Tom Holland is looking back with love and a little humor in his iconic 2017 Lip synchronization battle performance, which saw him famous dancing in Rihanna’s fish bags Umbrella.
In a recent kitchen segment with Ramsay, the Spider Estrella, recalled the moment while preparing a spicy fried chicken sandwich at the Gordon Ramsay Academy.
Host Ramsay joked about Holland about the bad guys he carried during the performance, asking: “Were Mom’s bags?” Holland laughed and replied: “They were my grandmother, actually.”
The performance, which began with a wink to Singing in the rain Before launching the high -energy Rihanna number, it surprised many.
“What was really good about that is that people didn’t know I could dance,” said Holland. “I kept so quiet, I don’t know why. And I went out with an explosion.”
Later, during the show, Holland also revealed that his father, director Dominic Holland, had doubts about the performance.
“When I told my dad, he said: ‘Son, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I don’t think you should do that,” Holland recalled.
“I think he, at that moment in my career, was very worried that I became too famous too fast. So I was really interested in not doing additional television programs that I didn’t have to do to try to maintain that part of my childhood.”
