David Beckham admits that the commercial for his H&M underwear line that aired during the Super Bowl was “embarrassing” to watch in a room full of people.
“I’m very shy. When we were watching the Super Bowl yesterday in a room of about 20 people and it came on, I actually didn’t know where to look,” Beckham told Ryan Seacrest of his David Beckham Bodywear spot, which showed the soccer star in his skivvies, the camera lingering over his many tattoos as well as his posterior.
David Beckham said of watching his underwear ad during the Super Bowl,””It was kind of embarrassing,” Beckham added.
The soccer star, who has four children with wife Victoria Beckham, says his kids didn’t exactly know what to make of the racy ad either.
“The kids loved it,” said Beckham. “But they were also embarrassed as well because there was other people in the room.”
In the end, Beckham concluded that the commercial was easier to shoot then to watch in public.
“Shooting it, there wasn’t too many people in the room so it was pretty easy,” he told the host of “On-Air With Ryan Seacrest.”
Eva Mendes calls Ryan Gosling her “dream co-star.”
“He’s your dream co-star,” Mendes, 37, told Marie Claire of Gosling, who stars with her in the new movie “The Place Beyond the Pines.” She said working with Gosling was one of her most “satisfying” cinematic experiences ever.
But that’s about all the actress would say about Gosling, with whom she traveled to Paris last year, even going to the cemetery where Jim Morrison is buried.
“Stop, just stop,” she told the magazine’s reporter with a laugh when he attempted to begin a follow-up question about her beau. “I’m not gonna budge. I feel uncomfortable talking about it. It’s too personal.”
Jennifer Garner says she regrets getting married the first time in her 20s, calling her divorce “crushing.”
“I did marry in my 20s [to Scott Foley, who she divorced eight years ago] and I found divorce a crushing experience,” she told Britain’s The Sun. “I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did.”
After her divorce from Foley, Garner, now 39, started dating Ben Affleck and the two wed in 2005.
“Ben is not only my husband, he has helped me in every way,” she said of the “Good Will Hunting” actor. “He is the base of my life.
“He is an incredibly loving and generous man. I expected he would be a great dad and he is.”
The couple has two daughters Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3, and is expecting a third child soon.
