Former soccer superstar Sir David Beckham is undoubtedly the king of commercial marketability.
The president and co-owner of Major League Soccer team Inter Miami, 51, currently has brand endorsement deals with the likes of Adidas, Boss, Lay’s, Verizon, SharkNinja, Tudor, Lenovo, and even the Bank of America, to name but a few of the companies and organizations he’s working with.
It should come as absolutely no surprise, therefore, to learn that Beckham is joining forces with Epic Games’ hugely popular online game “Fortnite” to unveil his own official character within the game.
Beckham took to social media to reveal the exciting news to his fans and followers.
David Beckham’s ‘Fortnite’ Character Looks as Trendy as Him
Sir David Beckham posted on his Instagram account about his new “Fortnite” character, sharing the exciting news with his 87.4 million followers.
The post — a paid partnership with Fortnite — is a carousel comprising one photograph and one video.
The photograph shows Beckham, holding a pen in his hand, with design concepts of his “Fortnite” character in front of him. The video shows Beckham walking in front of a mirror. He is wearing a white T-shirt and black trousers. His reflection, however, is the “Fortnite” version of himself wearing a sharp navy blue suit with Inter Miami’s club crest on it. Beckham is on the telephone and says, “Yeah, two outfits is great. Thanks, mate.” It appears to hint at the idea that his character will have two skins in the game.
Beckham’s caption on his post reads, “Working on my new @fortnite character… available very soon 🎮⏳.”
In “Fortnite,” celebrity characters primarily fall under the game’s Icon Series. The enormous roster of major stars includes world-renowned musicians (like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Billie Eilish), top content creators (like MrBeast, Ninja, and Clix), and superstar athletes (such as LeBron James, Neymar Jr., and Lionel Messi). One would assume Beckham will be added to the latter list.
Beckham’s fans and followers flocked to the comments section of his post to have their say on it.
