Diamond has been one of several celebrities posting their own videos to help entertain and give hope to people. Another video went viral last week of some actors and entertainers singing “Imagine” by John Lennon. Actress Gal Gadot posted the video on Instagram, featuring herself and many other celebrities chiming in with a lyric. “You know, this virus has affected the entire world, everyone — doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, we are all in this together,” she says in her video.
