Just because you’re an A-list actor, doesn’t mean you’ll always get a response when you slide into someone’s DMs.<\/p>\n

That was apparently Tom Holland’s experience when he DM’d Norweigan footballer Erling Haaland<\/a> to ask if he wanted to go for dinner. In the Tonight Show<\/em><\/a> clip above, Holland explains that he didn’t even get a rejection \u2014 just a tumbleweed.<\/p>\n

“I’ll tell you what, that is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors,” says the Odyssey<\/em><\/a> star, looking on the bright side. “You know, you’ll be like, I’ll text him, I’ll take him to dinner. Not even a response. Not an excuse, not an ‘Oh, I’m busy tonight, I’m playing football’…nada.”<\/p>\n
