Former England captain David Beckham has confirmed that he intends to
carve out a career in acting.
The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid star retired from football in
2013 following a four-month spell at Paris Saint-Germain.
Since then, Beckham has delved into various fashion campaigns and
worked on the launch of his own MLS franchise in Miami, but now, the
40-year-old wants to embark on Hollywood.
The former midfielder, who has already been given a role in Guy
Ritchie’s Knights Of The Roundtable: King Arthur, has claimed that he
is prepared for criticism.
“I am very aware that many sportsmen and other celebrities have turned
their hand to acting and failed,” Beckham told The Times.
“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.”
Beckham was also given a small role in Ritchie’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E..
