Erling Haaland has finally accepted Tom Holland’s invitation to have dinner together.
The Odyssey star, 30, had got in touch with the Norwegian footballer, 25, to see if he wanted to hang out, but he didn’t even get a response to his social media DM.
But after a video of Tom retelling the story of how he was snubbed on Jimmy Fallon this week went viral, Erling told Tom to ‘just name the place’.
He wrote in the comment section: ‘Dinner invitation accepted @tomholland2013. A little late. Just name the place!’
Appearing on The Tonight Show, the host read out a post he’d seen on X which read: ‘Erling Haaland had no idea who Tom Holland was when he DM’d him and asked to hang out.
‘He doesn’t watch movies, so he thought he was a random person.’

Jimmy then asked Tom if he did really DM Erling to which he replied: ‘Yes, and I tell you what, that is, that is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors.
‘You know, you’ll be like, “I’ll text him, I’ll take him to dinner,” not even a response, not an excuse, not “I’m busy tonight, I’m playing football,” nada.’
The Spider-Man star contacted the Manchester City ace after seeing him at the Monaco Grand Prix at the beginning of June.
He said: ‘I was watching Lewis [Hamilton] race, and I saw him. He was [in] like a hospitality suite across from me, and I just thought I’d shoot my shot. Send him a text.
‘I never imagined I would talk about it on live television, but here we are.’
Tom would still like to hang out with the sportsman, but was unsure how Erling would feel about socialising with him after England beat Norway 2-1 in the World Cup quarter finals.
He said: ‘I don’t think he would have dinner with me after the other day.’
Jimmy said: ‘Oh really? Yeah, he’s probably hurting a little bit.’
But the snub didn’t put Tom off admiring Erling as a player, describing him as “incredible”.

He added: ‘I mean, he’s an absolute legend.’
England’s World Cup dreams ended on Wednesday night as they crashed out of the semi-finals after losing to Argentina.
