Thirty Seconds to Mars dropped its inspiring City of Angels video that tells the story of several stars and how the city changed their lives. The video features several A-listers like Kanye West, Olivia Wilde, Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Olsen, James Franco, Selena Gomez and impersonators of Superman, Marilyn Monroe and more.
The music video and short film features these stars and more as they spill their hearts about their climbs and falls in Los Angeles. The celebrities talk about how they grew up, their aspirations to be on the red carpet, problems they deal with, struggles, failures, crashes and burns. They also talk about how the city helped them find their way back to themselves.
The City of Angels music video is a beautiful yet tragic tale of the place for dreamers and it pays homage to the good and bad of Hollywood.
