As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, celebrities decided what we needed was a video of them singing along to John Lennon’s Imagine.
Joined by major celebs like Natalie Portman, Amy Adams and Will Ferrell, Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot put together a video of her and her famous pals singing the song, and uploaded it to Instagram.
The reason for it is explained by Gadot at the beginning of the video.
Your COVID-19 questions answered. Post continues below video.
“These past few days got me feeling a bit philosophical,” she said.
“This virus infected the entire world. Everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from. We’re all in this together.”

Yeah. It’s really something, huh?
Intended as heartwarming and sweet, the video has been widely slammed as tone deaf, with rich celebrities singing about having no possessions from the comfort of their (large) homes.
Listen to Mamamia’s daily entertainment podcast The Spill. Post continues below audio.
Anyway, like everything, there’s a silver lining. And that silver lining is the reactions to the video from the wonderful people of the internet.
So there you have it. We really are all in this together.
Mission accomplished?

It was worth cringing through that video to see these reactions lol
Woke celebrities reacting to a pandemic that erupted through international arrivals singing a song about, in part, open borders. The lack of self awareness is total cringe.
For some perverse reason, this really cheered me up.
The original video, or the responses? 'Coz that Jeff Goldblum one was a classic!
Responses of course.

We could feed the world with hopefulness - so to speak
