Gal Gadot has finally shared her thoughts on the widely panned Imagine video she created earlier this year, defending it as something meant to be good and pure.

The Wonder Woman star spoke to Vanity Fair for its November issue and was asked about the video, which went viral in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, in which she alongside Kristen Wiig, Natalie Portman, Zoe Kravitz, Will Ferrell, Mark Ruffalo, James Marsden, Sarah Silverman, Amy Adams, Norah Jones, Kaia Gerber and others sang John Lennons Imagine.

Critics lambasted the video and argued that the celebrities involved would have been more helpful to those suffering from the effects of the pandemic if they had simply donated money.

Sometimes, you know, you try and do a good deed and its just not the right good deed. I had nothing but good intentions and it came from the best place, and I just wanted to send light and love to the world, Gadot told Vanity Fair, adding that Wiig, her Wonder Woman 1984 co-star, helped make the video a whos who of celebrities.

I started with a few friends, and then I spoke to Kristen [Wiig]. Kristen is like the mayor of Hollywood. Everyone loves her, and she brought a bunch of people to the game. But yeah, I started it, and I can only say that I meant to do something good and pure, and it didnt transcend.
