When You Introduce David Beckham To Unsuspecting Brits, They Lose It

We won’t deny being suckers for a well-executed viral marketing campaign. And adidas surprising people in a photo booth they set up in the Westfield Stratford City shopping center in England by springing none other than David Beckham on them? That deserves to go viral, thanks in no small part to the shock of the booth-goers. So we’ll do our part right now:

Lots of gasps, lots of tears. (Lots of tears.) Is it scary for Beckham at all, we wonder, that the mere sight of him has this effect on people? Well, even if it was, he’s probably used to it now, since he appeared to be enjoying himself during this. And watching it, it’s pretty hard not to enjoy it yourself. We can’t help but wonder, too – Beckham plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy, remember. Wonder what the reactions would be if he surprised people at a photo booth in L.A.?
