Bryce posted the clip on his Instagram profile with the caption “My acting debut”. This campaign perfectly fits the life of the superstar as he’s going into his 21st season in the league. Other than the Laker, Haaland is another name that has made a lot of noise in the world of sports in recent years. The 23-year-old is absolutely ruthless on the ground and makes scoring goals look like a child’s play. As any other world-class athlete, Haaland too has his fair share of doubters.
