It has long been known that David Beckham's good looks and style have made him a gay icon. But his latest fan is a man you'd expect to be learning Shakespeare lines rather than appreciating the beauty of the English football captain.

Sir Ian McKellen - who played Gandalf in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy - met Becks backstage at Live 8 and was full of praise for him. "David Beckham is a beautiful man. He's got a nice smile. I spoke to him at a party. He's a gay icon and I know he likes it," the openly gay actor said.

A source told The Sun that David is thrilled by his big gay following. "David was really flattered when Ian told him how popular he is. "David's a big Lord Of The Rings fan so it meant a lot to him. Ian thought David was absolutely charming," the source revealed.
