The video has Arrested Development star Jason Bateman playing Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, guitar), Ed Helms of The Office/The Hangover playing Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboard, accordion, drums), and Saturday Night Live actors Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte playing Marcus Mumford (lead vocals, guitar) and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, guitar) respectively.

The band joked “We are delighted to present to you our new video for the song Hopeless Wanderer. A massive pair of thumbs-up to Sam Jones for directing and his cast of young budding actors. We’re sure they all have bright futures ahead of them”

Ed Helms said “We had an absolute blast shooting this video and the final product only confirms what I felt going in – thank god we’re a fake band. We’re so grateful to be a successful fake band. It’s been years of fake dedication and fake hard work to get here, and I really believe we are at the forefront of abject fraudulence,” while Jason Bateman commented “Getting a chance to pretend I’m a rock star was the proudest I’ve been of myself while awake.”

Hopeless Wanderer is from the band’s 2012 release, Babel.
