In an interview with MR PORTER for this week's issue, the 36-year-old actor praised Beckham, saying his "work ethic just shone throughout the film", reported AceShowbiz.
"David Beckham asked me my opinion a few times on different bits and bobs. I don't know if it was any help or not, but I was really blown away. It became very clear why and how Beckham's become the phenomenon that he has. Because he showed up determined to do a good job.
He adds, "And that, combined with him just being humble and kind and accessible, was very endearing. I'm not a football man, so upfront, I didn't really have a strong feeling one or way or another. But by the time he left, I had a little bit of a crush on him. He was pretty cool."
Beckham has a cameo appearance in "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword", which is coming to the US theaters on May 17.
