According to Giorgio Armani, David Beckham came to America for more than just a chance to play soccer with the Los Angeles Galaxy. The designer claimed Becks would rather act than play soccer. Surprising, Armani believes he actually has the chops to pull off an acting career.

“If (reports that the deal is worth $250 million) are true, then he has done the right thing. And I think he wants to be an actor, not a footballer,” Armani, who has designed the England soccer team’s outfits in recent years, told reporters on the sidelines of Milan’s fashion shows.

“He is a very handsome man and his football career could be nearing an end,” he said. “Also look at his wife…I saw her at Tom Cruise’s wedding and she is a very bubbly lady,” he said.

Yeah, he’s pretty, but have you ever heard homeboy talk? He sounds like a mealy-mouthed ghetto rat. I don’t see the acting thing happening, with the exception of a few Zoolander-esque cameo appearances.
