Beckham glad he's not an actor

Retired English footballer David Beckham says he's happy that he isn't an actor!

He feels he wouldn't have reached out to the standards of the big movie stars.

"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 told Metro newspaper at the BAFTA Awards Sunday, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Despite his glittering career on the football field, the 39-year-old still gets star-struck.

"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."
