David Beckham cuts a dapper figure on the set of Guy Ritchie-directed whisky advert

He's one of the world's most handsome men.
And retired footballer David Beckham looked smoking hot on the set of the new Haig Club whisky advert, which was directed by Guy Ritchie and filmed in the Scottish Highlands.
The father-of-four got stuck into things and can be seen trying his hand at filming in a special behind-the-scenes shot from the commercial.

Clad in a green velour suit jacket with a black bow tie, David was spotted laughing with a glass of whisky in one hand and the camera in the other.

In the teaser clip for the advert, the sports icon can be seen revving his engine along an open road as he bikes his way through the Scottish Highlands.  
With his eyes firmly on the road, the 39-year-old lets go and allows the free-flowing air to run through his fingers.
He then shows off his more adventurous side as he swaps the highway for a rugged hillside.

The clip hints that the new commercial will be a must-watch in a similar vein to his infamous H&M bodywear advert last year, which saw the handsome father-of-four running through the streets of Los Angeles wearing just his pants.
Like that advert, the Haig Club promo has been directed by filmmaker Guy Ritchie.
Although only a few seconds of the shoot has been released, David was spotted filming different scenes around Glen Affric Estate in Inverness-shire.

It was announced in April that Diageo had teamed up with Beckham and music mogul Simon Fuller to launch Haig Club – a single grain, no-age-statement Scotch whisky.
The product is created from liquid sourced from the Cameronbridge distillery and is comprised of a variety of aged whisky from three types of cask: first-fill, rejuvenated and refill Bourbon barrels.
David said at the time: 'The House of Haig has a rich history and I’m proud to be working at the heart of a home-grown brand which has built an incredible heritage over 400 years.
'Working closely with Diageo, we look forward to collaborating on Haig Club, valuing and treasuring the Haig traditions while reinventing this whisky for years to come.' 
Speaking about his decision to work on a whisky brand, the retired footballer explained that his tastes were changing as he heads into his forties.
He told the Telegraph: 'I am starting to enjoy whisky and have done for the last few years. This is a natural movement - but there has had to be a movement.'
