David Beckham new face of Burger King

Soccer star David Beckham has become the face of a new campaign by fast food chain Burger King. The 36-year-old footballer, who is known for his super fit figure, is promoting one of the burger chain’s new healthier options, a 310 calorie strawberry banana smoothie, reported Daily Mail online. Beckham is seen in Burger King’s new commercial, which comes as the restaurant chain has been making changes to their menu in order to improve slumping sales.
