David Beckham cut a smooth figure with a sleek new Nespresso shared on his Instagram on Monday.
The former footballer, 48, donned a cable-knit sweater as he sipped the brand’s Vivida B12 coffee and read a newspaper in a lush, leafy garden.
David’s new campaign, which focuses on taking time to enjoy lazy mornings, also referenced his love of beekeeping on the newspaper’s front page with a photograph of the insects in a honeycomb.
In the clip, the iconic English star enjoys a cup of coffee before the camera rises into the air and leaves space.
David later took to his Instagram Stories with a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot, showing that a drone was used to capture the shot before the additional use of special effects.
