Tom Holland ha invitato Haaland a uscire, il calciatore lo ha ignorato

Tom Holland has revealed that Norwegian football star Erling Haaland ignored his message inviting him to dinner, according to reports from Croatian media outlet Index.hr. During a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor shared the anecdote with humor, describing the experience as one that “spends you on the ground.” He explained that he had sent Haaland a message, expecting a response, but received nothing, no apology, no acknowledgment, not even a simple excuse such as being busy. Holland recounted the incident during his appearance on Monday, laughing as he described the situation. “I sent him a message, and I’m going to tell you something, it’s one of those experiences that brings you down to earth, and that’s important for actors,” he said. He added that Haaland had not responded at all, leaving him baffled. “Imagine this: ‘I’ll send him a message. I’ll let him know about dinner.’ But nothing came back. No apologies. Not even a message like, ‘I’m busy tonight, playing soccer.’ Absolutely nothing.” The attempt to connect originated from a chance encounter in Monaco. The 29-year-old actor recalled that he had spotted Haaland at the Formula 1 Grand Prix, sitting in the VIP section directly opposite him. Inspired by the moment, Holland decided to reach out. “I thought, maybe I can try my luck and send him a message. I didn’t expect to talk about it live on television. But here we are,” he said. When asked whether he would still like to have dinner with Haaland, Holland joked, “I think he wouldn’t want to have dinner with me after that day,” referencing Norway’s recent defeat to England at the World Cup. Despite the lack of response, Holland praised Haaland, calling him “unbelievable” and “an absolute legend.” Haaland, who has become one of the most talked-about figures in global sports, has been a standout performer at the 2026 World Cup. Known for his incredible goal-scoring ability, he has also captured public attention for his distinctive hairstyle, often referred to as the “Viking style,” and his extravagant fashion choices, including a collection of Birkin bags worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Last month, Hollywood actor Channing Tatum even dressed up as Haaland, joining fans wearing the player’s jersey and long blue hair. Haaland is known for his laid-back and playful personality, which contrasts sharply with his imposing presence on the field and his reputation as a prolific goalscorer. His charm and charisma have made him a fan favorite both on and off the pitch, further cementing his status as one of the most influential athletes of the modern era.
