Sylvester Stallone has said that he contemplated asking David Beckham to appear in his current Rambo movie.

The Hollywood star claimed he knew the footballer would be a success in the US and considered having him appear in a jungle scene in the action film to cash in.

Stallone is quoted as saying: "I knew that David Beckham would be received as a superstar when he came to America.

"Actually, I thought that maybe I should put him in the new Rambo film and chase him around the jungle for a couple of months."
