‘I was thinking about never coming back to LA’: Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot admits she nearly QUIT acting to do special thing
‘I was thinking about never coming back to LA’: Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot admits she nearly QUIT acting to move back to her native Israel after dealing with constant rejection
“I was considering never returning to Los Angeles,” Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot says she almost gave up acting to return to her home country of Israel after experiencing ongoing rejection.
After landing the part of Wonder Woman, a famous comic book heroine, on the big screen in 2016, she shot to international fame.
Even though Gal Gadot’s name is much sought after, it is shocking to learn that she was on the verge of quitting acting entirely before to her widespread success.
The gifted actress, 32, who is married to Yaron Versano and has two children together, also disclosed to Glamour that she considered moving back to her homeland Israel before becoming well-known in Los Angeles.
Honest admission: Gal Gadot, whose name is widely known, has said that, prior to her widespread success, she was on the verge of quitting acting completely.
Gal’s career has taken off in the last year, and she’s presently getting ready for Justice League, which opens on November 17.
And she proved she was an A-list celebrity when she dazzled in a sensual Glamour picture session, dressing in a variety of skimpy, sequined outfits.
Although the former Miss Israel 2004 is enjoying the stability of her brilliant profession right now, she disclosed in the interview that it wasn’t always the case.
Gal opened up about her difficult past: “I thought I’d stay in Israel, work as an actress here and there, go back to school, and do something else. Before I got Wonder Woman, I was thinking about never coming back to Los Angeles.”
Almost over: The gifted actress, 32, who is married to Yaron Versano and has two children, also revealed to Glamour that she considered moving back to her native Israel before becoming well-known in Los Angeles.
Work well done! After landing the part of Wonder Woman, the beloved comic book superhero, on the big screen in 2016 alongside co-stars Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, Gal has since catapulted to international recognition.

The actor went on to explain the disheartening details of the acting industry, saying that it was because there had been so many “no’s.”
When you go to the audition, you’re told that if you get the part, your life will change. You then have a callback, another callback, and a camera setup. You then fail to understand it.
Gal clarified, obviously fed up with the expectations and promises, saying, “I reached a place where I didn’t want to do that anymore.”
Gal admitted that she had more on her plate than just herself as a wife and mother: “Taking them to LA to fish for work put a lot of pressure on me because my husband has a lot of work in Tel Aviv and we have a daughter.”
‘There were so many no’s!’ Gal received it was the constant rejection, coupled with broken promises and hopes, that had her contemplating moving back to Israel
“There was a lot of pressure to take them to LA”: Gal had more than just herself to consider because she was also the wife of Yaron Versano, whom she wed in 2008, and the mother of Alma, her six-month-old daughter Mya.
I thought to myself, “Why am I doing this?” Before things came full circle, she said, “And that’s when I got Wonder Woman.” I was thinking, “What am I good for?” after hearing no time and time again.
Undoubtedly intelligent and attractive, Gal was pursuing a legal education prior to focusing on her modeling, pageantry, and acting careers.
Looking back, Gal acknowledged that she was relieved that her legal career had not turned out the way she had hoped.
“I’ll be a lawyer so I can make peace and people will be able to reach agreements,” you tell yourself as you persuade yourself to do these things.

‘I would be the sh***iest lawyer’: Clearly a beauty with brains, Gal was studying law before her modelling, pageantry (pictured) and acting endeavours took over – but admitted she was glad the career path didn’t take off
Future: Gal is getting ready for the November 17 debut of her new film, Justice League.
On the other hand, lawyers constantly handle disagreement in real life. For me, conflicts are bad. I’m all about Zen and harmony. That’s why I’m glad it didn’t work out. As a lawyer, I would be the sh***iest.
Although Gal had given serious thought to leaving the bright lights of Los Angeles behind, she still resides there with her family, which includes her husband Yaron Versano, whom she married in 2008, and her six-month-old daughter Mya.
