Beckham was speaking at the premiere of O'Sullivan's new film on Tuesday night.
The seven-time world champion is the subject of a new Amazon Prime Video documentary titled Ronnie O'Sullivan: The Edge of Everything.
"Firstly, it’s a huge privilege to have been part of this," Beckham, who is an executive producer on the film, said at the premiere.
"I was always a fan of Ronnie. I grew up in the East End of London and when I wasn’t playing football, I was playing snooker.
"I used to go up to the snooker hall in Chingford every other day when I wasn’t playing football.
"Then when my dad was playing football on the weekends, I’d end up playing snooker in the bar. That was something I grew up on.
"I was able to spend a little time with Ronnie over the years. One of my favourite nights as a Manchester United player, we’d played in London and I think we went out for a couple of beers and I ended up back at Ronnie’s house.
"His mum was making a cup of tea for us and we had a few frames. That was one of my favourite nights as a Manchester United player because I got to spend a few hours with Ronnie and get to know him.
"To be able to make this film is very special because it’s not just about him as a snooker player. It’s about him and his life.
"He is a special person but to watch him play is just beautiful.
"With Ronnie, and the same with me, my dad was hard on me as a kid. But that’s what made me have the career that I had.
"I always want to make things with people that I admire and I’ve always admired Ronnie."
