‘Never thought that I would get to play Wonder Woman’
Israeli beauty Gal Gadot (right) says that she had never thought she would ever get to play an influential character like Wonder Woman in her life.
The 32-year-old plays the lead role in the superhero movie and admits that the project is a dream come true. “She is the ultimate symbol of strength. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d grow up to be in a movie playing someone who has influenced as many women as she has. Nowadays, being a woman is hard. But I truly believe, we are more empowered. We are stronger, sophisticated and can achieve what we want,” said Gadot.
The actor, who has daughters — Alma and Maya — with her husband Yaron Versano, is glad with the way her training for the film has transformed her physique. “Since I started training, and before I was pregnant, I gained 17 pounds and it was all muscle. When you feel strong, it changes everything, from your posture to the way you walk. I look at my five year old photos and think: ‘Whoa, I was too skinny. Not cool’.”
