David Beckham

Former footballer David Beckham says acting is just for fun and he has no intention of making it his new career.

Although the 40-year-old retired soccer star has taken on roles in Guy Ritchie’s movies ‘The Man From UNC.L.E.’ and ‘Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur’, he insisted he has no plans to making acting his full-time career and he is just enjoying the new experience, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Beckham told MrPorter.com: “I saw an article the other day that said this is my new career, and it’s really not. It’s something that I’ve dipped myself into from time to time, but I only did it for a friend, Guy. “I did a small bit in ‘The Man from UNC.L.E.’, and I’ve done little bit more for him in King Arthur. But it’s definitely not my new career, it’s just fun, it’s not something that I’m training to be better at.”
