Gal Gadot looks absolutely stunning on the front page of the latest FASHION magazine, where she shares insights about her upbringing in Israel. In the interview, the actress talks about her time serving in the Israeli Defense Forces for two years and how that experience actually helped pave the way for her successful career in showbiz. Despite her striking beauty and youthful appearance, Gal, who is now 30 years old, reveals that her time in the military wasn’t as tough as one might expect, as it provided her with valuable skills and training that proved beneficial for her Hollywood journey.
Gal Gadot graces the cover of FASHION magazine’s August issue, highlighting how her experience in the military helped prepare her for her successful career. In addition to impressing the director of the Fast & Furious franchise with her weapon knowledge, Gal also did her own stunts in the movies she starred in.
While military service is mandatory in Israel for both men and women over 18, not everyone embraces it like Gal. Model Bar Refaeli, for instance, stirred controversy in 2007 by avoiding enlistment in the IDF. Refaeli later defended her decision, stating that it ultimately paid off for her career as a celebrity. Her case, she hopes, has had an impact on the army’s understanding of different needs celebrities may have.

The beautiful Israeli actress is featured in the upcoming August issue of the magazine, set to hit newsstands on July 13. Gal, a former Miss Israel, is gearing up to take on the role of Wonder Woman in the 2017 film and shared her excitement about wearing the superhero outfit with the publication.
Expressing her admiration for the character, Gal stated, “She represents the ultimate symbol of strength. I never imagined I would one day be playing a role that has had such a significant impact on women.” Along with her upcoming role in Wonder Woman, the actress also stars as the crime-fighting heroine in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, alongside actors Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, set to be released in March 2016. This marks the first time the iconic character will be portrayed on the big screen in seventy years.
Gal has been happily married to Israeli businessman Yaron Varsano since 2008 and they have a three-year-old daughter named Alma. Reflecting on her career and family life balance, the actress shared, “Being a woman nowadays is challenging as we are expected to excel in every aspect of our lives – as a wife, mother, and worker. However, I believe that we are more empowered, stronger, and capable of achieving our goals. This is the message I want to pass on to my daughter.”
