David BeckhamHe’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.’

b9David Beckham has retired from football, bringing an end to a glittering career on the field.

Since his debut for Manchester United two decades ago, the 38-year-old has emerged as arguably the most iconic sportsman of his generation, captaining his country, collecting 115 caps, and celebrated as a champion in four different countries – the only British footballer in history to do so.

Despite the offer of an extended one-year deal at Paris Saint-German, the 38-year-old has played his last game, bowing out on a high after helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side win the French title for the first time in 19 years.

When approached for comment by Sportsmail, Beckham’s representative was today unavailable.

The trailblazing midfielder –  who played for some of the biggest clubs in the world such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Los Angeles Galaxy – is now set to continue his ambassadorial duties with a variety of organisations, which include Sky Sports, adidas, Unicef and promoting football in China.

Having relocated from LA in January, Beckham is expected to set up a permanent base in London with his wife Victoria and children, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

His vast fortune of an estimated £165million comfortably makes him the richest athlete ever in British sport, with a host of lucrative sponsorship deals and salary payments over the last decade amassing his wealth.
