British actor Tom Holland said he will portray legendary film star Fred Astaire in an upcoming Sony biopic, who is best remembered for dancing and singing with Ginger Rogers in several musicals, including Top Hat and Swing Time. Famed as one of the greatest dancers of all time, Astaire had a seven-decade career in film and on stage in Broadway and the West End. “I am playing Fred Astaire. The script came in a week ago. I haven’t read it yet. They haven’t given it to me,” Holland said. “Amy Pascal has the script,” he said, referring to Spider-Man producer Pascal.
