Channing Tatum could have been mistaken for Norwegian forward Erling Haaland as he blended into the crowds in a long blonde wig at their World Cup match.The American actor, 46, cheered on Norway with fans in their Group I game against France at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.Channing recently appeared in a star-studded Nike short film with Erling ahead of the World Cup where he played an Erling lookalike.The campaign jokingly portrayed Channing as Erling’s ‘new stunt double’ with the actor wearing a blond wig and Norway kit. And it appears the 21 Jump Street star took a shine to playing Erling, as he attended his team’s match dressed as the footballer in the wig and football shirt.

As soon as the cameras roll, the players ignore the script.Instead of following choreography, stars start playing instinctive, creative football, turning the entire movie set into complete chaos. Footballs fly through different film sets, explosions go off, celebrities get caught in the action, and every attempt to regain control fails. Nike uses this to reinforce its campaign message: the best football happens when players trust their instincts rather than following a script.

It was one of the fastest hat-tricks in men’s World Cup history.Kylian Mbappé played a key creative role, setting up the opening goal and helping France dominate the first half.Norway briefly got back into the match through a goal from Thelo Aasgaard, but France quickly restored control. Late in the game, Désiré Doué added a fourth goal, while Norway also missed a penalty that could have narrowed the margin.Norway will still proceed to the next stage after already qualifying ahead of the game, finishing in second place.
