“Yeah, I said ‘I’m gonna marry that girl,’” Beckham replied.

From the Beckhams to bringing sexy back, Walters gets up close and sometimes very personal with her picks for her “10 Most Fascinating People of 2007.”

“Did you think, ‘I want to go to bed with her,’ or did you think ‘I want her to be the mother of my children?’ Was it love or was it lust?” Walters continued to probe Beckham.

“I think it was a bit of both,” he said.

“You should say lust,” Posh chimed in.

“Well it’s probably lust then,” he said laughing.

While strolling the Beckham’s backyard, with its infinity pool, it appeared the family has settled into American life, permanently.

“I think it’s a great place, we’re probably the happiest we’ve been as a family. It’s great. We love it. What’s not to like?” Posh stated.

“Grey’s Anatomy’s” Katherine Heigl has also found true love, and she told Walters about how she flipped for fiance, musician Josh Kelley.

“I thought he was the sexiest man I’ve ever met in my life and within five weeks I was madly in love with him and within a year I was engaged,” Heigl told Walters.

But there is also a secret side to the sexy star.

“She also had a very personal tragedy in her family which we talk about, which changed her life,” Walters told Access.

As for Justin Timberlake, he found himself at kind of at a loss when Walters popped a particular musical question.

“Bringing ‘Sexy Back’ – Where did it go?” Walters asked Timberlake.

“I have no earthly idea,” he laughed.

And Walters’ No. 1 pick for “Most Fascinating” person? We can tell you it’s a woman from somewhere other than the U.S.

“When you see it on ‘10 Most Fascinating People’ you will say, ‘Oh, of course!’ I don’t know why nobody has guessed it,” Walters said.
