The beloved actress who brought the legendary Wonder Woman to life, Gal Gadot, is set to make an appearance at this year’s Oscars. However, she won’t be attending as a contender since her blockbuster movie didn’t receive any nominations. Instead, she’s been invited to present at the event. Gadot has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most in-demand actors and has received widespread acclaim for her portrayal of the iconic feminist superhero. She’s been honored with the National Board of Review’s Spotlight Award and is currently up for a coveted Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Award. Prior to her impressive acting career, Gadot served in the Israeli army for two years.

The well-known individual, who comes from Petah Tikva in Israel, was required to complete mandatory military service which applies to all individuals aged 18 and above, regardless of gender. This prominent figure started their military service at the youthful age of 20.
Back in 2015, Gal Gadot had a chat with Fashion magazine and revealed that her experience in the military was not as difficult as one would imagine. In fact, she felt that the training she received during her service helped her to prepare for her career in Hollywood. Gal Gadot was already a beauty queen before she joined the military, and at 18 years old, she earned the Miss Israel crown. She also represented Israel in the Miss Universe pageant. After her reign as a beauty queen, Gadot became a combat instructor in the military.
After completing two years of military service, the famous personality decided to pursue a degree in law and international relations at IDC Herzliya college. While studying law, a talent scout approached her with an opportunity to audition for the role of a Bond girl in the movie “Quantum of Solace.” However, she initially felt hesitant and declined the offer, citing that she was too serious and intellectual to become an actress. Additionally, the script was solely in English, which made her feel uncomfortable despite being proficient in the language.
Even though she wasn’t initially chosen for the part she tried out for, her love for acting was kindled and she quickly secured a role in an Israeli TV show. Just a year of studying was enough to persuade her to leave school and pursue her dream. Eventually, the director who had previously rejected her gave her a shot at her first major movie role – portraying Gisele in the popular film “Fast & Furious”. She moved to America to focus entirely on her acting career and the rest is history.
Gal Gadot, the talented actress who portrayed the iconic superhero character Wonder Woman, has recently relocated to Los Angeles in the company of her husband Yaron Versano and their two lovely daughters, Maya and Alma.
