David Beckham wants to make you wet, maybe

Becks is considering hanging up his gladiator skirt and kissing goodbye to his £2million endorsement deal in order to launch his own brand of water.

Since when did water become something you could brand anyway? We’re, like, 70% water, it’s hardly exclusive. Unless he’s going to sell his personal 70% of water… no, that’d be stupid.

Anyway, Becks’s contract with Pepsi runs out this year and they’re keen for him to stay. The health-conscious sportsman has been flogging the sugary pop for 10 years now, that’s a longer marriage than his and Victoria’s.

A ‘spy’ told the Mirror today:

“After 10 years he feels there are other things he could do. He is a global brand in himself and there is more scope for him to promote his own products. He has an idea for creating a range of healthy products, including water. That’s something PepsiCo might develop with him.

“David is keen to go down the healthy route to keep in with his sporty image. And Pepsi is desperate to keep him. So who knows…”

Who knows indeed. Funny how these ‘spies’, ‘sources’ and ‘friends’ always have some great tips that happen to coincide with a celebrity trying to wangle whatever they want at any given time. One of life’s little mysteries I guess.
