Becks sprints through LA streets in underwear in new ad

David Beckham's latest ad campaign sees the footballing star running scantily clad through the streets of Los Angeles.

The short film, which was directed by Guy Ritchie, advertises the 37-year-old's latest Bodywear collection for fashion retailer H&M.

David is an obvious protagonist. For me it was more than a campaign, it was like directing a short film.

In the advert Beckham sprints through the streets and gardens of Beverly Hills in pursuit of his dressing gown which gets trapped in a car door.

I hope that everyone has as much fun when they see the film as I had when I recorded it.

Here's a look behind-the-scenes at the filming of the advert:

On Wednesday Beckham took over the H&M Twitter account to take questions from users and was asked about a host of topics from fashion to football.

Hi, David here on H&M's account! Use #AskBeckham and tweet your questions to @hm and I’ll get back to you later today //Beckham
