To all the girls in the world... be they old, young, poor, rich, beautiful, troubled, or successful. We see them all here in brave portraiture, from John Legend's wife Chrissy Teigen to a woman bearing mastectomy scars to transgender actress Laverne Cox — all finding their own form of transcendence to the strains of this inspirational ballad.
John Legend just made the greatest wedding video ever. (Sorry, Jill and Kevin).
Shot practically on the eve of Legends's nuptials with model/wife/costar Chrissy Teigen, director NABIL captures the two in lush b&w footage, letting them drift under the currents of forever love, and then capping the clip with a piece of their actual wedding.
John Legend is a sly man. Even though this video features more skin than his last release — the suave, yet distinctly NSFW "Who Do We Think We Are" — it's unlikely to upset any censors hunting for even a stray nip slip.
Benny Benassi zips along the Pacific Coast Highway, John Legend performs in a portraiture set-up, and beautiful women do what they do on the shores of Malibu, all in beautiful b&w.
If you had John Legend in your "Someday even he will make a NSFW video" pool, then congratulations: You likely hit a big payday.
But, don't think the soul crooner has gone tawdry. This is a gorgeous video, like an old-school fashion pictorial come-to-life that will satisfy film nerds (look at that grain) and those who clearly don't read Playboy for the articles. And playing the role of a suaver, better dressed is John Legend, the coolest dude at a most sophisticated and sexy party. With naked women. Everywhere. And not another dude in sight. Except for Rick Ross, who would normally qualify as the coolest dude at the party, but he seems to exist in a dreamscape here. Or, maybe he's just either outside.
And, ps, I have $20 on Josh Groban in my "NSFW someday" pool.
