Waxman Staff Writer Sep 28, 2015 3:51 PM UTC In a new ad for clothing brand H&M, actor Kevin Hart is preparing to play retired Manchester United soccer star David Beckham in a movie by shadowing the player. Naturally it does not take long for the comedian to get on the athlete’s nerves, especially when Beckham is woken up at 4:00 a.m. to find Hart in bed with him or when the actor starts screaming in pain while the two take an ice bath on a rooftop. And the whole time, they are wearing outfits from H&M’s Modern Essentials Collection. ### Take a Peek of Saks's Luxurious New Empire Inspired Clothing Line TK  Left: Cushnie et Ochs White Silk Crepe and Honeycomb Mesh Halter Top, $895; Right: Alexis Bittar Pavo Hinged Collar Necklace, $595 and Earrings, $395 Saks Fifth Avenue  MCM Berlin Coated Canvas Crossbody Bag, $1495 Saks Fifth Avenue  Left: Boss Coat, $845; Boss Suit, $1,095; Boss Shirt, $235; Boss Neckwear, $95; Boss Shoes, $445; Right: Jimmy Choo Etched Derby Shoes, $825 Saks Fifth Avenue  Left: Vince Moto Pant, Black, $225; Vince Sweater Raglan Crew, Black, $165; Vince Jacket Hooded Suede & Leather Jacket, Black, $1,095; Right : Jimmy Choo Origami Leather & Embossed Suede High-Top Sneakers, $795 Saks Fifth Avenue  Left: Jimmy Choo Patent Leather Monk-Strap Shoes, $825; Right:MCM Munich Lion Coated Canvas Backpack, $1295 Saks Fifth Avenue  Left: Isaia Grey/Yellow Windowpane Suit, $3,945; Isaia Tan/Blue Dress Shirt, $795; Isaia Textured Tie, $235; Right: MCM Visetos Reversible Belt, $295 Saks Fifth Avenue ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4052151/david-beckham-kevin-hart-hm-ad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4052151/david-beckham-kevin-hart-hm-ad/"},"headline":"Watch Kevin Hart Annoy David Beckham in Every Possible Way","datePublished":"2015-09-28T15:51:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:46:57.407Z","description":"In the spot, the actor is getting ready to play the renowned soccer star in a film","url":"https://time.com/4052151/david-beckham-kevin-hart-hm-ad/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Business topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf57501d444f99ded/698865c83c16394238459f71/david-beckham-kevin-hart.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
