It is from a rare breed of women in which everyone falls in love, even rivals. The Hollywood actress of the Israeli origin of Gadote is a phenomenon is unique, and especially this is noticeable in the glamorous scenery of Beverly Hills, where sincerity, immediacy and vitality in the wonder. She became a star relatively recently, and thank for it you need a screening of comics about a super-san. However, earlier in her life there was a sensible "foresage". As an Israeli lawyer has become a new symbol of beauty and sexuality - in an interview.
- Gal, good afternoon! Thank you for finding time for conversation. I know that you have it really little - shooting, family. By the way, how do you all combine this? Two children and world glory - on fragile shoulders ...
- To say that I do not change at all, it will be untrue. Hey! Well (sighs) ... At first it was really not easy, I won't hide. You will never be fully ready for what will start when you become a parent. And with the child in your life there is a simple, huge, gigantic responsibility, which is sometimes unbearable. And yes, no one told me about the feeling of guilt, nascent almost at one moment with a sense of love for her child. I desperately try to do everything I can, for my daughters, but every time I understand that I could still do, and more, and more ...
I know for sure that the children are my priority, but in order to give them everything, I must be happy. And this means that mommy will sometimes go to work. A big plus to be an actress in the fact that after three months of filming, I can arrange a break for half a year, for example, and thus compensate for my long lack. When I choose a role, always thinking how I will look at me in the image, when they grow up, they will say whether they will be proud of. And this is a glorious way to show them that you can combine what you like to do with family and parental responsibilities.
- Gold words. So what is your secret? Where does power, energy, desire?
- I just learned how to express priorities. And it did not cost without my spouse, who very and very much supports me. Thanks to Yaron, I can all.
- Do you raise children in Israel?
- We live there, but travel a lot, as you understand. Girls are always with me. The husband goes there and here constantly, but I can not say that we often can be separated. Alma and Maya are very sociable, they are bilingual, they understand the two languages - Hebrew and English, they say on both. And in general, this is a grand experience for our family - we attend different countries, get acquainted with new cultures and traditions.
"I did not want to play obvious, recognizable female images of the princesses killed by grief and waiting, when a suitable guy saves them"

- You mentioned that the role of your role is influenced by the possible reaction of your children in the future ...
- The way it is. But I was lucky: when I started my career, I did not have children, and I agreed on any suggestions. I was asked: "Gal, what genres do you prefer? Where would you like to shoot? " And I replied that he was always open, I am a man without prejudice. But now, when I need to think not only about myself, I realized that I want to show a strong side of a woman. I did not want to perform those obvious, recognizable female images, which we most often see in Hollywood, - the seeing princesses killed by the grief, helpless, waiting for her a suitable guy. I wanted to play someone else. And if I knew that I would soon be filmed in the "Wonder Woman"! Fate, of course, a strange thing.
- You know, this role is important not only for your daughters, but also for women of all over the world. This is the first film about superhero, filmed by a woman over the past ten years. Now you have become someone like a symbol of feminism in cinema - or cinema in feminism, as you please.
- When I was approved for this role, I was so excited! I have introduced a unique chance to inspire people. Of course, by and large, I'm not here with things, all thanks to the image of the most wonderful women, thanks to the demonstration of its principles and installations. It was a huge responsibility. But the film created the perfect team, so we coped.
- And how! And this is not your first victory. You were a successful model, became Miss Israel, participated in the Miss Universe contest. Does the act of attitudes you bring more satisfaction?
- In the actor, I immediately felt myself as a fish in the water. Not that I do everything perfectly, no. Just immediately became clear: this is what I want to do in the near future. But in the fashion industry, I did not feel my influence on the process, you understand? That is, you only a function, do not take part in the creation of a collection, nor in organizing shows, you just go out and demonstrate someone else's talent. And being an actress, I can become part of creativity! Playing a character, you get them, miss through yourself, interpret, you think about the subtleties of his character, add something from ourselves.
"I am glad that it served two years in the army. It brings up discipline, instills the right values, teaches humility"

