Gal Gadot recruited her famous friends to shine a ray of hope during these tough times.
A myriad of celebrities came together with the Wonder Woman actress on Wednesday (March 18) to perform a rendition of John Lennon’s uplifting 1971 anthem, “Imagine,” amid the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Gadot opens the three-minute clip from the perspective of her sixth day in self-quarantine and revealed she was inspired to do something special after watching a clip of a man in Italy, which remains on lockdown as a result of the disease, perform Lennon’s song on the trumpet.
As Gadot recalls how “powerful” the video was to her, the star then begins to burst into the opening lyrics of the tune before a bevy of stars take her lead in helping to complete the song, including Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Natalie Portman, Jamie Dornan, Zoe Kravitz, Sia, Jimmy Fallon, and Will Ferrel.
Additional celebrities to make singing cameos in the clip include Amy Adams, Lynda Carter, Sarah Silverman, Mark Ruffalo, Leslie Odom Jr., Kaia Gerber, Cara Delevingne, Pedro Pascal, Labrinth, Ashley Benson, Annie Mumolo, Norah Jones, Eddie Benjamin, Maya Rudolph, and Chris O’Dowd.
At the end, Gadot finishes the inspiring number with a smile of hope. “We are in this together, we will get through it together,” Gadot captions the clip. “Let’s imagine together. Sing with us.”
