Here's a fun observation: Elton John bloody loves celebs dressing up as him and miming along to his songs.
Whether it's a pre-Iron Man Robert Downey Jr in I Want Love, or a fabulously costumed Justin Timberlake in This Train Don't Stop There Anymore, Sir Elt clearly adores Sir Alt's, and this new video for a reissue of Step Into Christmas, his 1973 festive banger, is no exception.
Casting Cara Delevingne as the hitmaker, complete with dubious hairline and distinctive gnashers, Stink director Dan French imagines the behind-the-scenes mayhem of the original video shoot, with Delevingne turning in a fun performance as the not-fooling-anyone mimic.
“I saw Cara at Glastonbury last summer," comments John, "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 humour.
"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.”
“Elton has always been an idol of mine," adds Delevingne. "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 favour and agree to play me in my not-yet-developed, written, pitched, or funded biopic. Fingers crossed!”
