David is Target's Newest Employee.. So to Speak

David took the idea of selling yourself to a whole new level after going undercover as a Target employee fragrance salesman for the Ellen DeGeneres show. The LA Galaxy super star donned a store uniform, baseball cap and glasses as he tried to hawk his Homme cologne at a branch of the store in Hollywood. Ellen controlled what the footballer said and did by issuing instructions through a speaker in his hat.

He pretended he was Ricky, an Australian supermarket worker who had been tasked with selling the fragrance. As one customer stopped to take a sniff, he told her 'actually, let me spray it on my leg. It smells so much better.'

And moments later he sparked howls of laughter from the audience when he was misspoke the phrase 'rustic scent' as 'a very rough extent' as he tried to continue his sales pitch. He then tried to explain his accent away to locals by saying, 'I'm, from Australia,' but he was almost rumbled when a customer told him he sounded 'very English.'


At the end of the interview and skit, Ellen gifted David with a Galaxy track suit in pink for little Harper... how cute is that!
