AceShowbiz - The Olympic Games fever is catching almost everyone and David Beckham wants to get involved in the famous world's sports feast. Well known as a soccer stud, he's making his best attempt to be counted among people who give contribution to the celebrated event, planning to make a special appearance on the top of one of London buses and kick a football into the crowd at the closing ceremony for the Beijing Olympics.
British in nationality, the soccer stud and father of three young boys will help close out the 2008 Beijing Olympics as a representative for his main land Britain which capital city, London, is slated to host the next summer Olympics in 2012. Lending a helping hand to mark the transition, David reportedly will stand at the side of London Mayor Boris Johnson to receive the flag from International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge.
"David is going to be in the surprise finale. They always have a segment to do the handover, to showcase the next city to host the Olympics," a source told People magazine. "He was very involved in the London bid to get it, and as a Londoner he is incredibly proud that the Olympics will be in London. He is passionate about it and looking forward to the games in 2012," the source added.
David himself has yet confirmed on him being tapped to take part on the closing ceremony of the major international multi-sport event, which is being held in Beijing from August 8 to August 24. But should the report is to be believed, he will join Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and pop star Leona Lewis, both of whom have been tapped to sing a duet during the show, which will also feature hundreds of dancers performing ballet and break-dancing.
