A video appearing to show Norwegian soccer player Erling Haaland being startled after seeing his own reflection in a restaurant mirror has gone viral on social media. However, it has been confirmed to be AI-generated.

It originated from the TikTok account @jinlongqiuqiu and was first posted on June 15, 2026. The viral version uses an AI face swap, replacing Jin Long's face and clothing with Haaland's while leaving the background, food and every other detail unchanged.
