Former England football captain David Beckham has revealed that he is glad he chose not to become an actor because he doesn't think he's good enough to compete with those already in the industry.
David Beckham is pleased he scrapped his acting ambitions.
The 39-year-old retired sports star was previously said to have been receiving acting tips from his friend Tom Cruise, but he now admits he'd never be able to reach a good enough standard to become a Hollywood star.
Speaking at the BAFTA Awards at London's Royal Opera House, he is quoted by the Metro newspaper as saying: ''I have done a few things over the last 15 years, but nothing of these standards. I will keep it at that, I think.''
Beckham also revealed that despite being a huge name in his own right, he still gets starstruck.
He explained: ''I do get excited. I just bumped into Benedict [Cumberbatch]. He's a great guy. I have met him a few times over the last six months. It's great to be here and see so many talented people.''
Beckham - who has kids Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, and three-year-old Harper with his wife Victoria - also revealed his film tastes have had to evolve since becoming a dad.

''But we've watched the odd errr ... I was going to say adult movie, obviously not, but not kids movies ...
'''Paddington', 'Lego Movie', me and Victoria watched 'The Theory of Everything' with Eddie [Redmayne] in it, he's unbelievable.''
