One of the biggest stars to take the field during the 2026 World Cup is Erling Haaland. <\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Norwegian striker has been world-class with Manchester City over the past several years, and finally gets to showcase his abilities on the world\u2019s biggest international stage. <\/p>\n

Because Norway isn\u2019t a powerhouse when it comes to soccer, this is the first time that Haaland has been able to compete in a World Cup. And he wasted no time making his mark, as shown by the two goals he scored in Norway\u2019s first group stage game against Iraq. <\/p>\n

Haaland isn\u2019t shy about sharing his personal life with the world. He has been dating Isabel Haugseng Johansen since 2021, and the couple welcomed a son into the world in December of 2024.<\/p>\n

While Haaland and Haugseng are still going strong, and she has been with him throughout this current World Cup run.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why a comment that Haaland made during a recent video he did with British social media personality KSI is sure to raise eyebrows.<\/p>\n

KSI published a June 20 YouTube video where he Haaland are presented with multiple celebrity lookalikes. The goal was to rate whether these lookalikes actually looked like their celebrity doppelg\u00e4nger\u2019s on a scale from one to 10.<\/p>\n

At one point, a Marilyn Monroe lookalike showed up. While KSI knew who this was supposed to be, Haaland said, \u201cI thought it was Sweeney at first.\u201d <\/p>\n

KSI then confirmed he was referring to Sydney Sweeney, to which Haaland said, \u201cI was thinking of her!\u201d <\/p>\n

While this was a harmless comment from Haaland, the fact that he confused American A-list actress Sydney Sweeney with the iconic Marilyn Monroe is hilarious. <\/p>\n
