Tom Holland became one of the most sought-after actors in his generation after portraying Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Now, the 20-year-old actor is trying to prove to everyone that he is definitely more than just a Marvel superhero.
Tom Holland plays Spider-Man so seamlessly that people forgot that he wasn’t really the first actor who played the radioactive spider-bitten character in recent Marvel Cinematic Universe installments. While people are still in awe with the new Spidey, little did they know that the star has other talents under his belt that includes dancing.
Spider-Man shocks everyone in recent performance
"Spider-Man: Homecoming" co-stars, Tom Holland and Zendaya took time out from their very busy schedules to be a part of 'Spike's Lip Sync Battle.' While the 20-year-old actress, singer, and dancer has much more experience when it comes to performing on stage, the English actor is not one to shy away and just throw in the towel. As a matter of fact, Tom may have just pushed Channing Tatum off the top list of the 'Best Lip Sync Battle Ever!'
The “Avengers: Infinity War” actor recently showed his dancing skills on the hit 'Spike' show where many jaws were dropped. Tom Holland took on Rihanna’s mega-successful song “Umbrella” and got a standing ovation from the audience and even from his opponent, Zendaya, for his epic performance.
Rihanna is known for her sexy and sleek moves on the dance floor and Tom Holland nailed his number flawlessly. The “Spider-Man: Homecoming” star brought his A-game and was determined to get the win of the night by being in the zone and giving it his all.
Tom shifts from acting to dancing
Tom Holland started off with “Singing in the Rain” where he did a little tap dance and an impressive turn.
The actor used his charm as he lip-synced his heart out in the classic song. After 30 seconds, the music changed to a very familiar tune and the audience finally realized it was Rihanna’s “Umbrella” song.
Tom then strutted to center stage with a Rihanna wig and a quick costume change where he swapped his tuxedo to a black corset and a pair of tiny shorts.
The actor mumbled the lyrics as he did the choreography of the 29-year-old singer’s very popular song.
