Gal Gadot, the talented star on the brink of her appearance in “Heart of Stone,” took the entertainment world by storm with a candid conversation that unveiled her surprising victory in beauty pageants and her audacious feat of devouring intensely spicy chicken wings. This revelation came to light during Gadot’s debut on the widely acclaimed YouTube series, Hot Ones.
Teaming up with host Sean Evans, Gadot took on a culinary adventure that could only be described as fiery. With wings soaked in blazing flavors, she delved into insightful discussions about her significant contributions to the “Fast & Furious” franchise and her eagerly anticipated Netflix espionage thriller, “Heart of Stone.”
The iconic Wonder Woman didn’t flinch in the face of spiciness, revealing a secret weapon before diving into the flavorful challenge. “Just so you know, I got some tips from friends,” she shared, playfully advising, “Try not to let it touch the lips.”
Gadot, at 38 years old, candidly disclosed that her co-star from “Heart of Stone,” Alia Bhatt, had shared her worldly wisdom earned through globetrotting with a trusty bottle of spicy sauce. Demonstrating her technique, Gadot revealed, “She said, ‘Breath like this,'” as she demonstrated pursed lips and an exhale, a technique that was quickly mimicked by the intrigued Evans.
Amid savoring bites that grew increasingly fiery, Gadot couldn’t help but reminisce about her journey through beauty pageants. She unfolded a charming tale, saying, “When I participated in Miss Israel, it was all about gaining experience and a story to share with my future grandkids. Then, unexpectedly, I clinched victory in the competition, a truly shocking turn of events.” Between bites, she confided that her initial intention wasn’t to win, but to embrace the fun of the experience. “I never set out to win; I was there to enjoy myself. At 18, not taking life too seriously, I suddenly found myself thrust into this unexpected spotlight,” she reflected, noting a particular fondness for the opening dance sequence.
Gadot also peeled back the layers of her acting journey, revealing that it wasn’t part of her plan during her pageant days. In a 2017 interview with Willie Geist on Sunday Today, she shared, “Becoming an actress never crossed my mind; it was an opportunity that came my way. As my curiosity grew, I developed a deep love for the craft, but it wasn’t a childhood aspiration.”
As anticipation builds for Gadot’s upcoming Netflix thriller, “Heart of Stone,” in which she shares the screen with Jamie Dornan and Alia Bhatt, fans eagerly await another chapter in the multifaceted career of this exceptional actress. Set to release on August 11, the film promises to be a thrilling addition to Gadot’s repertoire, marking yet another milestone in her remarkable journey.
