AceShowbiz - In a nostalgic twist, Cara Delevingne has taken on the role of Elton John in a reimagined music video for his 1973 Christmas hit, "Step Into Christmas." The video pays homage to the original while adding a touch of humor.
Delevingne portrays a young John, sporting his signature glasses and suit. The video reimagines the behind-the-scenes chaos of the original shoot, with producers scrambling to create a festive atmosphere and wrangle a turkey.
John revealed that he was inspired by Delevingne's performance at Glastonbury Festival last summer. "When someone suggested the idea of her playing me, I thought it was perfect," he said. "Thank God Cara thought the same."
Delevingne, a longtime admirer of John, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity. "To say his music has had a profound effect on me is an understatement," she said. "I hope Elton will return the favor and play me in my biopic."
Released in November 1973, "Step Into Christmas" became a festive favorite, reaching No. 56 in the US and No. 1 on the Billboard Christmas Singles chart. It was certified gold in 2021.
This is not the first time a famous face has portrayed John in a music video. Justin Timberlake played the singer in the 2001 video for "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore."
The reimagined "Step Into Christmas" video arrives after John's recent struggles with vision loss due to an eye infection. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic and continues to find creative ways to entertain his fans.
