00:00I saw somewhere that you DMed Erling Haaland and he didn't respond to you.
00:05Tell us the truth. Did you DM Erling Haaland?
00:08Yes. Yes. And I'll tell you what, that is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors.
00:17Yeah. I'll text him, I'll take him to dinner. Not even a response.
00:23Not an excuse, not I'm busy tonight, I'm playing football. Nada.
00:27Nothing.
00:27That was the Odyssey star Tom Holland, revealing that even he isn't famous enough for Norway's star soccer player, Erling
00:34Haaland.
