Gal Gadot leads a luxurious lifestyle that leaves everyone in awe. She is a rare beauty queen contestant who did everything in her power to make sure she didn’t win the prestigious crown. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair in November 2020, Gal Gadot revealed that during her time at Miss Universe 2004, she did everything possible to ensure she didn’t win the crown. However, this statement received criticism from the public, with many accusing her of being selfish, fake, and arrogant for not wanting to win the Miss Universe pageant. Despite not winning any titles at Miss Universe, Gal Gadot has achieved immense success in her acting career, earning her a spot as one of the most valuable Hollywood actresses in her 30s. Born in 1985 in Israel, Gal Gadot gained recognition through her role in the “Fast and Furious” film series, thanks to her stunning beauty and impressive height of 1.78m. Before becoming a famous Hollywood actress, she participated in the Miss Israel beauty pageant and won the prestigious crown. However, her beauty pageant journey was quite comical as she only signed up for fun, while other contestants prepared long and hard with the desire to win the coveted crown.
The Queen Gal Gadot signed up for the Miss Israel pageant out of boredom. In a 2017 interview with W magazine, she revealed the story behind her decision to enter the beauty pageant: “At that time, I had just graduated from high school and had some free time before joining the military. My mom suggested I send in some photos and try my luck with this beauty pageant. I joined without ever thinking about winning, and then it happened, it made me scared.” After becoming Miss Israel, Gal Gadot went on to compete in Miss Universe the same year. Not really interested in the beauty queen title, and even a bit fearful, Gal Gadot tried everything to sabotage herself in the eyes of the judges, in an attempt to minimize her chances of winning. “I intentionally arrived late to all the rehearsals, didn’t wear appropriate evening gowns for breakfast. When faced with the Q&A portion, I avoided it by speaking English poorly.” And just as she had hoped, Gal Gadot’s journey at Miss Universe ended exactly as she desired.
Gal Gadot did everything possible to avoid winning the Miss Universe crown. After her journey in the beauty pageant world, Gal Gadot returned to normal life. The beauty served for 2 years in the Israel Defense Forces and studied law in her homeland. In 2008, Gal Gadot was unexpectedly invited to audition for “Quantum of Solace.” Just like her experience in beauty pageants, Gal Gadot was not very enthusiastic about becoming an actress. However, out of politeness, she attended the audition and unfortunately was not successful. Shortly after, Gal Gadot auditioned for the role of Gisele in “Fast and Furious” and was selected. Her striking appearance and strong performance in “Fast and Furious” helped Gal Gadot take a step into Hollywood.
