Gal Gadot, Israel’s most beautiful woman, conquered countless Americans with her image of “Wonder Woman” as soon as she appeared on the stage. She is the most blooming flower in Israel, stunning the whole world with her impeccable appearance and figure.

But many people may not know that after Gal Gadot was confirmed to play Wonder Woman, many Americans started a debate about her breasts. She was already pregnant when she played Wonder Woman, and later she appeared with a baby bump. However, this incarnation of justice on the screen suffered sexual harassment from the director in reality and even refused to star in the sequel of “Wonder Woman” because of this.

Not only that, before becoming an actress, Gal Gadot danced for twelve years and served as a soldier. She is keen on basketball, volleyball, rock climbing and other sports. She is one of the few people in Hollywood who can complete her own stunts. One of the most famous actresses. In addition to Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot is also well-known for her role as Gisele in “The Fast and the Furious”.

How did Gal Gadot become an international star? What extraordinary experiences has she had? What has this Israeli beauty experienced after arriving in Hollywood? For details, see below.

Gal Gadot was born in Rosh Ha’ain, Israel, in 1985, and grew up in a Jewish family with Israeli characteristics. Her mother was a teacher and her father was an engineer.

Gail’s name means wave in Hebrew, and her last name “Gadot” means river bank. Since she was a child, her mother has always encouraged her to be a confident and ambitious woman, so Gail early showed a desire to be self-reliant and to make money on her own.

At the age of twelve, she first began babysitting her neighbor’s children. At the age of fifteen, she started working in a burger restaurant. When she graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, her mother suggested that she participate in the Miss Israel contest.

That year, Gal Gadot participated in the “Miss Israel” competition and successfully won the championship, and went to Ecuador to participate in the Miss Universe selection. After that, she returned to Israel and started a modeling career, becoming the chief model of Israel’s most famous clothing brand.

However, she soon had to put her career on hold and instead fulfill the two years of compulsory military service that every Israeli must fulfill. In the army, she worked as a fitness instructor and learned numerous fighting techniques and weapon usage, just like the heroes in the movie.

Gal Gadot later recalled that the biggest thing the army gave her was not only skills, but also teamwork, responsibility and obedience. After serving in the military, Gal Gadot entered college to study law.

In 2008, a casting director for “007: Quantum of Solace” noticed her and recommended her to Hollywood to audition for “Bond Girl.”

So, with her dream of becoming an actress, she decided to cross the ocean and break into Hollywood. Ultimately, she lost to Ukrainian supermodel Olga Kurylenko.

But fortunately, her audition performance and experience in the army aroused the interest of Chinese-American director Justin Lin, and she eventually stood out from many competitors and joined another super series “Fast and Furious”.

This year, she hurriedly entered the palace of marriage. She was only twenty-three years old at the time and married Yaron Versano, a Jewish businessman ten years her senior.

After her marriage, she once considered quitting the entertainment industry because she was repeatedly rejected for auditions and kept flying back and forth from Israel to the United States, but got nothing. This repetition made her suffer and suffer, and her future seemed unclear.

In Hollywood, competition is extremely fierce, with so many stars and powerful actors, even actresses from foreign countries cannot use this to gain a special advantage.

When she first came to Hollywood, someone suggested that Gal Gadot party and go to bars to make more connections. Finally, she got an audition call from director Zack Snyder, offering her the chance to become the much-anticipated Wonder Woman, changing the course of her life.

However, many fans were initially unhappy with Wonder Woman’s casting, feeling that Gale wasn’t strong enough or had breasts that weren’t big enough. For the role, Gal Gadot must deal with these doubts through continuous training.

In order to play the role of Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot trained for six months: exercising to get in shape, gaining weight and muscle, and learning martial arts, boxing, swordsmanship, jujitsu, equestrian, and capoeira. From being barely able to do pull-ups at first, to later being able to complete a series of difficult movements. Gal Gadot has gained seventeen pounds, all of which is muscle.

During the filming of Wonder Woman, she became pregnant. But she did not tell others the news, but silently endured various discomforts of pregnancy, including nausea and other physiological reactions. She kept it secret because she didn’t want to receive special treatment for her pregnancy or be seen as vulnerable.

When she was five months pregnant, “Wonder Woman” needed to reshoot some scenes. Although she could have used stand-ins and special effects to complete these scenes, she still insisted on performing the fighting scenes herself. After all, Wonder Woman is the absolute protagonist and she has to complete her work herself.

So the costume designer made some modifications to her suit, adding a triangular section and then covering it with bright green cloth so that her midriff could be tucked in later with special effects.

Even though she was pregnant, she still completed the running and a large number of action scenes by herself, overcoming many difficulties, including pregnancy discomfort, bad weather, and severe cold. All of this moved the director, producers, and staff deeply.

After the release of “Wonder Woman”, Gal Gadot’s role was highly recognized, and her image of “Wonder Woman” was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As a masterpiece of DC superhero movies, “Wonder Woman” was released in 2017, with a North American box office of US$412 million and a global box office of US$821 million, breaking the 15-year North American box office record held by “Spider-Man” in 2002. Record.

However, shortly after the hit release of “Wonder Woman”, Gal Gadot was involved in a sexual harassment incident that she could not get rid of. In October 2017, the New York Times and The New Yorker reported that more than a dozen actresses accused Hollywood producer Weinstein of sexual harassment, assault, and violence against them.

Days later, more than 40 women had publicly accused Weinstein of sexual assault. In addition, other directors, including Ratner, have also been accused of assaulting actresses. Later, Gal Gadot canceled plans to introduce director Brett Ratner at a Jewish National Fund dinner.

Ratner is a financial provider to Gadot’s company and has reached a cooperation agreement with Warner Bros. for up to $450 million. As a victim, Gale bravely stood up and said: “There are many problems in Hollywood, especially uncontrollable sexual harassment from powerful people.” She vowed that if Ratner is not kicked out of the film industry, she will refuse to star in the “ Wonder Woman” sequel.

Eventually, Warner Bros. pulled the plug on Ratner, and Gal Gadot continued to star in the “Wonder Woman” movies.

Today, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is rekindling. Gal Gadot posted several posts on social media in support of her motherland, Israel. For example: My heart is broken, my country is at war, and I fear for the safety of my family, friends, and people. Israel as a country deserves freedom and security, and so do its neighbors. However, many netizens criticized Gal Gadot for this.
