'Israeli' Gal Gadot says she’s “alright” as actress

‘Israeli’ actress Gal Gadot, known for her roles in Wonder Woman and Disney’s live-action Snow White, described herself as “alright” when asked about her acting during a recent episode of The A Talks.

The show featured young journalists on the autism spectrum, and Gadot told them: "I think I’m solid, I'm alright. There are those who are more talented than me. But if you cast me, you cast well. My biggest strength is that I am not afraid to work hard and that I never let anything stand in my way. I just go, go, go."

Earlier, Gadot sparked international discussion by claiming that pressure on Hollywood stars to “speak out against Israel” contributed to the commercial underperformance of Snow White, in which she played the Evil Queen. She said she had enjoyed filming and was confident the movie would be successful, but after October 7, she felt outside pressures affected its box office results.

Gadot later clarified on Instagram that her comments were made from an “emotional place” and were not meant to suggest the film’s failure was solely due to external factors. She also denied any feud with co-star Rachel Zegler, who has publicly expressed support for Palestine, stating they had fun working together on set.

Snow White, which reportedly had a production budget of up to $270 million, earned $43 million in its opening weekend and totaled $205.6 million worldwide, falling far short of the estimated $540–$675 million needed to break even. Critics widely panned the film, with some specifically criticizing Gadot’s performance.
