Haaland’s Joker Halloween 2025: Diaper Run Goes Viral

Haaland’s First Halloween: Joker Transformation Stuns Manchester

Erling Haaland celebrated his first-ever Halloween in spectacular fashion, transforming into the iconic Joker and embarking on a hilarious late-night mission through Manchester that had football fans buzzing.

The Joker’s Diaper Mission

In a surprising revelation, the Manchester City striker admitted this marked his first time ever dressing up for Halloween – a shocking confession for a modern footballer. The Norwegian, who welcomed a child with girlfriend Isabel Johansen in December 2024, took to the streets for a very practical purpose: buying diapers for their newborn.

YouTube Debut and Costume Reactions

Haaland documented his nocturnal adventure on his newly launched YouTube channel, with the Joker video being only his second upload since starting the channel in mid-October. When the makeup artists completed his transformation, even Haaland himself was stunned, exclaiming: “Wow, this looks absolutely terrible!”

The costume proved equally effective at startling his partner, with Johansen marveling: “That’s the real Heath Ledger from the movie!” The couple saw Halloween as their first opportunity in months to enjoy some alone time before their night out.

Manchester Recognition Despite Disguise

Despite the elaborate makeup, Haaland’s distinctive height made him instantly recognizable to Manchester residents. Every passerby identified the City star, with one fan at a gas station immediately declaring: “That’s our guy from City!”

In true footballer fashion, Haaland couldn’t resist keeping a ball at his feet during the outing, though he quickly remembered: “The Joker doesn’t play football – too easy to get caught.”

Supermarket Shenanigans and Legacy Moments

When the gas station proved diaper-less, Haaland headed to a supermarket where he fully embraced his character, even considering purchasing a chainsaw before spotting his own image on football card album covers. “That’s my legacy,” he proudly noted of the unexpected encounter with his fame.

The Manchester shoppers all recognized their local hero, much to Haaland’s amusement as he celebrated each recognition with perfect Joker-style laughter.

Power Couple Costume Completion

Returning home with the diapers, Haaland found Johansen transformed into Catwoman, completing the iconic DC Comics duo. After bidding farewell to followers, the couple headed out to continue their Halloween celebrations.

Real Madrid’s Double Celebration

Real Madrid players had extra reason to celebrate, combining Halloween with their victory over Barcelona. Endrick and his wife channeled Chucky doll terror, while Vinicius Junior and Eder Militao hosted a joint party featuring the defender in recognizable costume and Vinicius as a purple-haired clown.

Kimmlich’s Creative Masterpiece

The most creative costume award went to Joshua Kimmich, who became Germany’s happiest 30-year-old pumpkin, bringing festive joy to Munich’s celebrations.

Football Drama: United’s Halloween Horror Show

Meanwhile on the pitch, Manchester United provided their own Halloween scare, conceding two goals in 90 seconds after taking the lead, nearly suffering defeat before narrowly avoiding collapse in a match that had fans on edge.
