Gal Gadot recruited a few famous friends to sing an A Capella cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” that has racked up more than 4.9 million views on Instagram. In the three-minute clip, Gadot shares that the coronavirus pandemic “got me feeling a bit philosophical, knowing that this virus had infected the entire world. Everyone. It doesn’t matter who you are. Where you’re from. We’re all in this together.” She explains that she was inspired by a video of an Italian trumpet player who performed on his balcony for his neighbors. “He was playing ‘Imagine’ and there was something so powerful and pure about this video,” she says, and begins singing.

Tribe members Natalie Portman, Sarah Silverman, Maya Rudolph and Zoe Kravitz are among the participating celebs, as are James Marsden, Amy Adams, Mark Ruffalo, Kristen Wiig, Jamie Dornan, Jimmy Fallon, Norah Jones, Leslie Odom Jr. and Sia.
