After an epic preview of Stephen Merchant's performance on Lip Sync Battle, the 40-year-old English actor faced off against actress Malin Akerman on last night's episode of the Spike TV show.
"Malin Akerman I hope you're going to bring it later because you were in a movie called Wanderlust and you're going to wonder in lust at some of the moves I'm going to be doing later," Merchant warns in a preview clip for the episode. "So just—we don't trash talk in the U.K. so I'm not an expert at it."
"Stephen, you fake little Brit," Akerman continues, "I am going to get you. So watch out."
Hilarity then ensues as the two proceed to lip sync for their life with Merchant performing Enrique Iglesias' ballad, "Hero" while Akerman chose Def Leppard's 1987 hit "Pour Some Sugar On Me." The two later switched up their routines for round two, Stephen choosing Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty" while Malin picked Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty" (the studio's heating up!).
Both Ackerman and Merchant brought their A-game to the stage—the English comedian channeled his best Xtina in leather chaps complete with "nasty" written on the bum while the Swedish beauty did some seriously sexy dance moves on stage (yes, there's a crotch grab) while wearing a hot black bodysuit.
Inspired by a recurring segment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Spike TV series is hosted by LL Cool J and has featured stars such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Anne Hathaway, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski in the past.
