To spread awareness on social distancing and lighten the mood during the coronavirus pandemic, Gal Gadot has united several of her friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry for a video in which they sing John Lennon’s iconic song ‘Imagine.’ Read LIVE updates on coronavirus outbreak here. The video begins with the Wonder Woman star talking about her “day 6 in self-quarantine,” and how the situation had led to her “feeling a bit philosophical” about the global nature of the pandemic. She adds she was inspired by a viral video from Italy, currently on lockdown owing to the virus, where a man plays ‘Imagine’ on his trumpet to all the other people quarantined in their homes. A host of celebrities including Natalie Portman, Mark Ruffalo, James Marsden, Sarah Silverman, Kristen Wiig, and Amy Adams then sing the following verses.
