David Beckham has
touched down in the home of this year's World Cup ahead of this
weekend's Carnival, although he is there for business rather than
pleasure.
The
38-year-old sports ambassador is in the area for a sponsorship
commitment, but might just catch a glimpse of the annual event while he
is there.
David proved he's still grounded as he
pushed his own trolley carrying three large black North Face holdalls on
his own while carrying a large backpack on his back
The megastar looked like
he was trying to keep a low profile, covering up with a flat cap and
dressed all in dark colours. He was also sporting a beard.
David looked casual in a leather jacket teamed with a simple grey T-shirt, black slim-fit jeans and brown leather ankle boots.
Despite the beard and cap, David
attracted quite a crowd, but he was happy to meet many of his fans as he
landed at the airport and shook hands and signed autographs
Swoon! The sports star was pictured hanging out of his hotel balcony while friends took his picture
Later on, the handsome personality was pictured checking out the view as he leaned out against his hotel balcony.
With
Brazil hosting the World Cup this June and July, it is a spot of luck
Beckham is in town just before the country's most important annual
event, that is, if he gets a chance to see it.
With the footballing legend
reportedly staying at the Fasano hotel on Ipanema Beach - the most
stylish address in the city - he's sure to have a great time
Much-loved: David attracted quite a crowd at the airport earlier and signed autographs for excited fans
Happy-go-lucky: The globally famous star smiled as one fan pulled a football shirt out of his bag for him to sign
Worth a try: Despite having a beard and a flat cap, David could not go unnoticed
The interior has been created by
French interior designer Philippe Starck, with wood, glass and marble
giving the whole hotel a chic finish.
The
92 rooms have either a courtyard of ocean view and Beckham will
probably be staying in one of the 10 suites which boast sweeping vistas
of the coastline.
For even better views of the 'Marvellous
City', Beckham could head up to the rooftop infinity pool for a swim
before heading onto a special area of Ipanema Beach reserved exclusively
for hotel guests
No diva: David had no qualms about pushing his own North Face luggage around the airport
Help! At one point, David required some assistance to aid him in steering his trolley out of the airport
That's a lot of stuff: David had packed a lot for his short trip
Thrilled: Fans were overjoyed to catch a glimpse of their idol
Carnival is one of the most popular times to visit Rio and the party kicked off in style last weekend.
The
top twelve samba schools went head-to-head in a competition that
spanned two nights and involved feathers, sequins and plenty of
over-the-top costumes.
The three winners will be taking to the Sambadrome once again to close the event
Casual chic: The star was dressed down in a black leather jacket and skinny jeans for his flight
Big fan: A member of staff placed a protective hand upon David's chest as he made his way out of the car
Flash bulbs: No doubt the heartthrob is used to having his photo taken wherever he goes
Caring cutie: The star spent time talking to his fans on the street before getting into his car
Low-key: He leaned against the car for a moment while chatting to friends
