Tom Cruise: I want David Beckham to star in a film with me

Tom reckons David would make a great leading man

David Beckham isn't sure if an acting career is for him

At the age of 36, David Beckham knows he'll have to hang up his football boots at some point - but pal Tom Cruise already has a new career lined up for him - acting.

Tom, 49, says he'd be thrilled to star opposite the sportsman in a Hollywood blockbuster.

'I'd love to do action movies with Beckham,' Tom tells the Daily Mirror.

'He would be great, he could kick ass.'

But it looks like David - who's had cameos in football flicks Goal! and Goal II - is unlikely to take Tom up on his offer.

The dad of 4 admits he's not talented enough to make it on the silver screen.

‘I've had some offers but I'm not interested,' says David, 35.

‘I'm a terrible actor, I did a bit in Goal! playing myself and I looked rigid.'
