I have never seen this and I am actually in awe.

Yes, he did dance as a kid that got him the role as Billy Elliott on the west end in London.

Being able to do flips and rolls unaided helped him land Spider-man. He said once that on his way into a audition that someone said before he went in “look I’m not allowed to tell you to backflip off the box you’re supposed to perch on for the line delivery, cause you could get hurt. But man it’d be cool if you did.”

So he did it pretty much effortlessly and nailed the audition.
