I know I’m not the only one who can extract unadulterated glee from learning that, since it goes against all usual notions of celebrity logic.
Although I suppose it becomes a question of demographics and who’s actually doing the recognizing, since MTV’s audience skews young, and the video of Holland’s act went as viral as viral gets.
It stands to reason that the person playing Spider-Man for the big screen, and one who already donned the mask for the widely seen Captain America: Civil War, would pervade the pop culture consciousness more for that role than for being impersonating Rihanna for a special Lip Sync Battle performance at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
