Years after his iconic performance of “Umbrella” by Rihanna in Lip Sync Battle 2017, Tom Holland revealed to chef Gordon Ramsay on the show Scrambled that the fishnet stockings he wore in the outfit were from his grandmother.
“The best part about all of this is that people didn’t know I could dance,” said Tom Holland about the performance, which started with the actor dancing to “Singin’ in the Rain” before switching to dancing to Rihanna’s hit.
He mentioned that he made an agreement with Zendaya, his co-star from “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” not to do anything too outrageous.

“It was like, ‘I’m not going to do anything crazy, you’re not going to do anything crazy, let’s keep it calm and light,’” he continued. But the idea grew, and the actor got excited about it.
“Then the rain machine came in. And I said, ‘You know what? Screw it. I want to wear fishnet stockings, I want to do this, I want a wig, and a quick costume change,’” Tom Holland explained.
“Was it your mom’s stockings?” asked Ramsay, to which the actor replied that they were from his grandmother. Holland also mentioned that his father didn’t think it was a good idea to do this performance.
“At that point in my career, he was really concerned that I would become famous too quickly,” he said.
