Elton John Taps Cara Delevingne To Play Him in Re-Imagining of 1973 ‘Step Into Christmas’ Video Shoot
Elton John cast model/actress Cara Delevingne to play him in a fun reimagining of the video for his 1973 holiday classic 'Step Into Christmas'; watch.
On Wednesday (Dec. 18), the indefatigable 78-year-old pop superstar unwrapped a brand new video for his holiday classic, “Step Into Christmas” in which actress/model Cara Delevingne takes on the lead role as 1970s Elton. In the Dan French-directed clip, the 1973 song is given new life when Delevingne slips on a pair of John’s signature flashy shades and colorful, quilted bell-bottom suit with high-heeled boots to lip synch along to the jaunty ditty that has long been an upbeat antidote to the melancholy, wistful sounds of other Christmas standards. Ostensibly a behind-the-scenes look at the troubled production of the original video, the new clip finds two producers fretting over the scene not looking “Christmassy” enough, complaining that the balloons and red feather boa draped on John’s piano don’t hit the right festive tone.
