Gal Gadot, who will be appearing as Wonder Woman in the upcoming film Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, recently shared with Ellen DeGeneres that she had quite the uncool reaction when she found out she landed the role. Despite being on an airplane at the time, the 30-year-old actress couldn’t contain her excitement and let out a scream.

In an amusing revelation, Gal Gadot shared with Ellen DeGeneres that she wasn’t exactly the picture of coolness when she first learned she had landed the role of Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman. Recounting the experience, the actress disclosed that after auditioning for director Zack Snyder, she had to wait anxiously for two weeks without even knowing what she was auditioning for. The details of the role were kept extremely confidential, leaving Gadot in the dark. However, when Snyder finally enlightened her, she had to put on an act of nonchalance, even though excitement surged through her veins.

In a surprising turn of events, the 30-year-old actress shared with a talk show host the incredible excitement she felt when she received the news of being cast as the iconic female superhero. Even though she was on an aircraft at the time, she couldn’t contain her emotions and let out a scream. Recounting the moment, she humorously recalled her conversation with director Zack, who asked her if she had ever heard of Wonder Woman, to which she confidently responded, “Yeah. I’ve heard of her.” This delightful anecdote showcases the genuine joy she experienced upon learning about her casting. The actress, known for her role in Furious 7, divides her time between Los Angeles and her hometown of Tel Aviv, Israel. It was during one of her travels that she received the life-changing call. After the plane landed, she anxiously checked her phone and discovered a barrage of missed calls from her agents. Unable to contain her excitement, she immediately called them back while still in her seat. They cautiously informed her that she had landed the coveted role but warned her to keep it a secret. Frustrated by her inability to share the news, she let out a loud and exaggerated scream, gaining the attention of everyone around her. This charming tale showcases the actress’s genuine enthusiasm and provides a unique glimpse into the behind-the-scenes excitement of her journey to becoming Wonder Woman.

Game changer: During her interview with Ellen, the actress shared that her life took a dramatic turn when the director of the film, Zack, finally disclosed the purpose of her audition. To keep her composure, she had to hide her excitement and play it cool. The attractive brunette, who revealed to Glamour that she had to undergo a rigorous training regime to gain 17lbs of muscle for the role, proudly displayed her well-toned physique while appearing on the talk show. She confidently rocked a form-fitting white scoop neck top, pairing it effortlessly with flowing palazzo pants in a vibrant Superman red shade. Her flawless skin and delicate features were accentuated by her elegant high ponytail, adding an extra touch of elegance to her overall look.

Yelled: The talented actress from Furious 7, known for her frequent travels between Los Angeles and her Tel Aviv residence in Israel, openly expressed her overflowing joy upon receiving the long-awaited confirmation that she had secured the role.

Sporty: She confidently donned a form-fitting, ivory scoop neck shirt paired with flowy palazzo pants in a vibrant shade reminiscent of the iconic Superman costume.

The affection of her existence: Gal revealed to Ellen that, as a mother to her charming four-year-old daughter, named Alma, she takes great joy in embodying a powerful and influential female figure.

During an interview with Ellen, Gal shared her joy in being a strong role model for her four-year-old daughter, Alma. She discussed how Alma had visited her on set multiple times and once saw her in the Wonder Woman costume. Little Alma, being a curious child, asked her mother if wearing a tiara made her a queen and if that meant Alma was a princess. Gal, amused by her daughter’s innocent question, explained that it was a bit more complicated and that she was simply playing dress-up. Alma, being a fan of dress-up and princesses, shared her observation that the princes in stories were always brave and strong, but the princesses often did nothing and had to be awoken by the princes. This comment made Gal feel proud of her role as Wonder Woman. Aside from her role in the Batman and Superman movie, Gal will also star in her own solo Wonder Woman film, set to be released on June 23, 2017.

Heroine: She is set to appear alongside Ben Affleck’s portrayal of Batman and Henry Cavill’s interpretation of Superman in the upcoming film, scheduled to be released on March 25th of this year.
