Hollywood's darling, Zendaya, found herself utterly charmed by Tom Holland's incredible drag performance on 'Lip Sync Battle' back in 2017. When Tom slipped into a vinyl halter-neck corset and matching shorts – a nod to Rihanna's legendary 'Umbrella' music video – he didn't just capture the audience's attention; he stole Zendaya's heart. According to 'Female First UK', his free-spirited and unfiltered performance revealed a side of Tom that left Zendaya "smitten."
“It's not just sexy, but it shows how amazingly talented he is. It takes a lot of confidence for a straight guy to pull off drag,” a source shared with The Mail on Sunday.
The duo was promoting their blockbuster film, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', when they faced off on the iconic stage. Tom's take on Rihanna's 2007 hit wasn't just an act – it was a revelation. A source noted Zendaya's initial shock, which quickly morphed into admiration. "You can see the shock on her face, but then the admiration. I'm sure it's something they will show their kids one day," they added.
While Tom flaunted his best moves, Zendaya also dazzled with her renditions of Bruno Mars' '24K Magic' and Erykah Badu's 'Tyrone'. But it was Tom's fearless performance that truly stuck in her mind.
Fast forward to today, whispers of deeper ties between the 'Spider-Man' co-stars have fans on the edge of their seats. Earlier this year, Zendaya's stylist, Law Roach, hinted at a possible secret wedding between the two during an event in Los Angeles. Though neither star has publicly confirmed any nuptials, their chemistry both onscreen and off continues to captivate fans worldwide.
With Tom now 30 and Zendaya 29, their relationship has blossomed beyond Hollywood's spotlight. Whatever the future holds for these two, one thing's for sure – that unforgettable 'Umbrella' performance will remain a cherished memory.
