Oct 18, 2006, 15:45 GMT
Tom Cruise wants to turn soccer idol David Beckham into a Hollywood star.
The 'Mission: Impossible' actor is convinced Beckham could be a huge movie star and is desperate to star in a film with him.
He is quoted as saying: "The guy is so multi-talented and I would welcome the chance to work with him on a movie."
Cruise admits he would love to play a heroic character and cast the former England captain Beckham - affectionately called 'Goldenballs' by his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria - as the villain.
He added: "He would make a great baddie, playing against type. It would be a sure fire box office hit."
Beckham, who played himself in the soccer drama 'Goal!', has previously admitted he would relish landing a fictional part in a movie.
He said: "I would love to get into acting. But I only want roles that I think would suit me."
It was recently revealed that Cruise was interested in making a movie about Beckham's meteoric rise to fame.
It was reported his fiancée Katie Holmes was being lined up to play Victoria.
