DAVID Beckham is aged 30 years — as he imagines announcing an end to malaria.
The ex-England skipper, 45, is done up with wrinkles and grey beard for a short film called Malaria Must Die, So Millions Can Live.
In it he declares: “We have defeated humankind’s oldest and deadliest enemy.”
The dad of four returns to the present to urge world leaders to help beat it in our lifetimes.
He said: “It breaks my heart that a child dies every two minutes from malaria.
“A future free from this disease is possible in our lifetimes.”
As part of the campaign Becks met BBC presenter Charlie Webster who was given 24 hours to live after contracting malaria while on a charity cycle ride to the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Experts at the Ridley Scott Creative Group aged Becks by three decades using face-swapping technology called Charlatan which merged an older face with the footballer’s.
Becks said: “The fight against malaria is a cause close to my heart because the disease remains a huge killer of children and we have the opportunity to change that in our lifetime.”
