David Beckham is taking another shot at comedy - after being offered a guest slot on Saturday Night Live.
Producers usually reserve places on the leading US sketch show for established comics. But they approached the LA Galaxy star after seeing his hilarious stint on the Ellen DeGeneres Show last week.
It is a huge coup for Becks, 35, as he follows in the footsteps of celebs including Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks and Madonna.
He has agreed provisionally to film an episode early next year. A source said: "People often underestimate David's wry sense of humour and faultless natural timing.
"But he's actually very funny and has no problem poking fun at himself. It's a huge deal for David and will make him an even bigger star Stateside than he already is. His dream now is to record a cameo in Only Fools And Horses - it's his ultimate comedic fantasy."
Becks received rave reviews for his Ellen DeGeneres appearance.
