It seems David Beckham is a man of many talents.

The former footballer, who makes a cameo as the projectionist in Guy Ritchie’s new film – The Man From U.N.C.L.E. – has been given a thumbs up from the film-maker – who believes David has a promising career as an actor.

Guy and star Henry Cavill also had all this stuff to say about their latest spy movie.

The ex-England player also has a role in Knights Of The Round Table: King Arthur, which Guy directs, despite the sportsman previously saying he is “too stiff” for the big screen.

“We’ve put him in Arthur, which we’ve just finished, and he was fabulous in that,” said Guy at the UK debut of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. “He’s got a bigger role in that. We’ll go steadily with David and see where that goes. He does enjoy it (acting).”

Meanwhile, the 46-year-old director and model wife Jacqui made their first red carpet appearance as Mr and Mrs Ritchie at Somerset House in London since they married in a three-day wedding extravaganza at their Wiltshire home on July 30.

The couple showed they were still enjoying the honeymoon phase as they posed for photos on two cream Vespas.

Guy, who said he has “just about recovered”, joked about bringing his directing discipline to the nuptials, saying: “It’s much easier for me to get my head around things if I see them as films.”

The Man From U.N.C.L.E., based on the original 60s show, stars Superman actor Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer in the spy roles originally played by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum.

“You don’t think about them doing it, just you, and you work closely with your director and co-stars and build a character,” Henry said.

“It’s not necessarily about putting your own stamp on it, it’s about doing a job and it’s a new beginning so I haven’t got enough to compare it to.”

The 32-year-old, best known for playing Superman in Man Of Steel, admitted he hasn’t watched the TV show, saying: “I didn’t see the original series. I still haven’t because I asked Guy and he said no.”

Hugh Grant and Alicia Vikander also star in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which opens in UK cinemas on August 14.
