Romeo Beckham, 10, Makes Spirited Ad Debut for Burberry Runs circles around the other models
Burberry's new spot for its spring/summer 2013 collection features a number of British models: Cara Delevingne, Edie Campbell, Charlotte Wiggins, Charlie France, Alex Dunstan and Max Rendell. But it's 10-year-old Romeo Beckham, the middle son of David and Victoria, who steals the show, hamming his way through the minute-long clip and literally running circles around his co-stars. Somewhere, his 13-year-old brother Brooklyn is groaning with embarrassment, while 7-year-old Cruz is looking up in wide-eyed adoration. The spot was directed by Christopher Bailey; the print work was shot by Mario Testino.
