Cher, An Elephant, And The Power Of Celebrity

Cher felt powerless.
This is not an admission you expect from a woman who has been a superstar since the mid-1960s, with 100 million records sold and 3.9 million Twitter followers.
But when the pop star got involved in helping save an elephant stuck in a zoo in Islamabad under terrible conditions, Cher also had to fight an uncomfortable feeling.
"I kept saying to all my friends, 'I'm just an entertainer, I'm just an entertainer,'" Cher says now, as the streaming service Paramount+ debuts the documentary
Cher & the Loneliest Elephant (the documentary airs on the Smithsonian Channel on May 19). It's a film about the years-long effort to save Kaavan, a 4-ton, malnourished elephant who had been kept in chains for decades in a run-down area of the Islamabad Zoo in Pakistan before he was moved to a wildlife sanctuary in Cambodia last year.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cher’s rescue of an elephant long held in dismal conditions is a one-of-a-kind story, as would be expected from the singular star.
Even she was surprised by what her efforts — in concert with a team of animal aid groups, wildlife veterinarians and Pakistan’s legal system — achieved for Kaavan, she said during a panel discussion taping.
“'I don’t know anything about this. I’m just an entertainer. I can’t save this elephant,'” Cher recalled thinking when the animal’s plight was brought to her attention by what she calls “the kids” on her Twitter feed.

Review: Cher rescues a pachyderm — and sings! — in 'Cher and the Loneliest Elephant'

When Cher, a longtime animal rights activist, first heard about the plight of Kaavan, an Asian bull elephant living in severe neglect at the Islamabad Zoo in Pakistan, she had a message for the 4-ton pachyderm:
I got you, babe.
The singing superstar made it her mission to relocate the elephant to a more humane environment. But, as she says in “Cher and the Loneliest Elephant,” the new Paramount+ short documentary that premieres on Earth Day (Thursday, April 22): “I have no street cred. How am I supposed to do this?”
