In 2020, a group of celebrities, including Gal Gadot from Wonder Woman 1984, came together to record a collective sing-along rendition of John Lennon’s iconic song Imagine. Their aim was to uplift and inspire people during challenging times and spread positivity across the world.
Amidst numerous videos circulating the internet aiming to alleviate COVID-19 pandemic-related stress, this one, featuring celebrities singing Imagine, faced mixed reactions. However, actor and podcaster Joe Rogan didn’t hold back.
Joe Rogan Wasn’t Impressed By The Viral Video
Expressing some of the bluntest thoughts about the incident sparking further discussions on the internet. To kick things off, Joe Rogan established his overall stance on the video with the following candid remark:
“This is not the time, when everyone’s granny is dying, you fucking idiot, to sing, ‘Imagine there’s no heaven.’ It’s such a dumb move.”
Rogan’s straightforward response aligned with what many in the public expressed about the star-studded video featuring celebrities like Kristen Wiig, Jamie Dornan, and Armie Hammer. While his initial remark was sharp, Rogan also delved into specific reasons behind his strong feelings about the clip reel. During an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the conversation delved deeper into Rogan’s sentiments, providing additional context and insight into his thoughts and feelings on the matter.
“If I’m friends with her … I would have to say, ‘Listen, you’re awesome. I think you’re great. But that is a ridiculous idea.’ It is so lacking in self-awareness and so ridiculous. I mean, Granny died choking on her own vomit, but I feel like the world’s better because Gal Gadot’s so pretty. There are some people who get real self-indulgent and real self-righteous with that social media. It’s exposed a lot of celebrities for being real dorks.”
Recognized for his work in the NBC sitcom Newsradio and his past role as the host of the game show Fear Factor, Joe Rogan is well-versed in encouraging guests to express their unfiltered thoughts on his podcast.
