Fame comes at a cost and Erling Haaland, being one of the world’s most famous footballers, understands the challenges that come with it.
During his appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast ‘IMPAULSIVE’, Haaland said that there are pros and cons of fame and how it has changed parts of his personal life.
Although he insisted he has no reason to complain about his situation.
Erling Haaland opens up on life after becoming famous
During the podcast, Logan Paul asked Haaland whether he liked being famous.
The Manchester City striker honestly admitted there are both positives and negatives that come with it.
“There’s of course pros and cons,” Haaland said. “I will not complain about my life. I am a famous person, people know who I am, a tall guy with long blonde hair. Most people recognise me on the street, but it is a difficult question, you know.”
“I don’t want to complain about anything in my life.”
Paul then pointed out that Haaland had lost much of his privacy because he can no longer walk down the street without being recognised.
“You lose certain kinds of things in your life (after fame), but again, you try to do the best thing out of it. After this (podcast), I will go to my house, I will be completely alone in peace and relaxed, and eat a nice dinner. You know I don’t want to make this a negative thing but I can’t do much anymore.”
Haaland focuses on the positives despite the changes
Haaland agreed that fame has changed certain parts of his life but said he tries to focus on the positives.
Haaland has become one of football’s biggest stars over the past few years. He has helped Manchester City win multiple major trophies while also becoming one of the game’s most prolific goalscorers.
Norway are set to face England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarter-finals as they continue their bid to lift the trophy for the first time.
