victoria and David Beckham.
That ad, AFTER THE JUMP...
The Telegraph reports:
"In the accompanying interview, Daniels declares that the couple's private life is every bit as steamy as this picture suggests. 'You don't expect the lustful passion of the early days, but we haven't let it die. We're still passionate. What can I say? We like sex,' he said. McGee confided that 'one of the secrets to our marriage is that we make each other laugh every day.' Daniels added: 'That and my sexual ability. Debbie says we'll stay married until I get it right.'"
The Beckham ads have also been imitated by British Olympic swimmer Mark Foster and parodied by British comic James Corden.

Why are the Europeans so obsessed the vacuous Beckhams? Who cares?!?
At least behind all the endlessly boring Brangelina crap there's eco-friendly housing developments and the world-wide plight of children...

Paul and Debbie are much more attractive and interesting than the Beckhams. Seriously.
If Americans actually feel the need to obsess about an over-rated football player and a washed up pop star with weight issues, why not focus on Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson? They're gross, but not quite on the level of the Beckhams.

I'd still do David, no matter how old he is.

I agree with David B, I don't understand the fascination the media and people in the U.K. have with the Beckhams. They're overrated, dull, serve no real purpose and as far as David's looks go, there are far more attractive guys out there. Don't even get me started on Victoria, she's just a mess. the couple above mocking them are far more appealing just by nature of their wit and originality.

Memaw Posh has WAY nicer boobies than plastic Posh Spice.

oh snap, I thought that was a Liz Taylor photoshopped on there.

Boffo! *applauds* Far better looking than the original ad campaign. Posh looks like a petulant goblin doll. I have never gotten the tabloid obsession with the two of them.

Adult diapers have sure come a long way.

I think this is an accurate portrayal of how those twats will look in 25 years. David Beckham is not aging well. He looks like your typical Englishman who peaked early.

I don't know what the big deal about Victoria is but c'mon, David Beckham was at the top of his game for many years. Football (soccer) is the biggest sport in the world. If you need an American to compare him to, Michael Jordan? Except more well known (worldwide), and pretty easy on the eyes. Not exactly a nobody.
