UPDATE: The full-length Modern Essentials campaign, featuring David Beckham and a very enthusiastic Kevin Hart, is here!
The clever, adorable 7-minute video features more of the same goodness from the trailer and then some. Hart admittedly goes a little overboard in his mission to embody Beckham for an "upcoming role" in a faux biopic about the soccer star, using Beckham's toothbrush, getting into his bed and taking his car out for a joyride.
We'll let you find out for yourself if he's successful in the role below.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right Kevin Hart ?
David Beckham and Hart were spotted together in NYC back in July, wearing a slew of matching outfits in what was rumored to be a new H&M campaign. Those rumors were confirmed Tuesday morning when the brand released a trailer for its "Modern Essentials" ad, starring the two charming guys.
The LOL-worthy clips feature Hart moving into Beckham's house, attempting (and failing) an ice bath and even taking a stab at that dreamy accent. Hart is admittedly more enthusiastic about the odd coupling, as Beckham asks, "How long are you staying?"
Of course, the one-sided relationship is strictly for on-camera purposes. In a release from the brand, Beckham called Hart "one of the funniest, smartest guys around." Hart, on the other hand, explained why starring in a campaign with the athlete was extra exciting.
"To be able to make fun of a global icon like David Beckham is a comedian’s dream. I love fashion as much as I love sports, which is why I was so excited to star in David’s new H&M campaign," he said.
If the trailer is any indication of what's to come Sept. 28, we can't wait to see it.
