Gal Gadot speaks on the 'cringe-worthy' viral rendition of Imagine

[Guest]

In March, Gal Gadot and her celebrity friends were slammed for their rendition of John Lennon's Imagine while self isolating - with people of the internet branding them 'out of touch' for singing about 'no possessions' from their mansions.

Seven months later, Gal spoke out about the massive criticism that followed the video's release in her cover story with Vanity Fair.

The actress, 35, said she only meant to do something that was both good and pure, but admitted that it didn't transcend.

The actress was joined by Natalie Portman, Zoe Kravitz, Amy Adams and more for the 'cringe-worthy' video released in March - at the start of COVID-19 lockdown - with users on Twitter asking 'How out of touch is this?'

Things all started with good intentions, as Wonder Woman actress Gadot explained in the original video. She introduced the project saying: 'Hey guys. Day six in self-quarantine. And I've got to say that these past few days got me feeling a bit philosophical.'

'You know, this virus has affected the entire world, everyone -- doesn't matter who you are, where you are from, we are all in this together.'

The Israeli starlet went on to say she was inspired by a viral video of an Italian man playing trumpet for his neighborhood as the country continues its lockdown.'There was something so powerful and pure about this video,' Gal said before kicking off the excruciating song.

During her November 2020 Vanity Fair cover story, Gal said of the video: 'Sometimes, you know, you try and do a good deed and it's just not the right good deed. 

She continued: 'I had nothing but good intentions and it came from the best place, and I just wanted to send light and love to the world.'

The Wonder Woman actress explained how the now infamous rendition of Imagine came to be: 'I started with a few friends, and then I spoke to Kristen [Wiig].'

'Kristen is like the mayor of Hollywood. Everyone loves her, and she brought a bunch of people to the game. But yeah, I started it, and I can only say I meant to do something good and pure, and it didn't transcend.'

Kinda off topic but I can see her getting nominated for an Oscar some day. She's getting more and more high profile as each day.

I think it was pretty clear the video wasn't made to do any harm. It was only weird, privileged and off.

I think she’s entering superstar bombshell territory instead of the serious actress one.

Really? I'm always surprised to see people praising her acting. I have nothing against her but she seems like she randomly stumbled into acting, sort of very amateurish, one-note, if you will.  Hope she proves me wrong, tho.

I mean her most famous project is Wonder Woman which is very heavily dependent on visuals and action. I only said that because she's the new Cleopatra which is kinda an Oscar role. But then I'm also reminded that it's directed by Patty Jenkins, not Denis Villeneuve who's gonna make an adaptation too and obviously Denis is an Oscar machine so I guess I got confused a bit there.
