Wayne Rooney has teamed up with British rapper Giggs for an unlikely collaboration as they were pictured on Thursday for a new music video.
The former footballer, 39, was snapped on location in South London as he filmed the new film for fashion company Palace Skateboards.
Wayne was kitted out in a grey Nike jersey that carried the Palace logo for the shoot, as well as a white pair of tracksuit bottoms.
He boasted a big smile in between takes as he took time to speak to the crew.
Snaps showed Giggs, 42, emerging from a building with double doors as smoke billowed out from behind him.
Wayne could then be seen on the steps with the rapper as they filmed their scenes.

He was also pictured alongside England women’s captain Leah Williamson, Chelsea pair Reece James and Jamie Gittins, plus Tottenham Hotspur ace Lenna Gunning-Williams.
The football and fashion crossover drew a crowd as members of the public gathered to watch the scene unfold.
During another break in filming, Wayne was snapped as he enjoyed a sit down while playing with a football.
Earlier this week Wayne candidly opened up on his battle with alcoholism as he credited his wife Coleen for saving his life.
In an emotional admission, Wayne praised his wife and mother of his four children Coleen, revealing: ‘I honestly believe if she weren’t there I’d be dead.’
He gushed: ‘Coleen is massive. It’s bad because we’re two kids from Croxteth and then we grew up together and obviously we started dating and we got married and have kids.
‘But when I was 17 she could see, she knew my mind and she knew I was a bit out there. You know, I loved my football, obsessed with football but also I loved a night out or whatever going out.
‘She’s seen it very early on and she’s controlled that. Well, not controlled but helped me control that massively.

‘And at times you’re like, “What are you doing? Why do you keep saying don’t do this or don’t do that?”
‘How she’s managed me because I needed managing.’
Coleen and Wayne met when they were just 12 years old in Liverpool and started dating when they were 16.
The couple married in 2008 and have four children together – Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.
In the same chat with his teammate Rio Ferdinand, Wayne recalled one incident where he ‘drank for two days straight’ before turning up for football training.
In a bid to conceal his problem from the rest of his team and manager, Wayne would use eye drops, chewing gum and aftershave to mask his two-day binge.

However, he explained: ‘Come training and at the weekend I’d scored two goals and then I’d go back and go and drink for two days straight again.’
Since his sacking from Plymouth Argyle in December, Wayne has since landed a hosting role with the BBC.
He presents his own podcast, The Wayne Rooney Show, and is also a regular pundit on their flagship series Match Of The Day.
Earlier this year the Daily Mail revealed how Coleen is to star in a £10million fly-on-the-wall reality show on streaming giant Disney+ after it triumphed in a bidding war against Amazon.
After months of back and forth between the rival broadcasters, Disney+ have won the race with the massive fee, and cameras will go inside the Rooneys’ £20million super-mansion in Cheshire.
The ‘at-home-with’ format is expected to see former England footballer Wayne Rooney appear alongside his wife and their boys.
