This video of Norwegian soccer player Erling Haaland fooled millions after the altered video was published by @Crazymoments01 on X on June 29, 2026, where it quickly went viral. But the original clip didn’t feature Haaland at all. It originated from the TikTok account @jinlongqiuqiu, run by Chinese comedy duo Jin Long and Qiu Qiu, and was first posted on June 15, 2026. The viral version uses an AI face swap, replacing Jin Long’s face and clothing with Erling Haaland while leaving the background, food, and every other detail unchanged. The edit gained traction as Haaland’s popularity has grown in China, where fans have created a wave of AI memes and parody videos featuring the Norwegian soccer star. #PandaPaws #SharingtheTea #ChinaSurprisedMe #ChinaTravel #CoolChina
