Paul McCartney has recruited Emma Stone for the video of his new song “Who Cares”.
The anti-bullying short was premiered on Sunday night at Beverly Hills’s Fine Arts Theatre shortly after McCartney played the final date of his current tour at London’s 02 Arena.
Directed by tour photographer Brantley Gutierrez and choreographer Ryan Heffington, the video – designed to kick off an anti-bullying social media campaign named “#WhoCaresIDo” – sees Stone and McCartney alongside mime-like dancers and harlequins.
"Who Cares" is taken from McCartney's latest record, Egypt Station, which was released earlier this year.
In a press release, McCartney said: “My hope is that if there are kids being bullied – and there are... maybe by listening to this song and watching this video, they might just think it’s not as bad... that it’s the kind of thing you can just stand up to and laugh off and get through.”
Oscar-winning actor Stone’s will next be seen in Yorgos Lanthimos comedy The Favourite, in which she stars alongside Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz.
McCartney’s London show – attended by One Direction star Harry Styles, Emma Thompson and his daughter Stella McCartney – lasted for over three hours and saw the former Beatle tear through hits, including “From Me to You,” “Blackbird” and “Band on the Run”.
The set’s highlight arrived when he welcomed Ringo Starr and Ronnie Wood onto the stage for an encore performance of Let It Be track “Get Back”.
