The adorable youngster is fast building up his modelling portfolio as it’s the second time he’s been chosen to front the brand following the SS13 campaign with Cara Delevingne.

In fact, Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey is reported to have handpicked the young star to front the new Christmas advert.

It’s no wonder the British heritage brand is so keen to work with the model – sales increased 13 per cent after he fronted the Spring / Summer 2013 range.

In the four-minute festive video, Romeo plays cupid as he brings love to a genetically-blessed couple amongst a theatrical London backdrop.

The youngster wears the brand’s signature checked pieces in the four-minute-campaign including the iconic trench coat and checked scarf.

Bailey said that the young Beckham is a joy to work with (so don’t be surprised to see him fronting another campaign for the brand soon!)

"It continues to be an utter joy working with Romeo – he has charm, style and great energy! I’m delighted that he’s the lead role in our festive campaign,” he said.

Romeo made a stylish appearance at the premiere of the film in London last night, stealing the spotlight from his famous parents (we imagine his younger siblings, including three-year-old Harper, were asleep at this point).

Romeo was pictured working the red carpet like an absolute pro at the campaign launch located at Burberry’s flagship Regent Street store.

His supportive parents, 39-year-old David and 40-year-old Victoria, were later photographed with their model son and both looked absolutely chuffed for him.
