World Cup breakout star Erling Haaland brought home a stuffed raccoon.
Tom Holland took a shot, but it just missed the target.
Like many soccer fans, the Spider-Man star is fascinated by the extraordinary figure of Norwegian player Erling Haaland, so much so that he invited him to dinner when he was in Monaco to watch a Formula 1 race in June ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
However, Haaland left his Dutch opponents in the lead.
“And the Odyssey actor spoke about the incident to Jimmy Fallon during a July 13 appearance on The Tonight Show. “It’s just the kind of humbling experience that’s important for an actor.”
The 30-year-old explained: “It’s like, ‘I’ll text him and take him out to dinner.’ He doesn’t even reply. It’s not an excuse, it’s not, ‘I’m busy tonight.’ I play soccer. ” Nada. ”
But even if Holland’s attempted dinner date comes under fire, he will still be able to sit with the 6ft 5in Norwegian giant, although it remains to be seen whether that feeling will be reciprocated after England’s loss to Norway in the World Cup quarter-finals on July 11.
