The former Miss Israel is starring in Wonder Woman, out in June

The upcoming release of Wonder Woman in June is set to feature the former Miss Israel in a lead role. In a recent magazine feature, this stunning Israeli actress effortlessly exuded elegance as she modeled various designer outfits. A relaxed and sophisticated look was achieved with a taupe shirt and matching skirt from Bottega Veneta, while a curve-hugging dress from Diane von Furstenberg showcased her figure. Additionally, she rocked a fun 70s-inspired Prada dress. In a nod to her patriotic character, she donned a red, white, and blue Gucci cardigan jacket over an Hermès swimsuit. Despite her undeniable grace and star power, Gal candidly revealed that she hadn’t originally intended to pursue an acting career. It took some convincing for her to embark on this path. Following her victory as Miss Israel in 2004, Gal dutifully completed her two-year service in the Israeli Defense Forces. Subsequently, she enrolled in college to study law. It was during this time that she was approached and encouraged to audition for a role as a Bond girl.

Reluctant: She didn't even want to be an actress, and was studying law following a stint in the IDF when she was approached to audition to play a Bond girl

Hesitant: With no desire to pursue a career in acting, she was focused on her studies in law after serving in the IDF. However, her path took an unexpected turn when she received an offer to audition for the role of a Bond girl.

She first appeared as Wonder Woman in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

In the year 2016, she made her debut as Wonder Woman in the movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. At first, she rejected the role, believing that she was too serious and smart to become an actress, especially because the script was in English, a language she wasn’t completely comfortable with. Despite not securing the part initially, she landed a role in the Fast & Furious franchise and started gaining popularity as a model, eventually deciding to leave her studies behind. It wasn’t until last year that she portrayed Wonder Woman once again in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, the casting choice did receive some backlash, despite her undeniable beauty.

Seriously? Gal said some comic book fans were upset with her casting because her breasts aren't big enough

No way! Apparently, there was some fuss among comic book enthusiasts regarding Gal Gadot’s casting, all because they thought her bust was not ample enough.

Bust boost: She was pregnant while filming and would come to set with migraines

Enhanced bosom: During the filming process, she experienced pregnancy and would frequently arrive on set with debilitating headaches.

Next thing: Though she wasn't cast as a Bond girl, she did get a role in Fast & Furious

In a surprising turn of events, despite not being chosen as a Bond girl, she landed a role in the popular Fast & Furious franchise. The reason behind her Bond girl rejection? The size of her breasts. Yes, it seems that this was considered a significant issue in the industry. But what’s more interesting is that her breasts may have actually grown a bit during filming for the original ensemble film, as she was pregnant at the time.

The revelation came to her while she was shooting Justice League and experienced terrible migraines. Donning dark glasses to cope with the discomfort, her colleagues assumed she was indulging in Hollywood diva behavior. Little did they know that she was simply carrying a child.

She now has two daughters, Alma, who just turned five, and Maya, a precious newborn, with her husband, Yaron Varsano, who works as a real estate developer.