- So you do not regret at all that parted with the model business?
- Frankly, I did not break up with him finally - from time to time I am removed as a model. I like the game process, reincarnation. I can note that these two spheres of my life have a lot in common. And in cinema, and in the trendy world, people are creative, inspired by what they do, they have an easy eye, and they are trying to tell the story through the Camera's prism.
- How did you get into the model at all, and then in the actresses?
- Thanks to the "Miss Israel" contest mentioned by you. It was in 2014. But my first approach lasted for a short time, the career interrupted the army, where I served two years. After that, I didn't think about the past, I went to school rights and international relations. And everything went wonderful until I was called with a request to come to the casting for the role of the Bond girl. Imagine? I then refused to refuse, told my agent (he sometimes offered some part-time jobs as a model): "Listen, everything is in English, and I do not actress at all. No I'm not going". He then thought that I was joking.
- Why?
- Well, who refuses to casting on the role of the girl of the legendary Bond? On the day of listening, the agent called me with a scream: "Where are you?" I replied that I was studying. "I said I won't go." He was very upset and literally forced me to come, saying that it was necessary to do just out of respect. But I did not teach the script, did not prepare. That is what I said to the director. I apologized and honestly admitted that I did not plan to participate in Casting. And once again added that I am not an actress. "I will be here for another four hours. Run on the scenario, "followed the answer. Two hours later I returned to the room. (Smiles.) Then I had another selection, then also. And day after day I was aware that what I was doing now is much more interesting for hiking in law school. In the end, I did not receive the role, but I asked my agent to keep me up to date. I was truly intrigued. A month later, I was already filmed in the Israeli TV series. And in two months I called me in the "Fast and Furious". The rest has already become a story.
- And in the end, did you learn law school?
- Yes, I never received my degree. He studied just one year. (Laughs.)
- Are there any plans to return to study?
- I constantly think about it, but until my schedule does not allow it. Do you remember about proper priorities? In fact, I would now be interested to study not jurisprudence, but art or movie history. I am not a lawyer at all, far from this, because I do not like conflicts. Of course, after the army, I began to learn, but now I do not regret my choice. I hope that I will not sound stupid or naive if I say that if you are kind and open to the world and people, then something good or late with you. In the end, the Universe gives you to understand: "You don't need to be here, you have to do something else." That's about it and happened to me.
"Yaron said after our first meeting that I would be his wife. Then I thought:" What a strange eccentric? " Now it is my reality "

- You said that you do not like conflicts. But everyone knows how much the fans of superhero films are picky. They are very difficult to please when it comes to the screening of their favorite comics. How do you feel about criticizing your game?
- What would you do, you can't please everyone and everyone, right? People will always say that our nature will say. And everything is in order. It's just my work, my career, my art. Whatever I do, I treat it very seriously, with full return, I try my best. And I know that someone likes it. About the rest ... I repeat: Such is the nature of people, and I accept it.
- You said I served in the army of Israel. Did you use the experience on the set?
- Oh, definitely! But it is necessary to thank not only the army: I generally had a very sporty childhood. My mother is a teacher of gymnastics, and that says it all. I never watched the TV until he became an adult, "there were always games and classes more importantly, especially if it was about sports. I also did dance for twelve years. There were still tennis, basketball, volleyball. He was a fucked summit, and still very good and obedient - apparently, all my aggression went to the game. And because the rest of the time I was relaxed and focused on studying. I want to raise my daughter in the same vein. At least it will not sit in front of the computer or the prefix.
- You have something from military discipline, right?
- Yes. But I do not see anything wrong with it. Of course, I hope that the army will never need, and nevertheless you need to be a realist. I am glad that I served two years, we have in Israel, as you know, it is definitely. This brings in you the very inner discipline, instills the right values, teaches humility and adoption of the situation. After all, in fact, two years old, you can't do what you want - to go where you want, there is something you want to sleep when you want. Of course, it is not easy. But this experience made me more responsible and mature man.
- And because you abandoned a motorcycle ride?
- It was influenced by the fact that I became my mother. More - never!
- Are you so categorical?
- Absolutely. Now I think not only for myself and not only about myself.
- Are you confident personality?
- Yes, more than. Will explain. I like a horse in Shorakh - I do not look around, I see only my way, my way. I do not appreciate that I have my colleagues that my friends do, I do not compare yourself with anyone. When you are focused on our own purposes, then you are sure that everything that should happen, it will happen. I adhere to simple philosophy: yours will always be yours, someone else will leave you, no matter how keen. Therefore, yes, I am confident in my power. But, of course, there are moments of doubt and anxiety.
- Spouse gives reasons?
- Oh no! Yaron one hundred percent is my man, and in my coordinate system close people support, and do not provoke you to jealousy or something.

- You are together for thirteen years. Your popularity did not affect your relationship?
- More likely no than yes. Is that we have an additional reason for jokes that his wife is superanous. (Laughs.) And we have become a little more often separated, but in general, everything is still close as before.
- Is he romantic?
- Realist. True, at first it seemed to me that he was a van. Yaron immediately after our first meeting said that I would be his wife. We grab two years before the wedding, then get married and will live happily ever after. Then I thought: "What a strange crank!" Now it is my reality. (Smiles.)
- Is it important for you to be strong? Or is it sometimes a supersenside on the couch wants?
- Definitely wants, more like! I love to lie and watch culinary shows. By the way, I cook well. I especially well manage the harmful American food - cheeseburgers, fried potatoes. And more mayonnaise with ketchup!
- And how do you drop these calories?
- I prefer kickboxing. Excellent load and gorgeous discharge for brains and body.
- For a million fans, you are an ideal. And who is ideal for you?
- I am glad to say that this is my mom. She gave me and my sister truly good inner confidence in this world, a sense of security and love, put us such the right ability to believe and follow the dreams. If I were asked what one main quality I would choose for my life, I would call the unshakable faith in myself. So Mom gave me a great start. And it is still very nice when she boasts to your friends. It costs all my extinguishing everyday life!
