Movie veteran Elliott Gould has designed a new line of Nike bags under his real name, Elliot Goldstein.
The M*A*S*H star has been wearing Nike products for years - and now the sportswear giants have decide to honour his commitment by giving him his very own bag line.
And the thrilled star, who turns 70 this summer decided to use the name he was born with for the honour.
He says, "Sometimes Nike will give some of their products to me.
I don't endorse them, there's no business and they just asked me if I wanted to design a bag.
"The bag I designed is the Elliot Goldstein 38 - the year I was born.
It's just a shlepping bag. It's a bag to carry my gym stuff in."
But Gould admits his new bag is far from perfect: "One of the zippers broke right away.
It's a one of a kind bag just like me."

At the SDC awards dinner on Friday 18 April in Bradford, Danielle Lewis - a 2nd year fashion student at SDC Patron College Colchester School of Art & Design - was crowned the winner of the global design competition and the recipient of the SDC Colour Design Award 2008.
Her prize was 1000 British pounds, plus the Veronica Bell Award trophy, and design software for her college donated by Lectra.
As part of the grand final, all 13 finalists from around the globe were invited to Bradford and Malcolm Campbell, chairman of the judging panel comments, "The overall standard of work was outstanding, and it was a pleasure not only to view the artistic and colourful presentations, but to talk to all the students about their work, their inspirations and their dreams for the future, and to be inspired myself by each and every one of them."
With eco-conscious fabric choices vs. imagery of the iconic woman, Danielle's winning entry was rich with colour, full of 1970s silhouettes and Grecian draping, and a gallery of her work - plus the designs of all the other finalists - will soon be available in the SDC competition gallery.

Australian designers are hoping to make further inroads into the newest booming Asian market with several Chinese buyers arriving for Australian Fashion Week in Sydney.
Austrade senior export adviser Lucy Coward said Australian fashion was making its presence felt in China but there was still a long way to go.
"The good news is buyers from the Guangxi Dream Island Group, consisting of eight high-end department stores in China, are eager to learn more through visits to Australia and will attend Rosemount Australian Fashion Week in Sydney next week," Ms Coward said.
"This is an exciting opportunity for our designers as these buyers could attend any high profile fashion event in the world and yet, they have chosen to come to Australia," she said in a statement.
