Since its release, the Internet can't stop talking about Lana Del Rey's new video for "National Anthem," which stars her as former First Lady Jackie O and A$AP Rocky as tragically assassinated president, John F. Kennedy.
The Kennedys famously vacationed in Hyannis Port, Massachussets and the video recreates their waterfront escapades with startling authenticity. Aside from Lana's brief turn as Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday" to JFK, the rest of the visual has her and Rocky channeling the Presidential family in many moments that we were able to trace directly to iconic photographs.
Continue for a side-by-side comparison of JFK and Jackie O with Lana Del Rey and A$AP Rocky.
