Ashley
Jensen Star Struck After Victoria Beckham Encounter on Ugly Betty Set
11/27/07
Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen was left open-mouthed after meeting David
Beckham and his pop star wife Victoria Beckham on the set of the hit
comedy.
The 38-year-old and fellow Scottish actor Derek Riddell, who plays her
husband Stuart in the series, were overwhelmed when the English soccer
star arrived to watch the Spice Girl film her cameo as Wilhelmina Slater's
bridesmaid on the show.
But the actress admits she was so star-struck by the superstar couple,
she had trouble holding a conversation with either Beckham.
She says, "Derek and I were just like, 'Should I go and speak to
David Beckham?' We're like, 'All right.' So we went out and we're like,
'David, yeah.
How is it going in L.A.?' He's like, 'Yeah, yeah, I like it.'
"Then we spoke to Victoria, 'How are you getting on, Victoria?'
She's like, 'Oh, yeah, I love it here.' I'm like, 'How's the driving
coming along?' She's like, 'Yeah, you know, it's coming along.' And Derek
and I were looking at each other, going, 'Yeah, David
Beckham.'"
