"I think David Beckham would be a great actor," Cruise recently said in London during the premiere of his latest film, "Knight and Day."

Acting would just add to his already long list of accomplishments, including being recognized as one of the best soccer players of the world, as well as being a model and entrepreneur along side his wife, Victoria.

Even though the 2002 film "Bend It Like Beckham" was made with the English national in mind, Beckham has yet to make it on to the big screen, despite several television appearances.

And even with Cruise's words of encouragement, Beckham has admitted in the past that his acting skills are next to none and feels he is "stiff" in front of the camera.
