Kaia Gerber's Viral "Imagine" Video Was a Birthday Surprise

Kaia Gerber has addressed her participation in the widely discussed celebrity "Imagine" video, released in early 2020. The model clarified that she was unaware of the video's public nature when she agreed to be part of it.

Gerber explained that she thought she was creating a video for a friend's birthday. She only realized her involvement when the montage of celebrities singing John Lennon's "Imagine" was released. Her appearance alongside Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson was her first IMDb credit.

The star-studded video, initiated by Gal Gadot, received significant criticism online. Many viewers felt it was tone-deaf, suggesting celebrities should focus on COVID-19 relief efforts instead of singing about a better world.

Gal Gadot later responded to the backlash, stating her intentions were pure but acknowledged the timing was wrong. She expressed that the video did not transcend as intended and was perhaps premature given the unfolding global situation.
