The London Daily Mail has an article about a photo shoot from a new Armani campaign that suggests that certain body parts might be, uh, digitally enhanced:
The former England captain stares sternly from the poster as if defying anyone to suggest a little computer enhancement might have contributed to the chiselled six-pack or, indeed, to any other parts of his striking physique. …
His spokesman was less forthcoming about the posters. Asked if the images had been enhanced to give Beckham a greater appeal, he replied: “No comment.”
In comparison, when he wore similar white trunks on holiday off Italy’s Ligurian coast 18 months ago, he just did not seem to fill them as well.
Reminds me when Men’s Fitness basically put Andy Roddick’s face over a more-buff body earlier this year. –Jim Buzinski (Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan)

I’m not sure about Becks bulge, but can you point to a body part that is not enhanced? He must be one of the skinniest men around yet in the ad he’s got great pecs and abs. Still, it is nice to look at, real or not.

Yeah it’s a real shocker to learn that an advertisement photo was probably doctored.

In the end, do any of us care? It’s a hot photo.

I’m less interested in Becks’ body than in his handsome, glowering face. I think he’s extremely hot, doctoring or no. (And besides, what’s wrong with a little extra fantasy?)

Everything about this photo (doctored or not) – especially Dave’s handsome scruffy face,his buzzcut haircut,and his manbulge,gets my testosterone doing its job. Gorgeous photo!

OK. OK. OK. I’ll be happy to find out if it’s real or not. Somebody’s got to do it.

I guess I want to say who cares if it’s doctored because he’s so hot but the truth of the matter is that it provides an unrealistic depiction of what a lot of guys would like to look like. It’s similar to Women’s Magazines that portray skinny girls and then we wonder why there are so may anorexic women. The standards are too high and unattainable.
BUT it’s HOT anyway!

I wish more guys were as open as becks. These are the people we should be praising!
