Tom Holland reveals surprising fact about his famous Umbrella lip-sync

 Tom Holland stated that his 2017 Lip Sync Battle performance of Rihanna's "Umbrella" still receives more compliments than any of his film roles.

Speaking on Amy Poehler's podcast, Holland detailed the routine, which began with "Singin' in the Rain" before transitioning to "Umbrella" with a costume change into fishnet tights and a wig. Poehler suggested the performance's enduring appeal stems from Holland's comfort with his feminine side, linking it to his early ballet training.

Holland recalled his initial nervousness about the live show and how he felt the audience's energy "deflate" before his costume reveal, which then garnered an ecstatic reaction.

Despite his father's initial concerns that the performance could harm his career, the clip remains one of Lip Sync Battle's most-viewed, with over 172.5 million views on YouTube.
