Move over Becks! Didier Drogba shows off his glistening muscles as he launches underwear range… and it's for charity
Not many people would fancy taking on David Beckham when it comes to posing in underwear.
But fellow footballer Didier Drogba clearly isn’t scared of Golden Balls and has launched his own range – Drogba & Co in collaboration with Hom.
And the 36-year-old, who is two years younger than Becks, has decided to model them himself and what's more one euro from each pair sold goes to the Didier Drogba Foundation.
The former Chelsea star can be seen in the image wearing the tight under wear while writing his name on a piece of glass in front of him.
Accompanying the snap, he wrote: 'I'm very proud to announce the launch of my underwear brand.The first underwear brand that will be launched to support a foundation,my foundation, The didierdrogbafoudation.
'They will be out on 1st of May,you can pre-order them at http://www.hom.com/didier-drogba/ 1€ from every pair sold will go to my foundation #drogba&co #drogba&co #drogba&co #drogbaco #didierdrogbafoundation #underwear #launch.'
Charity man: One euro from each pair of pants sold will go towards The Didier Drogba Foundation
The Ivorian footballer, who plays as a forward for Galatasaray in the Süper Lig, is known not only as one of the best players in Chelsea’s history but also for his charity work over the years.
The Didier Drogba Foundation was set up to provide financial and material support in health and education to the African people.
The father-of-three decided on building the hospital after a trip to the Ivorian capital's other hospitals, saying at the time: ‘I decided the Foundation's first project should be to build and fund a hospital giving people basic healthcare and a chance just to stay alive.’

Over the years Drogba has played an important part in helping bring peace to his county.
