The talented young actor started off slow with a classy rendition of Gene Kelly’s “Singin’ in the Rain” before ripping off his traditional suit and going all-in on an outrageous (and, yes, wet) version of [Rihanna’s “Umbrella,”](http://time.com/3959743/alex-trebek-jeopardy-rihanna-umbrella/) the 2007 groove that helped solidify the singer as one of pop’s most popular. But Holland came fully prepared to pay tribute to [Rihanna](http://time.com/4762629/rihanna-queen-met-gala-2017/), making good use of his Peter Parker skills to turn the dance into an athletic and aerobic exercise in staying on-beat, even while getting drenched in pouring water. All the while, [Zendaya](http://time.com/4250767/zendaya-spider-man-reboot/) — his co-star in the [new _Spider-Man_](http://time.com/3932334/spider-man-reboot-tom-holland/) and his competitor on the evening’s show — looked on in open awe. At one point, she was literally floored. (That is, she dropped to the ground). > [](https://twitter.com/SpikeLSB/status/861368729527083009) That reaction was shared by much of the internet, which took to Twitter to express their delight in seeing Holland unexpectedly own the dance floor. > [](https://twitter.com/fcukspiderman/status/861544648686182400) > [](https://twitter.com/sixtipnt/status/861569869648728064) > [](https://twitter.com/hjaycee/status/861615595997069312) > [](https://twitter.com/ehhlote/status/861626326804963328) > [](https://twitter.com/poniewozik/status/861628828975853569) > [](https://twitter.com/thalia97x/status/861368385925500933) > [](https://twitter.com/PrincessSkele/status/86165066167456153) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4771404/tom-holland-umbrella-dance/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4771404/tom-holland-umbrella-dance/"},"headline":"Tom Holland Performed Rihanna's 'Umbrella' Proving Peter Parker Has Moves","datePublished":"2017-05-08T20:33:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:31.964Z","description":"His Lip Sync Battle performance made good use of his Spidey skills","url":"https://time.com/4771404/tom-holland-umbrella-dance/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","dance"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt495572a94a571a85/6988cc7a0b72e3d8df6edb31/tom-holland.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt495572a94a571a85/6988cc7a0b72e3d8df6edb31/tom-holland.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2017 MTV Movie And TV Awards - Show","caption":"2017 MTV Movie And TV Awards - Show","creditText":"Paul Archuleta—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4771404/tom-holland-umbrella-dance/","name":"Tom Holland Performed Rihanna's 'Umbrella' Proving Peter Parker Has Moves"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Highest-Grossing Comic Book Movies MONEY","description":"Countdown to the highest-grossing comic book movies of all time!","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2NYipFas/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-02-28T16:20:34.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2NYipFas.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4771404/tom-holland-umbrella-dance/","duration":"PT1M17S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4771404/tom-holland-umbrella-dance/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
