Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham has been used in a remake of Charles Dickens's 'A Christmas Carol' as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

Global sports brand Adidas, who sponsor the former England captain, have created a cartoon version of the tale called 'The Cautionary Tale of Ebenezer Snoop'.

Beckham warns US rapper Snoop Dogg that his presence will make a difference to a house party, which includes Andy Murray as a guest, while former tennis pro Stan Smith features later in the film as the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Chicago Bulls basketball player Derrick Rose and popstar Rita Ora also appear in the cartoon as the Ghosts of Christmas Future.
