David Beckham Appears In A Cameo In New “King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword” Film


A scar-faced, broken-nosed David Beckham appears in a cameo in Warner Bros. Pictures’ “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword”, in Philippine cinemas May 17, 2017.
The superstar ex-footballer plays one of King Vortigern’s (Jude Law) Blacklegs standing guard over the proceedings around the mystical, powerful sword Excalibur.

While Beckham remains new to the world of acting, he humbly accepted the probability of criticism over his role saying, “I am very aware that many sportsmen and other celebrities have turned their hand to acting and failed. I know that it is a tough profession, where you need a huge amount of skill and discipline, and I wouldn’t want to push myself forward too soon, without learning more about it, and doing a lot more practice.”
It’s no secret that Beckham and British director Guy Ritchie are great friends. The pair has worked together on commercials that promoted the sporting legend’s product lines for H&M and Haig Club whiskey, while Beckham also had a cameo in Ritchie’s last film, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Directed by Guy Ritchie, “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” stars Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou, Aidan Gillen, Oscar nominee Jude Law, and Eric Bana. Ritchie directs the film from a screenplay by Joby Harold and Guy Ritchie & Lionel Wigram, story by Joby Harold.
The bold new story introduces a streetwise young Arthur who runs the back alleys of Londonium with his gang, unaware of the life he was born for until he grasps hold of the sword Excalibur and with it, his future. Instantly challenged by the power of Excalibur, Arthur is forced to make some hard choices.  Throwing in with the Resistance and a mysterious young woman named Guinevere, he must learn to master the sword, face down his demons and unite the people to defeat the tyrant Vortigern, who stole his crown and murdered his parents, and become King.
Opening across the Philippines on May 17, “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
