When the 39-year-old was asked what he and wife Victoria, 40, like to watch in their spare time, the red carpet interview almost took an X-rated turn.
He said: “The majority of the films we get to watch for the last 15 years have been kids movies.
“We’ve watch the odd, er, I was going to say adult movies then, obviously not adult movies, but not kids movies.”
The dad-of-four, realising the slip-up, simply flashed a cheeky smile, before adding: “Paddington, Lego Movie, me and Victoria watched The Theory of Everything with Eddie [Redmayne] in it, he’s unbelievable.”
Retired footballer David was asked whether he’d consider a film career, but he’s not hoping to win a BAFTA himself anytime soon.
He told the Metro: “I have done a few things over the last 15 years, but nothing of these standards. I will keep it to that, I think.”
Despite being part of one of the most famous families in the world, David insisted he still gets excited when meeting celebrities.
He said: “I do get excited. I just bumped into Benedict [Cumberbatch]. He’s a great guy. I have meet him a few times over the last six months. It’s great to be here and see so many talented people.”
Meanwhile David recently admitted he’s not bothered about turning 40. He’ll celebrate the milestone birthday in May and he’s looking forward to it.
He told E! news: “I’m not worried about turning 40. People keep turning around and saying, ‘You’re turning 40 – how do you feel?’ And I’m like, ‘I feel fine. I’m looking forward to it.’
“I just don’t want a big party because I don’t like that kind of attention, but I’ll do a quiet dinner with friends.”
