The Killers’ new music video is not quite a case of art imitating life as it features the phenomenally successful Owen Wilson playing a struggling actor in Hollywood.
The track, Christmas in LA, has been released in support of World AIDS Day and is the eighth consecutive year that the band have supported the charity campaign with their music.
“You’ll never see us smile or let our hair down as much as when we do the Christmas stuff,” the band’s frontman, Brandon Flowers, told the Metro.
“What’s nice is that it happens to coincide with World Aids Day, which is December 1, so it made sense to write Christmas songs,” he explained.
“This year, the song’s about a struggling actor in LA who misses the traditional Christmas. We got Owen Wilson to do the video, and there are cameos from Harry Dean Stanton and an animated Warren Zevon, which is bad-ass. I’m so excited about it – talk about the stars aligning.”
Wilson follows in the footsteps of Glee’s Dianna Agron who, last month, underwent a rock chick makeover to star in The Killers’ music video for Just Another Girl.
