Military-trained Gal Gadot graces the cover of FASHION magazine’s August issue, reflecting on how her time in the army prepared her for the spotlight. The Fast & Furious star caught director Justin Lin’s eye in 2008 with her weapon knowledge and even did her own stunts in the film series.
In Israel, military service is compulsory for both men and women over 18, but not everyone adapts as effortlessly as Gal. Model Bar Refaeli faced backlash in 2007 for avoiding IDF enlistment, but she defended her decision, stating, “Celebrities have different priorities.” Despite the controversy, Refaeli stands by her choice and hopes her experience will influence the army’s policies.
