Roger Federer is King Arthur

Tennis champ Roger Federer portrays King Arthur in this Annie Leibovitz creation. The image is one of three unveiled today to celebrate Disney Parks’ “Year of a Million Dreams.” Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida commissioned Leibovitz to create images featuring international celebrities in fairy tale settings.

Federer is currently ranked World No. 1 since February 2, 2004 for a record 196 consecutive weeks.

Everytime I see Roger on TV I drool! Australia is currently running a razor ad with Roger and Tiger Woods (and some other guy I don’t know) and every time I see Roger I go “Oh, I’d like to do something to you Roger and it ain’t shaving.”!!

Roger is the greatest tennis player in the world, it’s only fitting he should portray one of the greatest kings…. He’s soo good!
