If you’re like us, you celebrate Tom Holland‘s performance on Lip Sync Battle every year. One of the most iconic – if not the most iconic – performances that a celebrity gave on the show.
Holland, who performed Rihanna’s song Umbrella, stunned audiences with a performance that was iconic. He competed against his now fiancée Zendaya. The look on her face in the performance was amazing, and it felt like she was even surprised by his performance.
While on Gordon Ramsay‘s Scrambled cooking series show, the actor said, “What was really great about that is people didn’t know that I could dance. I kept that quiet, I don’t know why. It’s so funny, Zendaya and I, we were chatting at the time about what we were gonna do, and we had agreed that we would take it easy. That was the agreement, that it was like, ‘I’m not gonna do anything crazy, you’re not gonna do anything crazy, we’re just gonna keep it nice and easy breezy.’”
So what Tom is saying is that he lied or avoided the truth.
He went on to say, “When I was working with the creative team coming up with the ideas, they kind of pitched this ‘Umbrella’ thing, and as we were rehearsing, it got crazier and crazier. And then the rain machine came in. And then I was like, ‘F**k it, I wanna wear fishnets and do this, and I want a wig and a quick-change.’”
We’ve never appreciated a f**k it more than that one.
THE PERFORMANCE
Holland added, “Honestly, of all the pieces of work I’ve done that I’ve put my heart and soul into, blood, sweat, and tears, the Lip Sync Battle is the thing that everyone brings up. It’s never Spider-Man. It’s never, you know, any of my other movies; it’s always Lip Sync Battle. It haunts me.”
What can we say, it’s what we’d want to talk about too.
