He’s yet to confirm his next move after retiring from professional football earlier this year.

But it seems that David Beckham could be launching a career as an actor as he is reportedly considering a role in new spy thriller The Secret Service.

According to sources, he has been written a part in Matthew Vaughn’s new film and is on the brink of signing up to play a villain.

‘Becks was asked by Colin Firth if he’d like to be in the movie but he is yet to fully commit,’ a source told The Sun.

The footballer has reportedly been bombarded with scripts since he announced his retirement from football, but is yet to make any firm decisions.

But while he seems uncertain about the move, industry professionals are behind him, realising that his star status could be a big audience draw.

And it seems that David’s other half Victoria is also on baord with her husband breaking into the film industry, telling Glamour: ‘Sure, why not… I’ve been in Spice World and that was a great performance.’
