David Beckham "Amazed" By The Attention His Armani Ads Received

Soccer hunk David Bekcham says he was taken back by at the attention his
recent Armani ad received.

The LA Galaxy star, who turned up to see the unveiling of his building-sized ad in San Francisco last week, made his comments as he reacted to the hoards of screaming women and men that turned out to see him.

He wrote on his online Blog, "Well I'm sure you've seen the pictures but last Thursday I went to San Francisco to see the unveiling of the new Emporio Armani campaign I shot a while back.

"To be honest I was amazed by the huge billboard poster outside Macy's department store, but even more amazed by the amount of people who turned up to see it!"

Beckham, 33, was revealed as the face of Emporio Armani’s underwear campaign in December of last year, but his latest series of ads, which feature the chiseled Brit posing on the beach, have continued to create a stir. The attention of the saucy shots has forced a double take by Becks himself.

He added, "I'm always surprised by the amount of attention certain things create, but the attention this campaign has created is pretty incredible."
