(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Will Ferrell has claimed that he would like to have as many tattoos as David Beckham.

The 43-year-old comedy actor is famed for his roles in hit movies such as Blades of Glory, Anchorman and Elf, although he isnt known for having a love of inkings.

Meanwhile, British soccer star David famously has numerous pieces of body art, and Will has revealed he is keen to emulate the look. As well as being appreciative of Davids many tattoos, Will has a great deal of respect for the sports player as a person.

I want as many tattoos as David Beckham, Will told a BBC radio show. I met him once, he seems very pleasant.

Will claims to already have three tattoos, including one which apparently covers his entire back. The funnyman says that the inkings slogan represents his trendy image.

Ive got a tattoo the length of my back that says Down wid it, he teased.

As well as discussing David Beckham, Will also mentioned his Megamind co-star Brad Pitt. The pair both provided voices for the animated film about a super-villain who finds life becomes pointless after he defeats his nemesis, Metro Man. Will praised Brad, saying he and the heartthrob both have animal charisma. (C) Cover Media
