Jack O'Connell may have won the BAFTA Rising Star Award last night (February 8) but it seems he couldn’t keep his eyes off David Beckham!

We caught up with the Unbroken actor after he accepted the coveted gong from James McAvoy - with O’Connell gushing over how handsome the former footballer is.

When asked about his win, the 24-year old said: "It was phenomenal, yeah. I spent a lot of time quite anxious and hopeful that it would go my way and now to find that it has...

“Yeah, I was overwhelmed. And then I made eye contact with (David) Beckham half way through my speech and I melted.”

The former Skins star added: “He's f*cking good looking isn't he? He's a good looking man that one."

You're not wrong there Jack! Watch highlights from this year's ceremony below:
