Gal Gadot has been one of the most popular stars from Hollywood for more than a decade and fascinated the audience with their strength, charm and its undeniable screen presence. Gadot’s way to fame for Wonder Woman was anything but predictable. If life had become as planned, it would never have entered the spotlight at all.
“I have the feeling that I am just starting,” she admitted. “After ten years [of acting]Now I’m just starting. If things had gone according to plan, I would be a lawyer. “
Here are 10 things that you are probably never about the hero of beauty that you probably never knew in the Israeli military up to a global icon.
1. She never wanted to enter the Miss Israel draft
At the age of 18, Gal Gadot entered the Miss Israel Festival – not because she dreamed of becoming a beauty queen, but because she thought it was a fun experience. To her surprise she won! “I never thought that I would win,” she admitted later and revealed that she did not take the competition too seriously. The winning of the title sent her to the Miss Universe -Festival, where she intentionally tried to lose the stipulated rules -how late and refused to wear evening dresses -because she did not want to be the responsibility to be a beauty queen.

Like all Israeli citizens, Gadot had to serve in the military. She spent two years as a combat teacher in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), where she trained soldiers in self -defense and fitness. She attributes her military training to design her discipline and physical endurance – both were useful when she landed the role of Wonder Woman.
3. She almost became a lawyer
The acting was never on gadots radar. After completing her military service, she studied law and international relationships at IDC Herzliya in Israel. She introduced herself a right -wing career, but fate had other plans. A casting director discovered her in a modeling campaign and encouraged her to play for the role of a bond girl in Quantum of Solace. While she did not get the role, experience aroused her interest in acting.
4. She is a martial arts expert
Gadot’s fight scenes in Wonder Woman look incredibly realistic because she did a large part of the stunt work herself. She trained in detail in martial arts, including kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu and Krav Maga (a combat technique developed by the Israeli military). This, combined with her sportiness, helped her seamlessly handle action roles.
5. She was pregnant when she filmed Wonder Woman
During Wonder Woman Relodoots, Gadot was her second child in fifth month pregnant. In order to meet your growing belly, the costume department changed its iconic armor and used a green screen to digitally adapt its silhouette in post -production.
6. She is a motorcycle lover
Gadot outside the screen is just as adventurous as her ego on the screen. She is love for motorcycles and has a black Ducati Monster-S2R from 2006. While she was turning quickly and angry, she insisted on listing many of her driving steams and showing her natural Daredevil spirit.
7. She heads a production company
Gadot is more than just an actress – she is also a producer. In 2019 she and her husband Yarsano Pilot Wave, a film and television production company, started. Through this company, she wants to create inspiring stories with strong female protagonists.

At the beginning of 2024, Gadot stood in a life -threatening health crisis. During eighth month pregnant with her fourth child, she suffered severe headaches that caused doctors to discover three massive blood clots in her brain. She underwent emergency surgery and has completely recovered since then and has described it as one of the most creepiest moments in her life.
