David Beckham has teamed up with actor and comedian Kevin Hart to give a humorous take on the world of Beckham himself in his new H&M campaign. For the new Modern Essentials selected by David Beckham Autumn 2015 Collection, Hart plays a method actor preparing to take on the role of Beckham.

Kevin Hart is one of the funniest, smartest guys around. I love to do the unexpected for my H& M campaigns, and I don’t think anyone thought I’d do comedy. I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as I did making it,” says David Beckham.

“To be able to make fun of a global icon like David Beckham is a comedian’s dream. I love fashion as much as I love sports, which is why I was so excited to star in David’s new H&M campaign,” says Kevin Hart.

This year, as part of its long-term relationship with David, H&M launched Modern Essentials selected by David Beckham. It’s his pick of the wardrobe essentials a man needs each season, and this new Autumn 2015 Collection is available in every H&M store that sells menswear from the beginning of October.
