Gal Gadot's celeb-heavy 'Imagine' cover backfired.
The spread of COVID-19 has shut down life across the United States, prompting business closures and layoffs, forcing people into self-isolation, and leaving many to wonder if they will be able to afford rent. Actress Gal Gadot attempted to cheer up those in self-isolation and quarantine by enlisting a handful of her celebrity friends for a star-studded cover of John Lennon's"Imagine," only to have the project blow up in her face by critics.
"Hi, guys. Day six in self-quarantine. And I gotta say, these past few days got me feeling a bit philosophical," says Gadot at the start of the clip."This virus has affected the entire world. Everyone. Doesn't matter who you are, where you're from. We're all this together." Gadot was reportedly inspired by a clip of a trumpet player in Italy performing"Imagine" from his balcony, and decided to give the song a whirl.
What's super interesting about this video is that instead of recording themselves singing"Imagine" from the safety of their beautifully quarantined homes, the participating celebrities could have just — hear me out — donated money and resources instead. The uncertainty and severity of the public health crisis doesn't seem to be hitting the Hollywood elite in quite the same way.
Gal Gadot on Instagram: “We are in this together, we will get through it together. Let’s imagine together. Sing with us ❤ All love to you, from me and my dear…”
