American actor Channing Tatum attended the France — Norway match dressed as Erling Haaland
The Hollywood star put on a whole show yesterday at the World Cup match between Norway and France in Foxborough.
Tatum appeared in the stands in a Norway national team jersey, with a long blonde wig, clearly imitating the Norwegian forward Erling Haaland. Many fans at first didn't immediately realize that it wasn't the "Manchester City" star in front of them, but a famous actor, as Erling remained on the bench, Bild noted.
This was not a random costume: Tatum recently starred in a Nike commercial as Haaland's lookalike and now continued the joke at the stadium. He took photos with Norwegian fans and had fun in the stands, although the Norway national team itself had an unlucky evening: Haaland sat out the entire match on the bench, and the team lost to France with a score of 1:4.

Haaland previously said he liked Tatum's transformation.
The Norway national team enjoys immense popularity both in its home country and abroad.
After one of the matches, the players sat down on the football field and began to row on a longship like Vikings, to a loud "Row, row!"
This instantly became a meme, and everyone started copying this rowing.
Initially, it was even imitated in the Norwegian parliament
And then it spread across all continents.
In the Round of 16, Norway will play against Côte d'Ivoire on Tuesday.
So if you spot Norwegian fans on the streets of your cities, you can repeat "Row, row" with them.
