While some male actors might be hesitant about dressing up in a revealing outfit and showing off their dance moves on camera, Tom Holland thought it was a fantastic idea and fully embraced it.

"I don't give a f**k," he said.

"I've grown up in the most non-toxic-masculine environment possible."

"I didn't realize what I was doing was so forward-thinking. I was just like, 'Yeah, f**k it, I'll put some fishnets on and dance in the rain. That'll be really fun. I don't care'."

Looking back on his lip sync performance, Tom Holland openly admits that he wouldn't participate in something like that at present, as he now enjoys a more laid-back approach, spending his time chilling out and playing golf.

However, despite his current pursuits, Tom Holland remains exceedingly proud of his contribution to creating a piece of pop culture that has become iconic.
