gal gadot

Gal Gadot, who is proud of her origins, was born in Israel, in the town of Rosh HaAyin, in 1985, into a Jewish family, her grandparents came there from Europe; a mixture that includes Polish, German, Czech and Austrian blood. His name “Gal” means “Wave”, and the surname “Gadot” is the Hebraization of the original “Greenstein”, which would be something like “shores”. A brunette with light brown hair and dark eyes, 1.78 meters tall, her great guy never ceases to attract attention.

As usual in his country, he did military service, two years of his life, when he turned 18. Over such a period, that she has helped her become the action girl that she is – she became a combat instructor no less – she claims that “you give up your freedom, and you learn discipline and respect”. The curious thing is that a short time before, she was competing to be Miss Israel 2004, and she won, which also allowed her to qualify for the world crown in Ecuador, but there she did not make the cut of the 15 finalists. About the army, she says that she would love it if her existence were not necessary, but that “unfortunately this is not the case, especially in Israel. Part of being Israeli is going to the army. All my friends went, my parents went, my grandparents went.”

We could never have known about Gal, the fact of being miss being an anecdote, and have been waiting for Gadot all our lives, since the girl began to study law with the intention of becoming a lawyer. But at the end of her first year, a casting director called her in to audition for a role in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace . She won the game Olga Kurylenko , but the bug was already well planted in the future Wonder Woman.

And indeed, shortly after the opportunity of a role in the Fast & Furious saga arrived , and at full throttle he composed his Giselle in the third installment, which he would repeat in successive sequels. She was a strong woman that she likes, as she assures that females “do not have to be saved by the macho hero, but can take care of themselves using their intelligence and strength.” Her physical preparation has allowed her to do the action scenes herself, which in other cases are entrusted to specialists.

Of course, her dazzling beauty has allowed her to grab magazine covers and get hired as a model. This, plus her lightning rise as an actress, which has led her to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice , and at least three other films that will come after it, including Wonder Woman , where she is the protagonist, has not stopped her stepping on the ground, even sometimes wearing dizzying heels. Since 2008 she has been married to the Israeli real estate developer Yaron Versano, and since 2011 she has been a mother, her daughter’s name is Alma, the three of them usually live in Tel Aviv.

In love with motorcycles –she has a 2006 Ducati Monster-S2R–, this sporty woman, for her demanding role as Wonder Woman, has had to gain muscle and exercise in kung fu, kick boxing, jiu jitsu and sword fighting. She has also accepted more dramatic roles in the thrillers Triple 9 and Criminal . And she in her country has been present in several episodes of the sitcom Asfur .
