Chris O’Dowd was one of the numerous celebrities who participated in Gal Gadot’s widely mocked social media video in which she and a cavalcade of stars earnestly sing John Lennon’s “Imagine”.

In an interview with BBC’s “Grounded” podcast, the Irish actor explained that he agreed to participate when his “Bridesmaids” co-star Kristen Wiig (soon to be seen opposite Gadot in “Wonder Woman 1984″) reached out. “I’ll do anything Kristen [Wiig] asks me to do, so of course we just did it,” he explained. “It took five minutes, didn’t think about it.
