AceShowbiz - Charlie Hunnam reveals he had a crush on David Beckham. In an interview with MR PORTER for this week's issue, the 36-year-old actor admits that he developed "a little bit of a crush" with the 41-year-old former soccer player when they worked together on "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword".

"David Beckham asked me my opinion a few times on different bits and bobs," Hunnam shares. "I don't know if it was any help or not, but I was really blown away," he continues. "It became very clear why and how Beckham's become the phenomenon that he has. Because he showed up determined to do a good job."

"He'd worked with a dialect coach, and maybe an acting coach. I sort of anticipated, well, he's a superstar," the King Arthur depicter says. "This is not his primary or even his secondary focus; this is just a bit of a giggle for him. But that work ethic just shone through."

"And that, combined with him just being humble and kind and accessible, was very endearing," according to the British actor. He adds, "I'm not a football man, so upfront, I didn't really have a strong feeling one or way or another." He then admits, "But by the time he left, I had a little bit of a crush on him. He was pretty f**king cool."

Beckham has a cameo appearance in "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword", which is coming to U.S. theaters on May 17. The Guy Ritchie-directed movie also stars Jude Law as Vortigern, Eric Bana as Uther Pendragon, Annabelle Wallis as Maid Maggie, and "Game of Thrones" actor Aidan Gillen as Goosefat Bill Wilson.
