Imagine

On 18 March 2020, Israeli actress Gal Gadot posted a video on Instagram of herself and two dozen celebrity friends singing a rendition of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon, which intended to raise morale in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Origins Gadot organized the video with help from Kristen Wiig. "Kristen is like the mayor of Hollywood," Gadot told Vanity Fair, "Everyone loves her, and she brought a bunch of people to the game. But yeah, I started it, and I can only say that I meant to do something good and pure". She told Instyle: "The pandemic was in Europe and Israel before it came here (to the United States) in the same way. I was seeing where everything was headed." So she told Wiig, "Listen, I want to do this thing." "Hey guys, Day 6 in self-quarantine, and I gotta say the past few days got me feeling a bit philosophical," Gadot explains in the video's introduction. "You know this virus has affected the entire world, everyone. Doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, we’re all in this together." Gadot said she was inspired to make the video after seeing a man from Italy play "Imagine" on his saxophone from his balcony. "I ran into this video of this Italian guy playing the trumpet in his balcony to all the other people who were locked inside their homes. and he was playing 'Imagine', and there was something so powerful and pure about this video..."
