Spider-Man’s Tom Holland Dresses As Rihanna for Lip Synch Battle

Lip Synch Battle has become a pop-culture staple, allowing big starts to perform some of the most popular songs of all time in full dramatic flamboyance, without the drag of actually having to sing karaoke.

Well, stars have put a great deal of effort into their lip synch battle performances – sometimes going to some pretty big extremes to pull them off.

Case in point: Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland’s recent Lip Synch Battle performance before the 2017 MTV Movie Awards.

Once you see Holland in drag as pop star Rihanna (recreating her famous “Umbrella” music video), you really can’t unsee it. Those pale, lean, Spider-Man muscles hitting some snappy choreography?… It’s a visual that will stay with you, pretty much forever.

If you need a “palette cleanser,” of sorts: check out Holland’s Spider-Man: Homecoming co-star Zendaya performing a lip sync of Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic.”
