In terms of their super-slick public images, these cover shots are a bit of departure.
Multi-millionaire footballer David Beckham may have been fantasising about living a simpler life, as he got his hands dirty masquerading as a macho mechanic for a magazine shoot.
And Victoria’s buttoned down fashion style was sexed up as she struck a sultry pose, looking unusually curvy, in a nude body-con slip by Roland Mouret for fashion and art magazine 10.
The pair feature in the new double cover issue of 10 magazine, marking the publication’s 10th anniversary.
The high-brow style bible is an arty mag about high fashion, rather than about celebrities and dieting – so the Beckhams appearance on its cover is a surprise choice.
Inside there is a 40-page spread of the smouldering couple, shot by photographer Cedric Buchet.
Victoria’s cover pose showcases her new hairdo, which she wears in curls, while David, playing the tattooed mechanic, wears an oil-stained white T-shirt after a hard day’s graft at the garage.
In the accompanying interview, Victoria talks about her fashion line, saying: ‘My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes.
‘Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!’
Victoria also revealed that she has no intention to leave the fashion world. ‘I still plan to be doing this in 10, 15, 20 years time, so it’s got to be done right,’ she said.
Beckham admitted that he still hasn’t got used to being looked up to as a sex symbol.
Speaking about his time as an Armani underwear model, a role which Cristiano Ronaldo took over this month, David said: ‘I still feel quite shy when I see a poster or campaign like that.
‘It was a daunting experience stripping off in front of a room of people but after a while you get used to it – although my mum still hasn’t.’
