Celebrity: Gal Gadot is currently enjoying the success of her film Heart of Stone, where she not only stars but also serves as a producer. The film has even received the green light for a sequel, giving Gadot more reasons to celebrate. Adding to her accomplishments, it has been announced that the actress will be honored with a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2024.
Expressing her gratitude, Gadot shared, “This is my class of 2024. Thank you thank you thank you. This brings so much additional motivation to continue pursuing my passion.” Despite her current achievements, Gadot’s journey in the entertainment industry was not always smooth sailing.
Before landing the iconic role of Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder’s 2017 film, Gadot was on the verge of giving up on her Hollywood dreams. She was tired of uprooting her family and facing constant rejection, often for reasons beyond her control, such as not fitting societal expectations of femininity or nationality.
In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she admitted, “This profession, with its recurring rejections, can be incredibly tough. I had numerous close calls, camera tests, and potential roles. I even reached a point where I considered how much longer I could handle dragging my family to Los Angeles for this career.”
But then, unexpectedly, Zack Snyder reached out to Gadot for an audition, without revealing the role. Gadot agreed, not knowing what was in store. She returned to Israel to complete filming for an Israeli movie, fully intending to quit acting once the project was over.
“During our time in Los Angeles, I received a phone call from Zack Snyder, who wanted to audition me for this top-secret role. I thought, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’ Little did I know what awaited me,” Gadot shared. After six weeks, she had almost forgotten about the audition, until her agent called with life-changing news.
Gadot had landed the groundbreaking role of Wonder Woman and was rewarded with an impressive $300,000 paycheck. This marked a turning point in her career, propelling her to international fame and paving the way for her continued success.
Exciting update: The incredible news was officially shared on her verified Instagram account. Reflecting on the experience with an emotional video clip, she vividly described the moment she discovered the astonishing truth about the celebrity.
Hey everyone, it’s your girl over here. So, picture this: I was out doing some press for my latest project, Heart of Stone, feeling all fabulous and whatnot. And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any more eventful, my dear husband suddenly buzzes me up, all excited. Turns out, the Israeli press had been blowing up his phone, sending their congratulations for my Hollywood star! Can you believe it? I was caught completely off guard and clueless about the whole situation. Crazy, right?
Exciting update: ‘We reached out to my publicist and it turns out that I’ve been selected to receive a prestigious Hollywood star! This news is truly incredible.
