Just like that, it's 1990 again. 

Zachary Quinto proved he "won't let you down" when he took the stage for an epic Lip Sync Battle to the iconic sound of George Michael's "Freedom."

Clad in a leather motorcycle jacket, signature single cross earring and distressed light-wash jeans, the actor looked the part perfectly as he clutched the mic with the same swagger as the original crooner. 

As a nod to the famous music video, dancers popped up around Quinto dancing around just like supermodels Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista had done in the 1990 clip. 

To everyone's surprise, the performance hit an even higher note when a naked Cindy Crawford appeared in a bathtub on stage, an undeniable hat-tip to her original appearance in the video more than 25 years ago.

Crawford wasn't the only real-life model to make her way into the mix. The show's co-host and new mom Chrissy Teigen arrived on stage wrapped in a long white sheet just like Christy Turlington had done in the video. 

The entire production was an immediate hit. The crowd cheered and even competitor Zoe Saldana couldn't help but watch in utter amazement. 

As Michael concludes in the song, "I've got to live"—and Quinto definitely gave everyone life with this performance. The only thing missing was a mic drop.
