Tom Holland has admitted even A-listers get ghosted sometimes – revealing he suffered the “humbling” experience after texting one of this year’s World Cup stars.

The 30-year-old is currently on the promotional trail for Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation of The Odyssey and stopped by for a chat on Jimmy Kimmel’s US talk show on Monday night, where he revealed exactly what happened when he slid into Erling Haaland’s DMs.

He told Kimmel: “That is the exact type of humbling experience that is important for actors.

“Like, ‘I’ll text him, I’ll take him for dinner’. Not even a response. Not an excuse, not ‘I’m busy tonight, I’m playing football’. Nada.”

Holland said he messaged the Norway player after spotting him in a nearby hospitality suite at the Monaco Grand Prix, explaining: “And I just thought I’d shoot my shot, sent him a text. I never imagined I’d talk about it on live television, but here we are!”
