No, that’s not how TLS works. The certificate is not exposed to the internet unless the admins of the webserver are extremely incompetent. That would defeat the entire purpose, not only could you impersonate the server, but the encryption would also be futile since anyone would have access to the private key.

Only if the user ignores the “unsafe connection” warning in the browser, since you won’t have an SSL certificate for the domain
