Los Angeles, Aug 3 - Footballer David Beckham and former action movie hero Arnold Schwarzenegger will star together in a television commercial to promote California amongst tourists.

Beckham, 34, will be filmed playing football on a Los Angeles beach for the commercial and is said to have been 'honoured' to take part in the ad alongside Schwarzenegger, who is now the governor of California, reports thesun.co.uk.

'It will be a massive campaign. It shows the governor believes David is a big catch in getting tourists to visit,' said a source.
