Holland Discloses Pre-Performance Chat with Zendaya Regarding His "Lip Sync Battle" Spectacle, Making Her Subsequent Viral Response More Understandable
In a surprising turn of events during a Lip Sync Battle, Tom Holland delivered a dramatic and memorable act that left his co-star, Zendaya, in shock. Despite their agreement to keep things "chilled," Holland went all out with an iconic performance.
The unexpected intensity of Holland's act was a stark contrast to Zendaya's relatively tame performance of Bruno Mars's "24K Magic." Holland's performance, a mashup of Rihanna's "Umbrella" and "Singin' in the Rain," saw him donning his grandma’s fishnets and dancing in pouring rain.
The rehearsals for Holland's performance were no less elaborate, with a rain machine and a quick change involved. The creative team pitched the idea of a "Umbrella" mashup with "Singin' in the Rain," and Holland, channeling Rihanna, wore a short black wig and fishnet stockings for the act.
Despite their agreement to keep their performances low-key, Holland and Zendaya had discussed their plans beforehand. However, the heartfelt and iconic nature of Holland's performance evidently took Zendaya by surprise, as she was filmed looking shocked with her hands covering her mouth during the act.
Even Tom Holland's father, who was concerned about him becoming too famous too quickly and advised him against doing extra TV shows, was initially apprehensive about the elaborate performance. But the wide celebration and acclaim that followed Holland's act, including being considered one of the greatest videos of all time, seems to have silenced any doubts.
