Norway soccer superstar Erling Haaland\u00a0is making it up to Tom Holland after snubbing the actor\u2019s invite to \u201chang out.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

After the \u201cTonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d posted a clip<\/a> of Holland recounting the diss during his Monday night appearance, the athlete took to the comments section to extend an invite of his own. <\/p>\n

On Monday, the \u201cOdyssey\u201d star confirmed that his DM to Haaland went unanswered as the striker had \u201cno idea\u201d who he was and thought he was \u201ca random person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes [I DM\u2019d him], and I\u2019ll tell you what. That is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors,\u201d Holland jokingly told Fallon.<\/p>\n

The actor, 29, got the idea to reach out to Haaland, 25, after seeing him at the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix last month, sitting in a suite across from him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought I\u2019d shoot my shot, send him a text. I never imagined I\u2019d talk about it on live television. But here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holland took the snub on the chin though, and still hailed Haaland as \u201cincredible\u201d and \u201can absolute legend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though Norway got eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, Haaland continues to make headlines.<\/p>\n

Not only is he known for his moves on the field, Haaland has also become a viral sensation for his impressive Birkin bag collection<\/a> and signature \u201cViking Flow\u201d haircut.<\/p>\n

In one viral moment, Haaland was pictured returning to his homeland with a taxidermied raccoon in tow following Norway\u2019s disappointing loss to England last week. <\/p>\n

Fans can\u2019t get over his soft and goofy personality, which is a stark contrast from his towering frame and \u201cgoalscoring machine\u201d ways.<\/p>\n
