The original handstand challenge required a person to put on a shirt while doing a handstand and actor Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man in the Marvel movies, struggled when he took it. However, US Olympian Lolo Jones also set a high standard by taking the challege. He managed to put on two shirts and take a sip of wine.

Biles’ successful attempt also received responses from other celebrities. Chrissy Teigen commented,” “Simone I have to lay down and have someone else do it normally.”

Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds, who was earlier challenged by Holland, but had declined with a “No” reiterated his stand in response to Biles’ video.

Since it was posted, Biles’ video has garnered over 30 lakh likes and has been retweeted more than 3 lakh times.
