Cara Delevingne Plays Elton John in ‘Step Into Christmas’ Music Video — Watch!

Cara Delevingne is the spitting image of Elton John.

On Wednesday, Dec. 18, the “Candle in the Wind” musician, 77, shared a kitschy visual remake of his 1973 Christmas classic “Walk Into Christmas” with the actress/model, 32.

In the new video, based on John’s original footage for the track, Delevingne dresses up as the “Tiny Dancer” hitmaker as a production team frantically decorates the video’s set for the holidays with a festive feather boa, balloons and confetti. Meanwhile, chaos ensues as the team tussles with an escaped turkey, fails to book a real reindeer and tackles a fan who storms the set.

The visual also pans to a 1973 version of John with Delevingne as they sing together.

“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,” John said in a statement. “She’s fun to hang out with; we both have a pretty 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 that’s it perfect opportunity. Thank God Cara thought the same because it turned out well.”

For Delevingne, John has always been “an idol of hers.” “To say that his music has had a profound impact on me is an understatement,” she said in a statement. “Being asked by him to PLAY him in this recreation was a dream I didn’t know I had until it happened. Honestly, I wish I could pretend to be Elton every day. I hope , that one day Elton might reciprocate and agree to play me in my yet-to-be-developed, written, pitched, or financed biopic.
