Some Screencaps I made..
In the beginning there was David Beckham. Then there was Cristiano Ronaldo. But for the last two seasons there has only been one name associated with Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear: Rafael Nadal. You might already be familiar with some of the Ads, you might even have seen one of the billboards – but you’ll never seen Rafael Nadal like this.
To augment the successful Campaign Ads, an action-driven short film was shot. The film’s narrative called upon some genuine acting skills but – just like the modeling – Rafael Nadal took to it like a fish to water.
Speaking about the experience he said “[W]orking with Armani [it] is a new experience. It’s a different world that is very positive for me. I enjoy it a lot.”

To augment the successful Campaign Ads, an action-driven short film was shot. The film’s narrative called upon some genuine acting skills but – just like the modeling – Rafael Nadal took to it like a fish to water.
Speaking about the experience he said “[W]orking with Armani [it] is a new experience. It’s a different world that is very positive for me. I enjoy it a lot.”
The video was shot by the director Johan Renck, drawing on the inspiration from the theme behind this year’s Emporio Armani collection: gritty industrial and urban, grey backgrounds with an ode to film noir.
The video starts with our hero dressed in black tie, in an obvious hurry, running hard through an empty parking lot. Under his arm he has a package.
From a variety of angles, we see him running with long fast strides, undressing as he goes through the garage, and casting all off the garments to the floor. Bow tie, shirt, shoes etc, until he ends up just in his underwear… The rest? Watch for yourselves!

Do you get uncomfortable at the photo shoots?
With the shootings? No. The people from Armani are always very nice with me.
What makes you more nervous, a photo shoot or a match?
Preparing for a match, for sure.
Why’s that?
Because with pictures, you can repeat as many times as you want. My real life is the sport. All my life I worked to be a tennis player, to be in a good position of the ranking, to be competitive in all [of] the tournaments. The shootings — these things came because I did well on the tennis court. So I have fun on these things.
How does your girlfriend feel about women all over the world ogling your naked torso?
I never ask her.
It doesn’t come up?
It doesn’t come up, no [chuckles].
What do you think makes a good pair of jeans?
The most important thing is being comfortable. You have to feel good when you put the jeans on.
What about the underwear — do you wear Armani on the court?
All the time.
What kind?
I use the briefs.
Any specific color?
To play tennis, it’s better white [laughs].
I hear you just saw “Mamma Mia,” and you’ve seen “Phantom of the Opera” five times.
Six times now.
Between the Armani ads and being called the “King of Clay,” how do you control your ego?
[Laughs] I think it’s a little bit of a fabrication. I’m a real guy. I have the family always around me. They are not afraid to say anything to me.
