Gal Gadot looks absolutely stunning on the front page of the August edition of FASHION magazine and shares her insights on her upbringing in Israel. The Hollywood star, who spent two years as a soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces, discloses how her time in the military helped shape her career in the entertainment industry. The gorgeous 30-year-old actress mentioned, “Surprisingly, I didn’t find the army to be very challenging. In fact, the military provided me with valuable skills that have been beneficial for my journey in Hollywood.”
Military upbringing: Gal Gadot graces the cover of FASHION magazine’s August issue, discussing how her time in the army shaped her for success in the entertainment industry. She previously wowed Fast & Furious director Justin Lin with her weapon knowledge and performed her own stunts in the franchise. While mandatory for all Israeli citizens over 18, not everyone embraces military service like Gal did. Fellow Israeli, swimwear model Bar Refaeli faced backlash in 2007 for avoiding IDF enlistment. Refaeli later justified her decision, stating, ‘I have no regrets as it worked out in my favor. Celebrities have different priorities and I hope my choice has sparked a change within the army.’
In a striking display of beauty, one photo captures Gal wearing a chic floppy hat and a jacket without a collar.
The Israeli beauty is featured in the upcoming August issue, set to hit newsstands on July 13. As a former Miss Israel, Gal is getting ready to take on the lead role in the 2017 film Wonder Woman. She expressed her excitement about playing the iconic superhero and being a symbol of strength, a role she never imagined she would have.
In addition to her role in Wonder Woman, Gal will also be seen as the crime-fighting heroine in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is set to be released in March 2016. This marks the first time the character will be portrayed on the big screen in its seventy-year history.
Married to Israeli businessman Yaron Varsano since 2008, Gal and her husband share a three-year-old daughter named Alma. When it comes to juggling her career and family life, Gal acknowledges the challenges faced by women today. Despite the pressure to excel in every aspect of life, she believes that women are now more empowered, strong, and capable of achieving their goals. This is a message she hopes to instill in her daughter.
