GAL GODOT PROFILE

GAL GODOT EARLY LIFE

The actress who plays the fan-favorite superhero was born and raised in Israel. Yet very much like Wonder Woman, even from the get-go, Gadot wanted to keep up with the boys. “I was a tomboy,” she admitted to Rolling Stone. “Always with wounds and scratches on my knees.”
In Hebrew, her given name means “wave” and her surname means “riverbank.” Her father is Michael Gadot, an engineer, and her mother is Irit Gadot (née Weiss), a physical education teacher. Prior to her birth, her parents had Hebraized their surname from “Greenstein” to “Gadot”; her father is a sixth-generation Sabra (i.e. Israel-born Jew). She has a younger sister named Dana. Gadot has stated that she was brought up in a “very Jewish, Israeli family environment” and is of Ashkenazi descent. Her maternal grandparents were born in 20th-century Europe; her grandfather survived the Holocaust following his imprisonment at the Auschwitz concentration camp during Nazi Germany’s occupation of Czechslovakia, while her grandmother managed to escape the continent before the outbreak of World War II.
When Gal Gadot graduated from high school, the future actor decided to enlist in the military. Her mother, however, had a very different idea. She thought it would be great to sign Gadot up for a beauty pageant.

Crazily enough, this superhero-in-training had heard of Wonder Woman, but her parents never really allowed her to watch television. Yet, she still seemed enthralled with performing. Gadot gave dancing a try and kept up with her classes for 12 years (via Marie Claire). Even when she was just hanging out at home, she loved to entertain her family and friends. Once, when no one was paying attention to her, Gadot sprayed them all with a hose. “I loved the attention,” she revealed to Glamour. “But I never connected all the dots that maybe I should be an actress.”

On the other hand, there were many times Gadot ignored the opportunities she was given to shine in the spotlight. Throughout her teen years, she was offered multiple modeling gigs. Yet, she opted to pick up a job at Burger King instead. Standing around looking pretty didn’t seem like the ideal occupation to her. Little did she know, doing just that would soon change her life.

When she was 20 years of age, she began two years of mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF; 2005–07), serving as a combat fitness instructor. She met her future husband, Jaron Varsano, during this time; they were married in 2008.
In 2008, Gadot participated in Tfos Ta’Festigal – Harpatka BaMetzulot (Festigal 2008), the highest-grossing annual Israeli musical show for kids during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, where Gadot took part as one of the local Israeli celebrities; and she acted, sang and danced – dressed as a mermaid.

Gadot was named as a celebrity endorser for Smartwater in 2020, replacing Jennifer Aniston, who had served in that role since 2008.

After Gadot had completed her first year of college, a casting director contacted her agent to have Gadot audition for the part of Camille Montes in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. Although she lost the part to Olga Kurylenko, a few months later, Gadot starred in the 2008 Israeli drama Bubot. Three months later, the casting director from her Quantum of Solace audition chose Gadot over six other actresses for the role of Gisele Yashar in the action film Fast & Furious, the fourth film in the Fast & Furious franchise. Gadot performed some of her own stuntwork in those films.

In October 2019, Gadot formed a production company, Pilot Wave, with her husband Jaron “Yaron” Varsano, and said she will star in and co-produce an Apple TV+ limited series about actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr, as well as the Warner Bros. historical thriller film Irena Sendler, following the life of WWII humanitarian Irena Sendler.

In 2020, Gadot co-produced, as well as starred, in the sequel film Wonder Woman 1984 and will reprise her role in Wonder Woman 3.

In March 2020, Gadot and a number of other celebrities, including her Wonder Woman 1984 co-star Kristen Wiig, performed an online version of the song “Imagine” by John Lennon, intended to raise morale during the COVID-19 pandemic. The video received backlash with critics dismissing it as an ineffective response to the pandemic; Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called it “an empty and profoundly awkward gesture”. Gadot later acknowledged the video did not garner the positive reaction that had been intended but was unapologetic in explaining the thinking behind it. In a 2022 interview with InStyle magazine, Gadot admitted that the video was done in “poor taste”, but still maintained that it had “pure intentions”.

Gadot, who had begun modeling after winning the Miss Israel pageant, continued to do so during and after her military service.
