Holland described the experience as a reality check every actor needs. "That is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors," he told Fallon.

What comes next?
Erling Haaland seems to have confirmed the story, explaining the events from his side during an appearance on the Norwegian show *A Laget*. "This is a bit embarrassing, to be completely honest," the striker said. "I don't watch movies much, so I have no idea who people are.
