Israeli beauty
Gal Gadot said she had never thought she would ever get to play an influential character like
Wonder Woman
in her life.
The 32-year-old
actress
plays the lead role in the superhero movie 'Wonder Woman', which releases yesterday, and she admits the project is a dream come true. "She is the ultimate symbol of strength. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd grow up to be in a movie playing someone who has influenced as many women as she has."
"Nowadays, being a woman is hard. So often, we have to be the best wife, best mother, best worker -- the best everything, it seems. But I truly believe we are more empowered. We're also stronger, sophisticated and can achieve what we want," Gadot said.
The actress, who has daughters- Alma and Maya- with her husband
Yaron Versano
, is glad with the way her training for the 'Wonder Woman' has transformed her physique.
"Since I started training, and before I was pregnant, I gained 17 pounds and it was all muscle. When you feel strong, it changes everything - your posture, the way you walk." "I look at photos from five years ago and think: 'Whoa, I was too skinny.' Not cool."
