Bill Clinton is reportedly set to become the face of a men's clothing brand based in China.

The former US president will be paid around £1.3million to model for Fapai, in Wenzhou, eastern China.

According to Taiwan's United Daily News, Fapai chairman Peng Xing has been trying to enlist Clinton's endorsement for the last three years by sending him a selection of suits, shirts, ties and shoes.

Clinton, who was previously paid $400,000 to pose for Jiannanchun Co - an alcoholic drink made from distilled rice, will appear in the adverts from next year, reports Vogue.com.

The company, which launched in 1997, has over 300 stores across Italy, France, Japan, Hong Kong and China.
