Tom Holland revealed on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that he attempted to connect with Norway soccer star Erling Haaland by sending him a direct message suggesting they "hang out," but Haaland never responded. Holland explained that he got the idea after seeing Haaland at the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix. The actor humorously described the non-response as a "humbling experience" for an actor, noting that Haaland likely had "no idea" who he was and thought he was "a random person." Despite the snub, Holland praised Haaland as "incredible" and "an absolute legend." When asked if he would still have dinner with the athlete, Holland joked that he didn't think Haaland would want to after Norway's recent World Cup loss to England. The article also notes Haaland's status as a breakout star of the 2026 World Cup, known for his "Viking Flow" haircut, Birkin bag collection, and contrasting soft personality.
