Elton John or Cara Delevingne? Christmas has come early this year because Sir Elton has shared a brand new music video for his 1973 Christmas song "Step Into Christmas," and it stars Delevingne ... as Elton. And the resemblance is uncanny.
The new version of "Step Into Christmas," recreates the original video as the visual imagines a behind-the-scenes look at filming the debut version, with Delevingne as a young Elton John. In the video, fans can see Cara with her hair slicked back, rocking the same outfit as Elton had on in the original video, and iconic glasses.
In a statement, Elton explained of how the project came to life, "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."
Cara added of working with the music icon, "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."
