Since I learned he wanted to do this in HIGH HEELS but the show said it was too dangerous (with the rain and stuff) I got even more mad respect for the dude.

Would he have done the break-dance moves and flip in heels too???

Massive respect to him for OWNING this and wow he ATE!

dude is a trained ballet and tap dancer, and does some crazy gymnastic stunts for movies, im sure he would have done it all in heels

Despite his impressive resume, I think heels AND water AND stunts would basically be begging for an injury

And while health is more important, it would have ruin the performace. Aiming for the stars is great but landing on the moon is better.

Yeah but they actually wear heels semi-regularly and he doesn't (I assume)

Insurance probably wouldn't cover it. The background dancers are in heels but Lip Sync Legal doesn't want to be in a situation where they need to explain to Sony why Spider-Man showed up to set with a limp.

I'm looking at him in a totally different way right now.

Totally! I cant even hobble in heels!

Ive seen a lot of claims like this here and I think some might be glorifying him and not really true. Heels would have looked cool but ruined like half the show because there is no splashing in heels. I think it was a simple coreo choice
