While killing time in self-isolation, Tom Holland challenged his fellow Marvel co-stars, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds to do shirtless handstands – And boy, did they deliver.
Keep scrolling for the full story, and to watch their attempts at the tricky challenge for yourself…
Starting as an unknown theatre boy from England, Holland was catapulted to unprecedented levels of fame in 2016 after his Marvel debut in Captain America: Civil War.
The British actor had actually been confirmed as the new SpiderMan.
So many were a little shocked to hear that such an unknown actor had been cast.
But, as the saying goes, age is just a number, right?
Directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo said that Holland had the edge because of his prior experience as a gymnast. In the script, Spider-Man flipped in a scene, and Holland reportedly offered to perform the stunt himself during one of the auditions.
Because Holland’s portrayal of SpiderMan has been a roaring success.
Including Marvel’s 2019 hit, Avengers Endgame, which grossed a staggering $1 billion in the box office.
For a twenty-three-year-old actor, he isn’t doing too badly for himself, is he?
The Marvel Universe has catapulted Holland into the A-list limelight, and he has gradually become one of the most popular actors in the world of Hollywood.
Holland is also well known for his comically loveable personality off-screen.
We all remember the time he accidentally let slip that his character had died in Infinity War to an audience full of people who hadn’t yet seen the movie.
Ouch.
It was horribly hilarious.
And it has affected how directors and filmmakers work with the actor.
Director, Joe Russo once said of Holland’s loose tongue:
“Tom Holland gets his lines and that’s it. He doesn’t even know who he’s acting opposite of. We’ll just, we use like very vague terms to describe to him what is happening in the scene because he has a very difficult time keeping his mouth shut.”
As a result of the ongoing medical pandemic, the majority of the world is currently sitting in self-isolation, and celebrities are faring no differently.
As you do.
Because all the other celebrities are doing them, obviously.
The latest challenge to circulate the internet is to do a handstand while shirtless and attempt to put your shirt back on while still in the handstand.
Well, Ryan has never been on to do things by the book, has he?
We all wondered whether the Deadpool star would deliver…
And he did in the only way he knows best – By doing the exact opposite of what was asked of him.
