Gal Gadotknows her viral"Imagine" videowas a mistake.
TheWonder Womanstar, 36, reflected on the John Lennon cover nearly two years after she first posted it in March 2020, tellingInStylethat it was made with “pure intentions,” but admitting it “wasn’t the right timing” or “the right thing.”
While Gadot said she “was seeing where everything was headed” at the time, she knows now that the video “was premature.”
“It wasn’t the right timing, and it wasn’t the right thing. It was in poor taste,” Gadot toldInStyle. “All pure intentions, but sometimes you don’t hit the bull’s-eye, right?”
“Might as well. They had a mic there,” she said of her decision to sing. She added, “It just felt right, and I don’t take myself too seriously … I felt like I wanted to take the air out of it, so that [event] was a delightful opportunity to do that.”

She added, “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 that I meant to do something good and pure, and it didn’t transcend.”
Gadot posted the “Imagine” video on March 18, 2020. She told her followers she had been “feeling a bit philosophical” while in “self-quarantine” for thecoronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which had just begun to spread widely in the U.S. at the time.
Along with Gadot, the three-minute clip features a handful of celebrities taking turns covering Lennon’s famous song, includingNatalie Portman,Jimmy Fallon,Zoë Kravitz,Will Ferrell,Amy Adams,James Marsden,Mark Ruffalo,Sarah Silverman,SiaandMaya Rudolph.
