8 Irresistible Film Cameos By Sportsmen

7. David Beckham - Goal!

David Beckham. The man is an international superstar. He has a long and illustrious career as an England midfielder, he has done lots of charity work in Africa campaigning on behalf of UNICEF, and he has been voted Sports Personality of the Year. He even has his own underwear and aftershave range. It is fair to say he is man of many talents. Sadly acting isn€™t one of them. In Goal!, Golden Balls displays his not so golden acting ability. In a sickeningly sweet scene, Becks awkwardly plays the role of football fanboy, sheepishly complimenting Santiago on his good performance on the pitch. Though having the global Beckham brand in your movie will doubtless widen the audience appeal, it certainly won€™t help you win any Oscars.
