He recently revealed that he hopes a career on the silver screen is calling.
But after fans took to Twitter to urge the
former footballer to go from shirt number 7 to 007, the 40-year-old was
said to be ‘considering’ the opportunity to take on the role of James
Bond.
The Daily Star reported that Beckham was
taking the encouragement to act as Daniel Craig’s next replacement very
seriously, having previously successfully turned his career from sport
to fashion and modelling but a representative has since denied the
claims.
A spokesperson confirmed to MailOnline on
Monday that David was not planning to step into the action heroes shoes
any time soon, despite recently expressing his interest in acting.
David recently announced that he was
prepared for any criticism levelled at him for his forthcoming part in
Guy Ritchie’s Knight Of The Roundtable – due out next summer.
And the 40-year-old was quickly cheered on by fans who believed he was the ‘perfect’ man to take on the role of 007 next.
Although current Bond Daniel Craig – a
fellow Brit – has breathed life into Ian Fleming’s famous spy, his time
in the current role is coming to an end.
One devoted fan enthusiastically tweeted
to Becks: ‘People [are] talking about Idris Elba. But for me, David
Beckham is the perfect role to be a James Bond 007. And he is British
[sic].’
While another believer in David’s budding
drama career wrote: ‘Wouldn’t it be awesome if David Beckham was the
next James Bond [sic].’
One of Hollywood’s biggest names, Guy
Ritchie, is known to have confidence in David’s abilities but the
sportsman is fully aware that he may face criticism as he trades sport
for the big screen.
‘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.
