Gal Gadot, who was crowned Miss Israel in 2004, has now become a well-known Hollywood actress. Audiences may recognize her as Wonder Woman, the beloved DC Comics character known for her strength and beauty. In Vietnam, fans affectionately refer to her as “big sister” or “great mom”. As a member of the Justice League alongside popular heroes like Batman, Superman, Aquaman, and The Flash, Wonder Woman has made history as the first female superhero to have her own movie. For Gal Gadot, it was also her first leading role in a major Hollywood production.
Miss Israel 2004 was won by Gal Gadot, a determined and beautiful woman of mixed heritage with Polish, Austrian, German, and Czech bloodlines. Her grandparents had survived the Holocaust. As a child, Gal had aspired to be a lawyer, but her life changed after she caught the attention of a beauty expert. She decided to participate in the Miss Israel contest at age 18 to challenge herself, never expecting to win. Nevertheless, she was crowned Miss Israel 2004 and went on to represent Israel in the Miss Universe pageant. However, in an act of rebellion, she purposely missed the Top 15 excellent contestants by showing up late and wearing normal clothes, even refusing to wear a dress to breakfast. Afterward, Gal served two years in the army, believing that it’s an Israeli citizen’s duty to devote themselves to their country. Gal Gadot is not only beautiful but also a determined and patriotic individual.
After serving in the army for two years, Gal Gadot returned home with aspirations of becoming a lawyer and continued her studies in law. During this time, she also worked as a model for various magazines and fashion shows. Her stunning looks and model-like physique caught the attention of casting directors for the movie 007 – Quantum of Solace, where she was considered for the role of Bond Girl alongside Daniel Craig. Unfortunately, she lost the role to Olga Kurylenko and decided to pursue acting instead by taking acting classes. Soon after, she landed a role in Fast Furious 4 alongside Vin Diesel. Her first appearance on screen was as a beautiful woman posing next to a supercar without a bra, causing quite a stir among the directors who were searching for “the beautiful girl”. As she continued to appear in subsequent Fast Furious movies, her character Gisele became one of the most memorable characters of the franchise, especially when she revealed herself in a purple bikini in Fast Five. Gal Gadot has now become Hollywood’s new leading lady and is widely regarded as the hottest beauty in the Fast Furious series. After starring in three installments of the franchise, she has become a sought-after actress with many new opportunities on the horizon.
Gal Gadot was met with opposition when she was chosen to play Wonder Woman for DC, with many fans criticizing her small breasts. However, Gal’s intelligence and acting skills have proven that she was the perfect choice for the role. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, her appearance as Wonder Woman amidst gorgeous music, wielding her shield, was the highlight of the otherwise boring blockbuster. In her solo film, Gal brought a luxurious charisma and beauty that captivated audiences every time Wonder Woman charged towards her enemies. Gal effortlessly portrayed both the innocent, graceful goddess and the fierce warrior. Despite being a Hollywood star with numerous temptations, Gal remains a classic type of woman.
Gal Gadot is known for her dedication to her family, as she rarely attends fancy parties in Hollywood. She has been happily married to businessman Yaron Varsano since 2008, and the couple has two beautiful daughters together. The Wonder Woman movie is directed by Patty Jenkins, who previously won an Academy Award for the film Monster. Despite taking a break from filmmaking for 14 years, Jenkins returned to direct this blockbuster hit. In contrast to male directors, Jenkins brings a fresh perspective with her emphasis on emotion and psychology. The love story between Diana and Steve is also portrayed in a carefully-crafted manner, slowly building up their relationship. Greek mythology elements are incorporated smoothly into the film’s details, adding depth to the story. Ultimately, Gadot’s portrayal of Wonder Woman and Jenkins’ directing style create a powerful and inspiring movie that celebrates feminism.
Gal Gadot is being directed by female director, Patty, who infuses Wonder Woman’s humor with witty and realistic dialogue to lighten the film’s serious World War II context. Though the climax may fall short, Patty Jenkins successfully balances all elements to create an entertaining blockbuster. In contrast to the quality failures of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman marks a positive new direction for DC and is considered the best installment in the DC Cinematic Universe, excluding Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. While Hollywood films this summer have been criticized for relying on old tricks, Wonder Woman stands out as a well-crafted movie that satisfies a large audience, especially DC fans. Fans can look forward to seeing the “foolish sister” in November when she teams up with the Justice Squad in the blockbuster, Justice League.
