Wayne Rooney Battles His Shirtless Self for Powerade
For those of you like me who can appreciate furry, pale, slightly gnomelike British footballers, here's Manchester United's Wayne Rooney in a new spot for Powerade.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

The likeness to Shrek is uncanny, though he's still damn cute.

Dude, Rooney is the enemy! The USA plays England in the first World Cup match on June 12. We will crush them and their gnomelike star forward!
Even if you don't like soccer, there's going to be a lot of hot mens on that pitch.

I'd let my shirtless self win too, if he looked like that!

He's HOT! From the neck down!

"sports kit for your insides"
indeed.

Andy, our tastes seem to intersect here. I don't like pretty boys and prefer a plain, masculine face like Rooney's.
I think, though, my brother is responsible for this ad. His ad firm handles Powerade . . . so I have to ask him if he shot this. And can I have Rooney's number? LOL.

I want one. Or two.

I think its unfair that he gets called ugly. Its mainly from straight men though who probably feel the need to compensate for the fact that he is fitter than them and earns more in a week than they do in a year.
Hes ok looking, id do him.

He looks like he has Down Syndrome

Y'all are mean, he's adorable.

@Homer
Yes, I'll like a double McRooney, extra naked please.

He's Irish, not British. (Rooney). He'd be the first to tell you himself. And yeah that's a hot chest.

Very hot....thanks, Andy!

"slightly gnomelike"? "Down Syndrome"?
Andy, Mike, he may not be your typical gay prettyboy, but he's a person, and there are lots of people who find him attractive. Don't have to mock him.

he's masculine and doesn't look like all the other shaved pretty boys which are a dime a dozen and frankly, quite boring and vapid. all you gay slaves can have them, i'll take someone like wayne any day of the week!

I'm with the "I'll take him over a pretty shaven boy any day" crowd. He's fit, handsome, and looks like a man not a twelve year-old boy.

He has a beautiful face (and body) you guys are nuts!

@ Crispy
Just because he's on the otherside doesn't mean we can't think he's cute. ;)

Uh, yes, please!

Oh, no doubt! In fact (and I would never admit this to my pub friends), the English team is way hotter than the Americans.
Frank Lampard is my secret boyfriend.
