Five decades since Elton John released his “Step Into Christmas” holiday classic, the music legend has revisited the 1973 single with a new video starring Cara Delevingne.
A side-by-side comparison of John’s original video for the song along with Delevingne playing the role of the UK icon features a 70’s outfitted production team scrambling to bring Christmas spirit to the film set, while on control room monitors, 1973 John and Delevingne’s John sing together.
About the video concept, Elton stated:
“I saw Cara at Glastonbury last summer, and we talked about how much we’d love to work together if the right idea came up.” “She’s hilarious to spend time with; we both have quite a self-deprecating sense of humor. When someone suggested the idea of her playing me in a riff on the 1973 ‘Step Into Christmas’ video, I just thought it was the perfect opportunity. Thank God Cara thought the same because it came out great.”
As for her part Delevingne added, “Elton has always been an idol of mine, to say his music has had a deeply profound effect on me is an understatement. To be asked by him to PLAY him in this recreation was a dream that I didn’t know I had until it happened. Honestly, I wish I could pretend to be Elton every day. I hope that Elton may one day return the favor and agree to play me in my not-yet-developed, written, pitched, or funded biopic. Fingers crossed.”
