Tom Holland’s appearance on “Lip Sync Battle” was a memorable and entertaining family affair. The “Spider-Man” star took fans behind the scenes of his iconic performance of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” on a recent episode of Gordon Ramsay’s show “Scrambled.”
In his performance, Holland started with a rendition of “Singin’ in the Rain” before surprising the audience by quickly switching to “Umbrella.” He even donned a dress, fishnets, and a wig for the performance, appearing alongside his fiancée Zendaya.
Initially, Holland and Zendaya had planned to keep their performance “nice and easy breezy.” However, as they worked with the creative team, the idea to go all out with “Umbrella” started to take shape. Holland explained how the performance became crazier and crazier during rehearsals, culminating in the addition of a rain machine and elaborate quick-change outfits.
During his interview with Ramsay, Holland revealed that his father was initially hesitant about the performance. He was concerned about Holland becoming too famous too quickly and urged him to be selective about the TV shows he participated in to preserve his childhood.
Despite his father’s initial reservations, Holland’s performance on “Lip Sync Battle” became a viral sensation, showcasing his talent for entertainment and willingness to go all out for a memorable show. The behind-the-scenes look at his preparation and the support of his family added an extra layer of charm to an already unforgettable moment in his career.
