Tom Holland is many things, actor, director and now, Rihanna impersonator! Holland shocked viewers on Lip Sync Battle by appearing in a French maid outfit and fishnets, and rocking the stage with a saucy dance on “Umbrella.” The English A-lister kicked off the performance with a low-key whimsical version of “Singing in the Rain,” but then completed a lightning-fast costume change, then emerged in his Rihanna persona as the beat of “Umbrella” dropped.
The man can really dance and I’m sure we all wish we had that kind of confidence! He really slayed it, and it won’t surprise The Music Man readers that the crowd went absolutely wild. Holland’s Spider-Man co-star Zendaya watched from the back of the stage. Her reactions really said it all, going from shocked to amused and even swooning at one point, before doing a brief boogie with Holland when he decided to give her a little attention during the bridge.
Holland’s Lip Sync Battle went down a treat on YouTube, where fans tuned in 9.8 million times. Fans were in awe of Holland’s performance and added comments below the video such as “It’s been years and I am still coming back. He absolutely killed it and I’ll never forget it” and “Imagine you didn’t watch anything Marvel, and this was the first thing you saw Tom Holland in.”
That evening on Lip Sync Battle was quite eventful, as Zendaya also shone with a brash performance on Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic.” The actress really has some great moves and delivered the sassy and confident vibe of a Mars gig like a boss! Zendaya’s performance also turned out to be quite popular, with 25 million viewers watching her contribution to the battle on YouTube.
While The Music Man readers will know him from his hit films, it’s perhaps not so much of a surprise that Holland can also kill it on the dancefloor. After all, he began his time in the arts when he commenced dance classes at age nine. He proved to have potential, as a choreographer suggested he audition for Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.
After several years of training, young Holland found success with a supporting role in the musical in 2008. He was then moved to the title role the same year, which he played for a further two years. Not long after he wrapped up his run on Billy Elliot, Holland went on to make his film debut in the 2012 drama The Impossible.
