It was intended to cheer us up and unite us – and it did.
People came together to laugh at tone-deaf Hollywood stars who showed we really aren’t all in this together by making a cringeworthy cover of John Lennon’s Imagine from isolation in their luxurious mansions.
Bridesmaids actress Kristen Wiig had to apologise to Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan for roping him into Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot’s naff video.
"Kristen and I did a movie together last summer that’s meant to be coming out on July 31 but who knows what will happen. We got on brilliantly. I would do anything for her - that’s how highly I think of her. I was the biggest fan of her before anyway.
"Not being on social media, I wasn’t aware of the reaction – but was made aware by mates" admits Irish hunk Jamie.
"Kristen texted, "Gal and I are trying to organise this thing to lift spirits’.
"So I was like: ‘Of course I’ll do it’.
"Then she texted days later saying, ‘Sorry’.”
Even Jamie’s pals blasted the celebs – including Mark Ruffulo and Will Ferrell – as “pompous, self-righteous actors”, after Gal urged viewers to “sing with us”, adding: “We are in this together.”
But Jamie – who filmed his own segment from his toilet “to make it normal” – told the Tea with Me podcast she was "trying to do a good thing".
He added: "I just got dragged along with it.”
The video, which was an attempt to lift spirits amid the coronavirus outbreak has been viewed more than nine million times on Instagram.
It was widely criticised for being "cringeworthy" and "out of touch", with many social media users pointing out that it would be more helpful for the wealthy celebrities to donate money for much-needed ventilators and PPE.
While he still hasn't read any of the feedback, the 37-year-old understood why there was so much backlash.
"I’ll tell you what the problem was," he said.
"I literally did mine in the toilet of my house. Quite clearly, some people had escaped to their second home.
"There’s too much acreage in the background, too many beautiful trees swaying in the background, clearly in front of an ocean, that sort of craic. I was quite aware of that whenever I was doing it, to make it normal."
