Gal Gadot – From Israeli Model to IG Superstar
Gal Gadot is an Israeli actress who has become one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood. Her Instagram account is a platform for her to share her work in the entertainment industry, her personal life, and her advocacy work. With over 50 million authentic Instagram followers, Gal Gadot’s Instagram has become a must-follow for fans of Hollywood.
Gal Gadot has gone from a relatively unknown Israeli model to one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood. She’s been featured in multiple blockbuster movies, and even landed her own hit television show.
She’s also a great role model for women, especially those who are trying to decide whether or not to pursue acting. She’s been able to balance modeling, acting and her military service, which shows that you can do it all.
How She Got Her Start in Hollywood
You may recognize Gal Gadot today as Wonder Woman, but you might not know that she wasn’t always a big Hollywood star. Before she landed the iconic role of DC’s most powerful heroine, Gadot was just a little girl living in Rosh Ha’Ayin, Israel.
After winning the Miss Israel pageant, Gadot started modeling and went on to work in several different industries. She also studied law and international relations at the IDC Herzliya, now Reichman University of Israel in Herzliya, before she decided to pursue acting.
Her first big movie role was in the Fast & Furious series as Gisele Yashar, an ex-Mossad agent and weapons expert. She would reprise this role in all seven of the movies. She has since starred in many more action and thriller films including Triple 9 (2016), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2017), and Red Notice (2021). She also voiced Shank in the animated Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018).
Her Favorite Movies
Gal Gadot has made a name for herself in Hollywood, thanks to her starring roles in the DCEU and Fast and Furious series. She’s also appeared in a number of comedies and family movies, including a handful of animated films.
Her breakout role was as Diana Prince in Wonder Woman, a film that’s considered one of the best in the DCEU. She’s now slated to reprise her superheroine role in both Justice League and Wonder Woman 2 in 2020.
In the meantime, Gadot has been acting in a number of surprisingly comedic films, most recently Red Notice 2021. She stars alongside Ryan Reynolds in this action-comedy about an FBI agent who reluctantly teams up with a notorious art thief to catch another criminal.
She also starred in Ralph Breaks the Internet, the sequel to the popular 2012 movie Wreck-It Ralph. Vanellope’s quest for excitement leads her to Sugar Rush, a video game that’s in danger of being destroyed. She needs to save it in order to get her life back on track, and she enlists the help of her new friends to make it happen.
Her Personal Style
Israeli-born Gal Gadot burst into the spotlight with her roles in the Fast & Furious franchise and then, later, as the superhero Wonder Woman. Now, the former pageant queen and Miss Israel is gearing up for her new acting role as an intelligence operative in a spy thriller on Netflix, titled Heart of Stone.
Her fashion sense is refined and sophisticated, and she often showcases her feminine side on the red carpet. She tends to choose monochromatic outfits with bright colors, but she does not add a lot of accessories or jewelry.
Moreover, she usually wears shoes without heels, which are very elegant and comfortable. Her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, also notes that she mixes high and low-priced pieces.
Her Social Media
Gal Gadot is an international superstar thanks to her work as Wonder Woman. But she’s also a pretty normal person on Instagram. Her blue “verified” checkmark shows 7.6 million followers, and she posts mostly makeup-free selfies and photos of her off-screen life.
She has also been a vocal supporter of Israel and has called out Hamas’s recent attacks on her country. But her social media posts about the conflict have garnered a lot of backlash from her fans.
In an attempt to get her fans to stop attacking her, she penned a message of unity for her home country of Israel on Twitter. Her message prompted a response from her critics who attacked her for her support of the Israeli military and her support for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
