Custom Player Controller Reference

I have made an object reference variable in my HUD class to my custom player controller called “MyCustomPlayerController”.
I want my HUD to get a variable from it, but nothing happens because the reference is set to “none”, how can I assign it at the “Begin Play Event”?

HUD already has refrence, you can get it via Get Owning Player Controller
