This Rafael Nadal for Armani video comes on the heels of another risque video made by the designer label that features pop star Rihanna changing clothes in the backseat of a car.
Now, the label has employed tennis champion Rafael Nadal to star in a similarly body-baring ad. Nadal is shown running through a parking garage in an Armani tuxedo, stripping off pieces of his tux as he runs. After spying a bag containing a change of clothes, Nadal strips down to his (Armani) underwear to put on a double-denim outfit by Emporio Armani.
At the end of the Rafael Nadal for Armani video, the tennis hunk ends up on the roof of the garage, where a huge Armani logo is taking off from a helipad. As the Telegraph puts it, "...it's not about the plot..."
