Nadal poses as pilot, terrifies tourists

Tennis great Rafael Nadal has starred in a hilarious video where he terrifies tourists while posing as a helicopter pilot.

In the campaign for an online Poker company, Nadal uses his bluffing skills to make three groups of passengers believe that he is capable of taking them on a flight around Majorca, the world No.2's home island.

The clip begins with the Spaniard reassuring the sceptical but star-struck couples that he is capable of flying the chopper.

But the fun begins once they are all in the helicopter, with Nadal struggling to turn the helicopter on before asking for the manual as the increasingly nervous passengers look on.

All the remaining trust goes out the window though and the passengers jump out of the helicopter when Nadal starts the chopper and smoke begins billowing from the engine.

"Darling, darling, darling, get out," one passenger says.

Once they’re all back on dry ground, the tennis great gives up to the joke to his amused victims.
