• His father, Dominic Holland, initially advised against the over-the-top performance to prevent him from becoming too famous too quickly.
• The act began as a homage to “Singin’ in the Rain” before Holland surprised viewers with a rain machine, wig change and fishnets for the Rihanna segment.
• Despite blockbuster roles as Spider-Man and in other films, Holland says the Lip Sync Battle clip is the moment most audiences recall and it continues to “haunt” him.
