Watch: David Beckham ‘speaks’ in nine languages in new malaria campaign

He is then given the voices of men and women from around the world as it is revealed the disease – which is carried by mosquitoes – has “killed half the people who ever lived” and “still kills a child every two minutes”.

Beckham ends the film in English, saying: “Speak up and say “malaria must die”. ‘One voice can be powerful, but all of our voices together? Then they will have to listen.”

In a behind-the-scenes video, Beckham added: “It’s great to be involved in something where the tech side of our lives and our world get involved, to be one voice of many different people.”

Beckham is a founding member of Malaria No More’s UK leadership council.
