Tom Holland Reflects on Iconic ‘Lip Sync Battle’ Moment with Zendaya
In a recent episode of Gordon Ramsay’s YouTube series Scrambled, Tom Holland reminisced about the most viral moment of his career from the 2017 episode of Lip Sync Battle, where he donned fishnet tights and performed a sultry rendition of Rihanna’s "Umbrella." The performance, which has since garnered over 160 million views on YouTube, remains the topic of conversation among fans, overshadowing his role as Spider-Man. Holland jokingly revealed that the tights were actually his grandmother’s, quipping about the unexpected origins of his stage attire.
During the episode, Holland and his now-fiancée Zendaya discussed their performative approach before the show. Initially agreeing to keep their routines simple, Holland’s performance took an extravagant turn with the introduction of elaborate choreography and a rain machine. "I was like, ‘F*** yeah, I wanna wear fishnets and do this,’" he admitted, reflecting on how the plan evolved into a more elaborate display.
Holland also shared insights into how his father, comedian Dominic Holland, expressed concern about the performance, worried it would accelerate his rise to fame too quickly. Despite his dad’s reservations, Holland was determined to embrace the moment, underscoring a playful and adventurous spirit.
As the couple’s romantic history continues to unfold, they confirmed their engagement in January. Fans can look forward to seeing them together in two upcoming films set for release in 2026: Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. As their careers evolve, their undeniable chemistry remains a highlight, both on and off the screen.
