Could
40-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid
star soccer player David Beckham be the next James
Bond?
Beckham
has been trying out his acting chops recently, appearing
alongside Harvey Keitel in a short film called Outlaws
and speaking a few lines in a Guy Ritchie film, Knights
of the Roundtable.
As
for a his future in a Bond role, he hasn’t ruled
it out, according to a British tabloid report that
has been widely repeated.
At
any rate, it appears Beckham may have a few more years
to develop his acting. Current Bond actor Daniel Craig,
47, had been rumored to be ready to hang up his 007
identity, but recent reports indicate he will continue
playing Bond until 2020. That means one more movie
after Spectre, which will be released in the United
States in November 2015.
