ISLAMABAD – Hollywood actor Tom Holland and football superstar Erling Haaland have become the focus of a viral moment after the Spider-Man star revealed that the Norwegian striker ignored his message.
Tom Holland confirmed that he reached out to Erling Haaland and invited him to dinner, but the Manchester City forward never replied. The surprising incident quickly gained attention online, with many fans initially believing it was only a joke.
However, Holland later confirmed the story himself during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

During his interview, Jimmy Fallon asked Tom Holland whether the reports about his unanswered message to Erling Haaland were true.
The actor confirmed that the incident actually happened and described it as a humbling experience.
“I’ll tell you what, that is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors,” Holland said.
The Spider-Man star explained that he had tried to introduce himself and invite Haaland for dinner. However, the footballer never responded to his message.
Spider-Man Star Says Haaland Left Him on Read
Holland joked that Haaland did not even provide an excuse for not replying.
He said there was no message saying he was busy, playing football, or unavailable. Instead, the actor simply received no response.
The incident happened while Holland was attending the Monaco Grand Prix. According to the actor, he was watching the event while Haaland was nearby in another hospitality area.
Despite being close to each other at the event, the two never ended up meeting.
Will Tom Holland Still Invite Haaland for Dinner?
When Jimmy Fallon asked whether the dinner invitation was still available, Holland responded with humour.

Although the exchange was playful, both Holland and Fallon praised Haaland’s football abilities and described him as one of the best players in the world.
