Paddington’s Paul King to direct Tom Holland in Fred Astaire movie
Finally, someone is letting Tom Holland dance in a movie
Aux News Tom Holland
While promoting Spider-Man: No Way Home at the end of 2021, Tom Holland revealed that he was getting ready to play Fred Astaire in a movie about the iconic dancer. He hadn’t read a script at the time and had only talked about the project with Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal, so hopefully since then he’s actually spent some time with it.
Either way, making this movie is no longer just Tom Holland’s responsibility, because the movie now has a director! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paul King—of those Paddington movies that everyone loves and the upcoming Wonka prequel with Timothée Chalamet—has signed on to direct the Astaire movie, which will reportedly focus on the relationship between young Fred Astaire and his sister Adele. Together, the two performed a vaudeville act in the ‘20s, until Adele quit performing when she got married, leaving Fred all alone… to become a renowned dancer and golden age Hollywood icon. So things worked out okay for him (spoiler alert for the movie).
Now, the real question is… whether or not Tom Holland knows anything about dancing. Has anyone ever heard him talk about dancing or watched a video of him dancing? We simply cannot think of a single time that “Tom Holland” and “dancing” have appeared in a sentence together until this movie started happening. Could somebody please tell us if Tom Holland is a good dancer?!
Alright, alright. We’re joking. Tom Holland is a trained dancer. He dances all the time. He’s probably somewhere dancing right now. Also, not very many people are aware of this, but he was once on Lip Sync Battle and danced along to a special “Singing In The Rain”/“Umbrella” medley. Again: Joking. You’ve seen it. Everybody’s seen it.

This is the kind of snarky reaction I’ve come to miss from this site.Also, I am actually looking forward to this movie.
I’m kind of looking forward to it. I love Fred Astaire but I’m wondering where the drama will be in this. It will definitely be interesting to see Holland hoofing as Fred though. I wonder who will play Adele?Adele and Fred weren’t just a vaudeville act before she retired to get married by the way. They were big stars on Broadway, not to mention London’s West End.
Idk. Besides the MCU movies the only things I’ve seen Tom Holland in are The Impossible and Wolf Hall. I love him but he really does not give me a Fred Astaire vibe. I’m a pretty big Fred Astaire fan, so much so that one year my ex gifted me a framed poster from the Met that consisted of several frames of Fred and Ginger dancing in Top Hat. Ginger was wearing the legendary feathered dress that just about drove Fred nuts because it kept shedding feathers every time they danced.
there’s actually a fun fake internet rule that if somebody mentions that video you are obligated to immediately watch it…it would be funny to know if this article gets higher than usual traffic. The video has over 29,000,000 views. Wow. And I don’t normally watch dance but…you can tell he’s pretty good.
I feel like a year ago I heard whispers of this film but didn’t the family of Fred Astaire not want this to happen…?
Will Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant EVER team up for Paddington 3? Actually maybe we should just leave it be. P2 was perfect.
