Tom Holland’s Surprising Lip Sync Battle Performance with Grandma’s Fishnets

In a recent appearance on Gordon Ramsay’s show ‘Scrambled,’ Tom Holland shared the backstory of his iconic 2017 ‘Lip Sync Battle’ performance, where he shocked the audience by switching from a ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ performance to Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella.’ Holland revealed that the moment was full of surprises, including his decision to wear fishnets, a dress, and a wig for the performance. The idea of wearing fishnets came during rehearsals when the performance concept evolved from a simple tribute to a full-on, dramatic stage moment. Holland humorously shared that the fishnets were not from his mother, as some might assume, but from his grandmother. While Holland’s fiancée Zendaya was part of the planning, his father was less than enthusiastic about the idea. According to Tom, his dad worried about the impact of such performances on his career, especially at the height of his fame. Despite his father’s cautionary words, Holland felt it was a fun, creative moment that perfectly captured his willingness to take risks in his career.
