Charlie Hunnam and Guy Ritchie don't mind David Beckham stealing their King Arthur publicity thunder. Far from it.

During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, Hunnam and Ritchie spoke about working with the legendary footballer -- and they couldn't sing his praises enough.

"I thought he was terrific," says Hunnam in the clip above. "Not only just a kind, lovely, humble fella, but showed up so determined to do a good job.

"I mean he's not an actor and I don't think has any real aspiration to be an actor, but I think he'd hired an acting coach and he was so prepared and sort of nervous and determined -- and I thought 'Wow, good for you David Beckham'."
