O’Dowd was asked to be in the video by his friend and Bridesmaids co-star Kristen Wiig, who appeared alongside Gadot in Wonder Woman.
Chris O’Dowd has called the celebrity cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” that emerged at the beginning of lockdown a form of “creative diarrhoea”.
He added: “We were in that first wave of creative diarrhoea that seemed to encase the entire world.”
Speaking on the latest episode of Louis Theroux’s podcast Grounded, O’Dowd said: “In terms of my interpretation of it, I think the backlash was justified.”
