Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, spread some much-needed joy on Instagram earlier this week when she led an all-star lineup of notable entertainers including Will Ferrell, Sia, Jimmy Fallon, Kristen Wiig, Natalie Portman, and more through a rendition of John Lennon‘s famed single, “Imagine”, from her self-quarantine location.
The video, which compiled individual clips of the various participants singing a line or two from their own self-quarantine locations, came at a time when the world needs it most. For the past weeks and months, whole countries have found themselves on lockdown as the novel coronavirus spreads across the globe infecting hundreds of thousands of people. Gadot started the video by describing her current situation on day six of a self-quarantine. She explained that the past few days have had her feeling philosophical before providing viewers with the inspiration behind the video.
“I ran into this video of this Italian guy playing the trumpet in his balcony to all of the other people who were locked inside their homes,” she said with the post. “He was playing ‘Imagine’ and there was something so powerful and pure about this video, and it goes like this,” she continued before singing the first line of Lennon’s hit, “Imagine there’s no heaven.”
The video then cuts to Wiig who sings the next line. Clips of Jamie Dornan, Labrinth, James Marsden, Sarah Silverman, Eddie Benjamin, Jimmy Fallon, Natalie Portman, Zoe Kravitz, Sia, Lynda Carter, Amy Adams, Leslie Odom, Pedro Pascal, Chris O’Dowd, Dawn O’Porter, Will Ferrell, Mark Ruffalo, Norah Jones, Ashley Benson, Kaia Gerber, Cara Delevingne, and Annie Mumolo follow before Gadot closes with “And the world will be as one.”
