The lockdown pandemic was quite hard for many of us to cope with. However, it provided an unexpected opportunity for people to make the most of this period, especially celebrities, who are often super busy with schedules and shoots, and found a silver lining in this situation.

During this time, the Spider-Man actor, Tom Holland, introduced an engaging challenge to his fellow actors, which allowed the audience to connect and enjoy every moment of entertainment with these celebrities.

Tom Holland once came up with a difficult task on Instagram and challenged his co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds to participate. The Spider-Man actor challenged them to put on their shirts while performing a headstand.

Holland shared the challenge video on his Instagram story. In the video, he initially performed a shirtless headstand in his room. He then managed to wear the shirt while on the headstand position. Eventually, he somehow completed the challenge. But by the end, he was noticeably out of breath. Subsequently, the actor tagged Gyllenhaal and Reynolds to take on the task next.

Soon after, the Zodiac star agreed to take the challenge and shared his headstand video. However, upon realizing he was tagged for the challenge, Gyllenhaal replied, “Wait. @tomholland2013 What’s the challenge? Shirtless heavy breathing?”

In the video, he appeared to be in fit shape and was even spotted with a stylish ponytail. On the other hand, the Deadpool star wasn’t in the mood to face off with the show. He responded by sending a video of himself with an annoyed expression, clearly declining the actor’s invitation. Many fans reposted the video on Twitter.

Jake Gyllenhaal said that he was about to decline the T-shirt handstand challenge initially, but before he could, Ryan Reynolds had already beat him to it.

“I was going to do the same thing until the morning of, when [Reynolds] already posted him saying no. And then I thought, ‘Well, great, now I’m going to have to try this.”

After nailing the challenge, Gyllenhaal nominated three other stars to follow suit- his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, and 50 Cent.  However, Jackman and 50 Cent did not respond to his nomination. Whereas Gyllenhaal expressed his admiration for his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, who effortlessly completed the challenge.

“My sister did better than probably any of the ones who’d done it before. I’m a younger sibling, so I’m used to doing something, and then my older sibling did it 10 times as well, so that’s what happened with this. She does lots of yoga, headstands, and stuff. It was a cinch for her.”

Holland and Gyllenhaal starred together in Spider-Man: Far from Home, where the latter played the evil Mysterio in the film. Holland and Gyllenhaal developed a good friendship while filming and promoting the movie all over the world.
