David Beckham's acting debut in 'Only Fools and Horses' debut has the footie ace pulling of jokes after jokes.

The 38-year-old former sportsperson acted alongside seasoned duo Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst in the one-off special called 'Beckham In Peckham,' the Independent reported.

During the episode, Beckham sportingly sent up his perceived lack of intelligence and happily plays the butt of several 'dipstick' jokes.

At one point, the duo ask Beckham why he's wearing glasses, to which he incorrectly says that help him go "incognitive."

In another, the legendary footballer jokes that he is ready to go out into the high street wearing a sarong if Del Boy improbably asked him to.
