Jude Bellingham once again became one of the most talked-about names at the 2026 World Cup, although this time it was not because of his football.
A photograph of the English midfielder began circulating on social media and quickly sparked thousands of comments, memes and reactions from fans, who were quick to dub him “the World Cup crush”.
The image, captured during England’s training camp, shows Bellingham in an everyday moment. However, a single photograph was enough for his followers to flood X, Instagram and TikTok with messages highlighting his looks and charisma.
Among the most repeated comments were phrases such as “the most handsome man at the World Cup”, while others claimed that the photo explains why the Englishman has become one of the footballers with the greatest popularity off the pitch.
It is not the first time Bellingham has trended for something unrelated to the ball, but this image once again showed that, in addition to being one of the tournament’s biggest stars, he has also become one of the most talked-about figures at the World Cup.
