David Beckham: My Super Bowl Ad Was 'Kind Of Embarrassing'

David Beckham? Bashful? Believe it.

The soccer hunk revealed in an interview on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on Monday that his already-famous Super Bowl commercial (a spot for his new H&M underwear line) made him blush when it came on TV.

"I'm very shy. When we were watching the Super Bowl yesterday in a room of about 20 people and it came on and I actually didn't know where to look. It was kind of embarrassing.

"The kids loved it but they were also embarrassed as well because there was other people in the room."

We'd like to officially let David know that he has nothing to be ashamed of. Can we get an amen?

But Becks says he preferred the filming of the ad -- which features Beckham in a pair of tight white underwear and nothing else except his tattoos -- to its airing in front of 111 million people at Sunday night's Super Bowl game.

"Shooting it, there wasn't too many people in the room so it was pretty easy."

Listen to the interview below to find out what kind of underwear David's a fan of (it might surprise you!), and check out the sexy ad in question if you missed it.

Don't know what the hype is over Mr. Beckham, am not a fan....now if Dwayne Johnson had done this ad I do believe I would have had a hot flash.!

Nothin' to be embarrassed about. If I have that body I'd show as much of it as possible, and entertain myself with the ka-ching-ka-ching of my bank account. So what, if a few GAYS were entertained along the way as well. Lovely candy for anyone.

It was poetry in motion.
All I could think of was, "Oh David, please don't let ME be misunderstood." giggle

Ha..his being embarrassed a little is good for the soul...shows he's not a narcissist and is basically a decent guy! Don't worry...that ad was tastefully done and definitely sexy to watch!

Get over it~ Spend the money you made on the ad and maybe your "embarrassment" will go
away. HA

easily the worst ad of the lot (not saying much)

OK...I don't think he's that good looking. I mean that...seriously. And, furthermore, I don't buy the "I'm shy" thing...sounds falsely modest.

I definitely enjoyed the ad. Love his tattoos too.

I had to write a blog post about it. David Beckham is living art. Just like the Michelangelo's,David, a beautiful body is what I see when I see Becks. Anyone can appreciate a beautiful body. Straight, gay, old, young. He's embarrassed about this ad? Look at some of his earlier underwear ads.

Botax? Please. This is what real people look like...people get wrinkles. Laugh lines, I should say. He looks like a happy family man. And I think Victoria is tight enough for the two of them! He is so gorgeous.

Yeah but they gave you money so you did it anyways.
As usual.
Fake whining.
