The comedy clip shows Sir Elton, 73, “auditioning” for an advert promoting the jab.

The singer then pretends to get the vaccine before bursting in to his 1983 hit I’m Still Standing – leaving the film’s “director” unimpressed.

Sir Elton said: “I wanted to show people the benefits of getting vaccinated and how it helps protect ourselves and the people we love.

“I hope we can all come together and do our bit in the fight against this wretched disease.
