David Beckham Makes a Charming Prince

Photographer to the stars Annie Leibovitz has been recruited to photograph some huge celebs for Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign. So far she's turned Scarlett Johansson into Cinderella (with the help of a Harry Winston $325,000 tiara), Beyonce into Alice in Wonderland, and David Beckham into a prince (wait, he wasn't one already?). Guess which one is our favorite so far? Here's more:

Leibovitz, who will soon dress another set of celebrities as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Little Mermaid Ariel, approached British soccer superstar (and new American import) David Beckham, with the concept of playing Sleeping Beauty's Prince. She asked the 31-year-old whether "prince" was an image he would feel comfortable portraying. Not surprisingly, Beckham was game, and the image was photographed near a lake outside Madrid, where he had been playing soccer for the team Real Madrid. The castle superimposed in the background is from Disneyland Paris.

"I'm the prince, and I'm sort of slaying a dragon, which is something I've never done before, obviously," Beckham says in the Disney press materials. "When I was called about it and asked to do it, I was very honored and really looking forward to it, especially with Annie doing the pictures."

Annie sure works wonders with that camera of hers. To check out the amazing photographs of Scarlett, Beyonce, Lyle Lovett and Oliver Platt just read more

    I think Scarlett looks amazing. But why the $325,000 tiara? I can't even see it! The one w/ Beyonce freaks me out. I don't like her anyways so maybe I'm biased...

    beckham looks too photoshopped. Maybe if he was leaning in and kissing the sleeping beauty like in the movie, that would have been so cute. Beyonce looks stupid as hell. Hey since Alice in Wonderland is a drug infused movie, wouldnt Lindsay Lohan be perfect! Pardon the irony, but it had to be said considering she is staying at wonderland!

    I don't like these pictures. They all look completely fake and airbrushed. The Beckham one especially looks like the entire thing was created on the computer and his face was cut-and-pasted on (especially since he has such a boring facial expression).

    The pictures are stunning...but couldn't they find someone other than Beyonce? I can't stand her. How about an actress with her own blonde hair?

    Am not crazy about these pics; why photoshop David's naturally handsome face and figure? Scarlett makes a great Cinderella, but the tiara is a waste; she could have been wearing a plastic one by the way this pic was taken!

    Annie Liebovitz is amazing. They aren't just photos, they are photo art, with photoshop of course being used. I like them!

    If they do the Little Mermaid next they should use Alyssa Milano. She was the insperation for Ariel so it would be clever.
    I am so glad everyone agrees with me about the Beyonce picture! I saw it was like "did she poop herself?" I love the Scarlet one. The David one is too photoshoped I would believe it if he wasn't there. With him having no expression it reminds me of the people saying he wanted to come to the US to start acting. HA! With that blank expression; I don't think so.

    It seems that everyone agrees about Beyonce. I really can't stand her. If Lindsay Lohan still had her red hair and she wasn't all cracked and boozed out, she might make a great Ariel. If they ever do Snow White, I think Sophia Bush would be a good choice. Not sure who to pick for Tinkerbell or Peter Pan.

    I'm surprised Beyonce didn't figure out a way to show her pit! haha! I love Becks so my initial reaction was like GolferGirl, he can be my Prince Charming any day. Love Scarlett's pic. I agree that Alyssa as Ariel would be clever.

    Beyonce as Alice in Wonderland? Really!?? I swear I was such a huge fan of hers when she was in Destiny's Child, but her attitude now just bugs me. I can't stand her.

    Love Scarlett's picture! David Beckham looks kind of blank in his, and the way he's holding the sword is kind of awkward. I really hate the Alice In Wonderland one, if only for the total absence of facial expressions.

    I think Annie Leibovitz is amazing. These are great photos. I cannot wait to see what's next. I agree with others that David and Beyonce didn't nail the look they should have. I totally agree with whoever said Gwen Stefani shoulda been Alice. Duh.

    they all looked air brush! ewwwwwww beckham handsome, darn he is old and POS she has such a big head that covers her entire her body. ahhhh, posh looks like alien! i thought david is in the 40's, but only to find out he's 31. i don't deny he has a nice body, but he doesn't have the HOT face, comparable to Brad Pitt!!!! Brad Pitt is still ruled in America!!!! As for Annie Lebovitz, she looks like a gremlin, i mean her nose is huge!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love all of these but I could do without Beyonce as Alice in Wonderland. But everyone else is great I love them!!!!!!

    Charmer no offense but is it really necessary to attack someone and call them a gremlin because of their nose size?? Lebovitz is one of the greatest and iconic photographers alive. She deserves a lot more respect then that. At least she didnt go the plastic surgery route and change her face like so many people today

    The only one I really like is the Cinderella/Scarlett one. It really captures the fear Cinderella must have felt when the clock struck. The David Beckham one is nice, but it looks more like something you'd see on a trashy romance cover. I would have liked the Alice one, but Beyonce was a poor choice. She just looks like Beyonce dressed up as Alice. Lyle Lovett and the other guy are perfect, but Beyonce has that Beyonce smirk, and does nothing to make me think that she is adorable, lost little Alice.

    I still can't get past the potential of the david beckham shot.

    the sword bugs me everytime...it should be up more, it just doesnt look natural. and his face looks so bored.

    and i agree...annie shouldnt be called a gremlin...she chose a life behind the camera, not in front of it.

    Annie Liebovitz is incredibly overrated. Don't love it and don't love her other shots. She's supposedly "wonderful." Um, no. She only photographs celebs who are more likely to be attractive. There photography students. That's her secret.

    “I can’t stand those articles where people spill their life story. After a while I feel like I know more about them than their best friend does — and that’s weird. It’s better when you don’t know everything.” -Scarlett Johannson
