In the 20th century, the beautiful Aish-war-ya Rai took advantage of her fame from the title of Miss India and Miss World 1994 to make her way into Bollywood. Thanks to successful films in the world's second most populous country, Rai has become one of India's most beloved stars and has had a successful career. Today, the world is witnessing another beauty queen shining on the big screen, Gal Gadot - Miss Israel 2004.

Gal Gadot - Miss forging in the army

World movie fans know Gal Gadot from episode 4 of the Fast & Furious action series. Gadot plays Gisele - a girl with personality, strong and ready to face any challenge. That personality is not by accident. She was a member of the Israel Defense Forces IDF for two years in a row.

Gal Gadot was born in Rosh HaAyin into a family with an engineer father and a teacher mother. From a young age, she dreamed of becoming a lawyer and studied hard to pursue that dream. By the year Gadot turned 18 years old, her delicate beauty and height of 1.78 m caught the eye of a beauty expert. Gadot decided to enter the Miss Israel pageant to challenge herself and go straight to the title of Miss 2004.

The beauty born in 1985 shared: "I just thought this contest would be a fun experience and never thought I could win. Therefore, I was really shocked when people gave me the crown. crown".

She humorously added: "Because of that, when I was sent to participate in the Miss Universe pageant, I became a rebel. I was afraid that I ... would win again and do everything how to make it not happen - being late, showing up in casual clothes. We were forced to wear a dress to breakfast. Who in the world needs to wear a dress to breakfast at 10:30?".

The other contestants were all interested in Gadot's personality, but that rebellion made her achieve her goal: not making it to the Top 15 excellent finalists. After the competition in Ecuador, Gal Gadot returned to Israel to join the army. She explained about this: "Registering to the IDF is an Israeli duty. Two years in the army is for the country, not for yourself. Then you will throw away your freedom. body to dedicate".

After two years of serving the IDF, Gal Gadot studied law to pursue his dream. At the same time, she still participates in catwalks and covers fashion magazines as a model. Gadot has four bloodlines (Czech, Polish, Austrian and German) and quickly captivates the audience with his charming eyes and smile.

That beauty was caught by a casting specialist and gave Gadot the opportunity to audition in Hollywood. The role that she was targeted was "Bond Girl" in Quantum of Solace (2008) but in the end that role went to the beautiful Olga Kurylenko.

After failing, Gal Gadot improved himself by going to acting school and starring in the Israeli TV series Bubot (2007). Not long after, the casting expert called Gadot again and invited her to participate in Fast & Furious (2009). This is a movie that helps her "touch the door" of the Hollywood movie capital.

Gal Gadot - Hollywood's role model

Gadot's performance in Fast & Furious made such a positive impression on the audience that from a supporting character, she continued to participate in the next two parts of this racing series. The character Gisele is Han's girlfriend and a member of the "big family" of Toretto. Thanks to her training experience in IDF, the beauty said that she can do all the stunts in Fast & Furious by herself without a stuntman. In addition, Gal Gadot always shows to producers and directors that: "I want to be a strong, independent woman on the big screen" rather than a "moving vase".

After finishing his mission with the Fast & Furious series in episode 6, Gal Gadot took a new step in Hollywood when he was assigned the role of Wonder Woman. This is one of the most famous characters in the world of DC comics, first appearing on the big screen in the blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

When deciding to cast Gadot as Wonder Woman, many fans of this character expressed apprehension. If in DC's comics, Wonder Woman is a female Amazon warrior with a large body, Gadot has a body and breasts that are not full.

The beauty responded to those criticisms humorously: "I've heard a lot of comments about the size of my breasts compared to the Wonder Woman prototype. But according to legend, the Amazon female warriors only have one side. chest so that the arc shot out doesn't go wrong.

For Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman is more than just an entertaining movie. "Diana (Wonder Woman's real name) is a god who believes in making humanity better. Many young girls are drawn to that character. The film gives them the courage to change." she told Vogue.

The film also requires Gal Gadot to become a "hero" in real life. The star is very active in gender equality activities in Hollywood. In 2016, the United Nations invited Gal Gadot and the character Wonder Woman to serve as honorary ambassadors for the organization's women's advocacy activities.

To prepare for the above heavyweight role, Gadot attended kickboxing, capoeira and jiu-jitsu martial arts. The positive reactions from the audience about the role of Wonder Woman after watching Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice show that Gal Gadot is not in vain. She is considered a "bright spot that surpasses both Batman and Superman" and makes many fans look forward to her own movies about Wonder Woman.

With Wonder Woman 1984 - part 2 of the solo movie about the female superhero Wonder Woman, Miss Israel Gal Gadot received a salary of 10 million USD. Although this amount has increased 33 times compared to the meager $ 300,000 she was paid in part 1, it is still very modest compared to the salary level of many male stars.

Family - a solid fulcrum for the role of Wonder Woman

In real life, Gal Gadot is one of the friendly stars when she once offered to drive her interviewer home after work. The Israeli beauty has two daughters with her businessman husband Yaron Varsano. He is 10 years older than her and from the first time he met, Varsano recognized Gadot as the woman he was looking for. Just weeks after they started dating, Varsano confirmed to Gadot that he would propose to her in two years. That promise was kept and to this day, Gadot is still proud of his small family.

"When Alma was only two years old, my busy work kept me moving. I felt really stressed about bringing my baby from Israel to the US and vice versa. But my husband comforted me: 'Think about it. setting an example for Alma. If you want your children to believe that they can follow their dreams, then you should do it yourself first. The rest we will find a way to solve later'."

Gal Gadot followed that encouragement from her husband and now, she has become one of the prominent stars of Hollywood.

Gadot revealed her pregnancy on March 1 in People, a day after she attended the Golden Globe Awards. On the same day, the actor posted a photo with her husband and two children on social networks, announcing the good news to fans.

On her personal page, "Wonder Woman" Gal Gadot posted a radiant photo next to her husband Yaron Varsano and their two daughters, Alma (9 years old), Maya (3 years old). Father and son lovingly put their hands on the belly of the 36-year-old star as if holding a baby about to be born. Miss Israel 2004's post quickly went viral with more than 3.4 million likes and tens of thousands of comments. Her colleagues such as Jason Momoa, Hilary Swank, Maya Dagan... also quickly congratulated the 8X mother and her family, congratulating them on preparing to welcome the 5th member.

The actress said that having the whole family appear in the movie is like a Christmas present to her. "I couldn't have made the film without the support of my family. They were a part of it. Everyone's presence in it means so much and is a great souvenir that we will forever cherish. forever treasured," said Gal Gadot.
