David Beckham in talks to star in career documentary

David Beckham is in talks for a documentary series about his life.

The retired soccer star has been inspired by Michael Jordan's Netflix film 'The Last Dance' and his TV firm Studio 99 - who will produce the programme - are already in talks with both the streaming giant and rivals Amazon about the rights to the project.

The documentary will largely focus on the 45-year-old star's life in the wake of his retirement and his bid to create a new MLS side in Miami, Florida, but will also incorporate archive footage and "personal" moments from his marriage to Victoria Beckham, with whom he has four children.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "It's something David is excited about and has wanted to do for a while. The film will feature new content and archive footage.

"It's going to be about David's life post-football, especially the creation of his new team in Miami, but will have some personal content too.

"Interest in his life and family is huge.

"Everyone has high hopes for this."
