The LA Galaxy star signed a two year deal to support two of Sharpie's products,  and has already starred in a 15-second television ad which aired in the U.S last month.

Although the details of the deal are undisclosed, Beckham,32, is bound to be making a tidy sum to add to his other projects.

David said: “I have always enjoyed signing autographs for people, especially since I used to love getting my heroes’ signatures when I was younger,” said David Beckham.

“I love to use Sharpie markers, so it’s a natural choice for me to partner with them.”
