GAL GADOT

At the moment, most people know Gal Gadot as the latest actress to bring Wonder Woman to life. Before she got this big break, she was a model first. She participated in various beauty pageants, which must have been easy for someone with her beauty and grace. In 2004, she even joined Miss Universe. She went on to launch a modeling career after this. She also earned a degree, after which she started to take acting seriously. While she did not land the Bond Girl role in Quantum of Solace, she did gain a following after appearing in the Fast and Furious series. She was also in Date Night and Knight & Day. It is interesting to note that she has martial arts training, which must have come in handy when she was cast to play the most famous superheroine in the world.

She studied at Vanderbilt University, but she dropped out to pursue her modeling career instead. Among other things, she has worked as an Old Navy spokeswoman, a House of Style hostess, and more. Her modeling career has been a huge success. Modeling aside, she also started a jewelry line of her own called Grayce.
