Not content with a career as a football and being half of one of the world's biggest power couples, David Beckham has decided he's going to give this whole acting lark a try. He's clearly been hanging out with Tom Cruise too long.

Beckham said in an interview with The Times; “I am very aware that many sportsmen and other celebrities have turned their hand to acting and failed. I know that it is a tough profession, where you need a huge amount of skill and discipline, and I wouldn’t want to push myself forward too soon, without learning more about it, and doing a lot more practice. But what I have done so far, I have loved. I can deal with most things. I am a well-known person, so I have got used to criticism."

The former footballer is already making his way to our screens too with a cameo in Guy Ritchie's upcoming movie Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur. He described it as 'nerve-racking but he was happy that it had all gone 'really well'.

He said, “I had 13 lines and practiced a huge amount beforehand. Guy had someone come and rehearse with me, and I did that an hour every day in the build-up."

Sounds like he is pretty dedicated anyways, although can't imagine there will be an Oscar on the cards any time soon.

Telling you, NOTIONS.
