He famously donned rump-enhancing, fluoro hotpants on
holiday, so perhaps posing in barely-there briefs isn’t such a
daunting task for the flamboyant footballer, Cristiano
Ronaldo.
The Real Madrid star, 24, has been revealed as the face of
Emporio Armani Underwear, filling the snug pants-sized space
vacated by David Beckham, for spring/summer 2010. Beckham has
modelled for the designer since 2007.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United for the Spanish club, in
July, for a record £80million, raised eyebrows – and laughs - when
he was snapped on holiday in Los Angeles, last year, in
bottom-grazing shorts. (His buffed body did negate this sartorial
faux-pas somewhat, even if his tan was a shade too close to David
Dickinson mahogany for comfort.) His campaign images are yet to be
shot.
And, in a move guaranteed to get men hot under the collar, the
Transformers actress, Megan Fox, 23, will replace Victoria Beckham
as the face of the women’s range.
The hotshot fashion photographers, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott,
have already snapped Fox’s soon-to-be released campaign images. Cue
the countdown…
