WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- David Beckham plays a
prince in a new Disney campaign, his first showpiece endorsement since
announcing his move to Los Angeles.
Beckham was among the celebrities photographed in roles of Disney movie characters last month during a "Year of a Million Dreams" promotion for Walt Disney theme parks.
The international soccer star, marketing giant and
fashion icon was photographed as the prince from "Sleeping Beauty," astride a
white horse and fighting a fire-breathing dragon.
"There were many Disney characters I liked as a kid,"
Beckham said in a statement released by Disney on Friday. So to be part of that
is an honor and very exciting."
The photo, shot at a lake near Madrid by photographer
Annie Leibovitz, will appear in magazines such as Vanity Fair and Vogue in
March.
The 31-year-old midfielder with Real Madrid signed a
recent five-year deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy of the MLS and will join the
club this summer.
