Will The Real Gal Gadot Please Stand Up?

Gal Gadot since springing to fame as Wonder Woman has to be the most bankable female star in Hollywood. Yes, you could argue so is Scarlet Johansson, but I am not here to compare like for like. Gal Gadot was a model, fitness instructor in the Israeli Army and model. She was born in Israel and studied dance as a youngster. She also won the Miss Israel contest. She has a younger sister and grew up in a very Jewish household.

It was DC's 'Wonder Woman' that broke her big time. If you are as old as me you will remember the tv series from the 70s starring Lynda Carter. Ms. Carter set many male pulses racing as she fought crime and righted wrongs on screen as Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter still looks good today might I add.

Gal Gadot made a 2nd film 'Wonder Woman 1984' which seemed to be fairly successful. Gal has also earned her stripes in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise which never seems to end. As long as movies keep making fortunes at the box office sequels will be made. And this is certainly the case with this movie series. Gal has also appeared in films like 'Death On The Nile' an Agatha Christie classic.

No doubt about it, Gal is an attractive, elegant, and intelligent woman. At the age of 38, this young lady is at the height of her powers. Gal Gadot has 3 daughters that she is extremely proud of. Gadot's martial status seems to be somewhat confusing. She was/is married to an Israeli entrepreneur Jaron Versano. But rumours are flying around that she is separated. How true this is I would not venture an opinion.

Gal Gadot has had her blips in her career too. She did a rendition of John Lennon's 'Imagine' during lockdown. Alongside her celeb mates, the song was no doubt well-intentioned. However, for some reason, Ms. Gadot faced a backlash from fellow celebs, pundits and some fans. Perhaps many thought it was patronising but Gal no doubt thought it might help some through the lockdown period.

Right now Gal will be appearing in 'Heart of Stone' on Netflix in August. Gal will be appearing as an agent alongside Jamie Dornan and Alia Bhatt. A trailer for the upcoming movie has been released. No doubt, Ms. Gadot will be hoping this movie will be adored by her fans. I for one, will check it out and maybe write a review. There is also the ongoing 'Cleopatra' movie in the works. Gal will look more like the Cleopatra of history than the recent Netflix disaster starring a British mixed-race woman (half black, half white) as Cleopatra. Of course, race is a controversial issue these days so I will say no more.

On Facebook, you have myriad accounts, claiming to represent Gal Gadot. Perhaps on other social media platforms too, there will be various accounts, claiming to be the Israeli actor. If you are a devoted fan you could easily fall foul of one if not all of them. You get a message from someone requesting you speak to them on Telegram. The individual concerned purports to be the Wonder Woman actor and it is easy to be taken in. But when they start asking you for money you know it is a scam. There are many people out there who know they can exploit the fanbase of Gal. So they draw you in until you realize this is not the real Gal. No doubt, many naive people have fallen for the deception and sent money. The sensible amongst us will realize Gal does not need money. She is shall we say, very well off and accustomed to a lifestyle many of us can only dream about. Gal is known for meeting and greeting her fans. However, to attend such ceremonies you have to pay for a fan membership card. Costing $2,500 which is a fortune to some if you haven't got two pennies to rub together. Gal is also known for being a genuine person and very charitable.

So with all these accounts claiming to be Gal, you could well ask, "Will the real Gal Gadot please stand up"? I believe the actor has warned her followers about the dangers and pitfalls of these accounts.
