Two years have passed since David Beckham left the Great Sports. During this time, the footballer showed himself in the fashion world and in business, and in charity. However, David's fans did not leave hopes that sooner or later they will see their idol on the big screen and, apparently, waited: Beckham announced a desire to become an actor.
The athlete's filmmaker will be held next year in the picture of Guy Richie "Round Table Knights: King Arthur." The famous director and a close friend of David gave a football player a small role with the words. Beckham embodied on the screen the image of a ridiculous knight with blackened teeth. "I have long known Guy and trust him. He would never take me to his film if I thought that I would not cope, "says David. - I have thirteen replicas in the picture. I rehearsed for a long time. Guy hired a special man who was engaged with me on the hour every day. Nevertheless, during the filming, I was very worried. But got great pleasure. Sport forced my heart beat more often. Acting game too. "
At the same time, Beckham is well aware of the upcoming difficulties. "I know that this is a difficult profession that requires skill and discipline. And therefore, before moving on, I first want to learn and practice well, - a football player admits. - I know that many athletes tried to become actors, but failed. I can handle many. I am a well-known person, so I'm not used to criticism. "
And, according to rumors, Beckham's candidacy is already considered as a replacement of Daniel Craig as James Bond. However, the authors of Bondiana and David himself from commenting on this subject still refrain.
