It has been said that the star of the Mission: Impossible Tom Cruise is willing to help the former English professional footballer - David Beckham to "fulfill his dreams" of becoming the next 007 agent.
The American actor and filmmaker Tom Cruise has been in the movie business for more than three decades, and naturally is believed to be in the best position to coach his friend Beckham to fulfill his dream role as the next James Bond. After all, Cruise himself has played the part of the agent in the Mission Impossible movies.
Cruise considers the football star as a loyal and trusted friend, and thinks his great personality and charisma will make him suitable for the role of the agent. He is very willing to help his friend prepare for the role.
David Beckham has confirmed in an earlier interview that he is playing a part for Guy Ritchie's Knights of the Roundtable, which is slated to be released next year. But it seems that Beckham is unwilling and hesitant to make the shift from sport to the movies.
An insider said, "David resisted at first, but over time has become more comfortable with acting," the insider continued. "Tom has been advising him on learning dialogue and the methods of talking to fellow actors. It is baby steps, but vital for Becks to get his experience." the insider added, "Tom has all the perfect ingredients to advise Becks on what it takes to play a secret agent having done the Mission Impossible franchise," "His connections to the movie big wigs in Hollywood also aid Becks' chances."
David Beckham said that he's aware that many sportsmen and other celebrities that took their chance on acting apparently failed. Beckham also said that acting is a tough profession - where an actor needs a huge amount of skill and discipline.
