David Beckham shares Modern Family clip with Courteney Cox

David Beckham has shared a video of his appearance on Modern Family alongside Friends star, Courteney Cox. However, many weren’t impressed with his acting skills.

David Beckham has shared his appearance in TV hit Modern Family, posting a clip where he acts alongside Friends legend Courteney Cox.

The Sun reports that the 44-year-old ex-footballer uploaded a clip where they turn up to see a butler played by Extras star Stephen Merchant.

“Higgins, so myself and Courteney are expecting a bowling instructor. Would you have him meet us downstairs at the bowling alley please?” Beckham asks.

He replies: “You and Miss Cox getting an edge for this weekend’s celebrity bowlathon?”

Turning to David, she says: “Yeah, a dollar for each of the 18 pins that you knocked down. Thanks to you, Doctors Without Borders are Doctors Without Malaria Pills.”

He replies coldly: “Bit harsh.”

However, fans were not exactly bowled over with Beckham’s acting, with one remarking: “Stick to being good looking.”

Another wrote: “Acting skills very debatable” while a third mocked his delivery posting: “So … Myself … And … Courtney … Are … Expecting … A … Bowling … Instructioner.”

Beckham posted the clip writing: “So much fun filming on one of my favourite shows #modernfamily with @courteneycoxofficial and @stephenmerchant” before telling US viewers to look out for the show this week.

Backstage pictures show another scene where he is crowded into a hot tub with the show’s Mitchell and Cam, played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.

It’s not the first time David’s acting abilities have come under scrutiny – he also appeared in pal Guy Ritchie’s film King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword.

It saw the former England captain speaking in the character of his Battleguard swordsman Trigger.

One viewer wrote: “The only thing I took away from King Arthur is that David Beckham can’t act. And I think I already knew that.”

It's a lot of fun when the Beckham family comes to visit #ModernFamily!
