When David Beckham was asked by reporters whether the footage was real, Beckham said, "Of course," adding, "I spent five or six hours on the beach so I had a lot of time to practice."
A Diet Pepsi commercial shows David Beckham kicking soccer balls into faraway garbage cans, but skeptics say the footage must be some kind of high-tech fake. In the 69-second-long clip, a barefoot Beckham casually dribbles a ball on a sunny California beach (while holding a can of Pepsi, naturally).
A man behind the camera asks him whether he can hit three distant trash receptacles with three separate balls. Beckham takes him up on the challenge, and casually launches a series of booming kicks, all of which find their destination in spectacular fashion. The video has racked up over 2 million hits on YouTube.
