But here’s the real deal: Beckham got a $250 million screen test to become a movie star, Scientology poster boy, and Adidas pitch man! But, since this is really a two-for-one deal, Tom Cruise, now head honcho at the United Artist movie studio, promised to cast his wannabe movie star wife, former Spice Girl Victoria “Posh” Beckham, in a few movies as well.
Oh, and for his celebrity charity, he’ll play a little soccer….
NOTE: Hey, more power to you David. Take the money and enjoy Hollywood. But shut up about making soccer as popular in America as it is in Europe…puhleeeeese!
