American actor Channing Tatum attended the Norway vs. France match in the third round of the World Cup 2026 group stage disguised as Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.
Oxu.Az reports that this information was shared by "Championat".
The artist, wearing the Norwegian national team jersey, perfectly replicated the Manchester City striker's look using a blonde wig. Haaland remained on the bench without playing, causing some fans to mistake the actor for the real footballer.
This move was a planned stunt. Tatum had previously played Haaland's lookalike in a Nike commercial and decided to bring the joke to the stands this time.
As a reminder, the match ended unsuccessfully for the Norwegians. The team lost to France 1:4. Norway will face Ivory Coast in the Round of 16 on June 30.
