David Beckham 'considering' playing James Bond in next 007 blockbuster

David Beckham is reportedly being lined up to play James Bond. According to a report in the Daily Star, the 40-year-old is seriously considering taking on the iconic role as Daniel Craig's contract approaches its expiration date.

 

The father of four is said to have started thinking about putting himself forward for the part after being encouraged to do so by fans. Of course, this news will undoubtedly come as no surprise to David's loyal army of followers as the football legend has made no secret of his plans to give acting a go.

After featuring in a Christmas special of Only Fools And Horses last year, the star has most recently landed himself a speaking role in a movie directed by Guy Ritchie .
