Coronavirus: Gal Gadot, Natalie Portman, Zoe Kravitz and others sing ‘Imagine’ to lift spirits

Actress Gal Gadot led a star-studded cover of John Lennon’s Imagine as celebrities including Natalie Portman and Jamie Dornan attempted to lift spirits amid the coronavirus outbreak.

In a video viewed millions of times on Instagram, Israeli Wonder Woman star Gadot explains she has been in isolation for six days and the global crisis has left her feeling “philosophical”.

The 34-year-old added she had been inspired by a viral video from Italy – which is in lockdown after being devastated by the virus – of a man playing Imagine on his trumpet while quarantined neighbours join in from their homes.
