Channeling my inner geek

Becks no sooner moves to LA and he's going to Disneyland.
David Beckham's first endorsement since the announcement of his move to the US was unveiled today - depicting the soccer star as a dragon-slaying prince for Disney. Beckham's latest makeover as Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty is one of three new Disney-themed celebrity portraits shot by world-renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz for the Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign. Pop princess Beyonce Knowles, 25, is also featured as a demure Alice in Wonderland, sitting in a whirling teacup accompanied by singer Lyle Lovett as the March Hare and actor Oliver Platt as the Mad Hatter. Actress Scarlett Johansson, 22, is photographed as Cinderella, wearing a custom-designed Nicoletta Santoro gown and a 62-carat diamond tiara by Harry Winston, worth £165,000. Beckham, 31, who shot his part of the campaign on December 18 at the Spanish resort of Burguillo Lake, near Madrid, said during the shoot: "There were many Disney characters I liked as a kid."

So, don't get me wrong... I know this is silly... but there's a part of me that's really digging this prince charming thing. Sue me.
