David Beckham is normally not my jam, but I caught a glimpse of his new Boss One Bodywear campaign and had a real moment. At the age of 49, Beckham is returning to underwear modeling for the new campaign, which features a short film/long ad by photographers Mert and Marcus.
You know, David Beckham would have made a good Bond. Just on looks alone, he’s got the glamour, the swagger, the cool, the sex appeal. In some alternate universe, I wonder if he is an actor and Daniel Craig a footballer and they have each other’s careers.
There was a party in London last night to celebrate the launch of Beckham’s campaign, which brought Becks and Victoria and three of their kids, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Seven.
And Victoria couldn’t resist posting “my boss” with a photo of David’s abs. You know what, girl, go ahead and rub that in our faces. Victoria Beckham won life.
Also at the event were Gemma Chan, Nathalie Emmanuel—in a killer red suit—Bel Powley, Archie Madekwe fresh off his success at Sundance with the film Lurker, Jodie Turner-Smith rocking a beachy bob, and Bridgerton’s Luke Newton.
This reminded me to check on what Jodie Turner-Smith and Gemma Chan are up to, though. Jodie has been busy, besides The Acolyte, last year she also appeared in Bad Monkey and The Agency co-starring Michael Fassbender, and this year she’s in Tron: Ares and Kogonada’s new film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, both due out later this year. Gemma, meanwhile, has two films yet undated, Josephine co-starring Channing Tatum, and a film called The Actor, which co-stars Andre Holland. So, after big franchises let them both down, Jodie and Gemma are rebounding. Good. Don’t let Marvel and/or Star Wars nerds get you down.
