Tom Holland says Erling Haaland ignored his dinner invitation

Actor Tom Holland revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he sent a direct message to Norway’s football star Erling Haaland after spotting the striker in a hospitality suite at the Monaco Grand Prix. Holland invited Haaland to dinner, but the player never responded. Holland described the lack of reply as a “humbling experience,” noting that Haaland likely did not recognize him and does not watch many movies. He joked that after England’s quarter‑final win over Norway at the 2026 World Cup, Haaland probably would not accept a dinner invite. Haaland later confirmed he ignored the message because he did not know who Holland was. Despite the snub, Holland praised Haaland as an “incredible” player and an “absolute legend.”
