show
Desperate
Housewives
creator
Marc
Cherry
wants
football
heartthrob
David
Beckham
and
singer
Robbie
Williams
to
play
new
neighbours,
reportedly
a
gay
couple,
in
the
series.
Cherry
has
said
the
two
are
'perfect'
to
play
the
roles,
and
would
make
a
'gorgeous'
duo.
The
writer
added
that
the
show
hasn't
had
a
wow
ever
since
Jesse
Metcalfe
left.
"David
and
Robbie
are
perfect
to
star
as
the
new
neighbours'
best
friends;
the
gorgeous,
eccentric
couple
flown
over
from
Blighty
(Britain).
We
haven't
had
that
kind
of
wow
for
the
wives
since
Jesse
Metcalfe
left
and
we
want
it
to
cause
such
a
stir
when
they
turn
out
to
be
together," Contactmusic
quoted
Cherry,
as
saying.
Cherry
said
Beckham
and
William
would
match
each
other's
looks
and
disposition.
"David's
keen,
but
though
the
obvious
choice
was
to
work
with
Tom
Cruise,
we
wanted
someone
who
matches
him
in
height
and
well,
Britishness,
so
Robbie
is
the
one.
They're
both
funny,
game
for
a
laugh
and
ridiculously
macho,
so
it
should
work
wonderfully...
the
English
are
pitch-perfect
for
sending
themselves
up," he
added.
