How did Gal Gadot become famous?
Gal Gadot didn't set out in her life to be an actress.
Born in Israel, Gadot's first taste of performing came from studying hip-hop and jazz dance for 12 years. When she turned 18, she competed in the 2004 Miss Israel pageant for fun, never imagining she would win—but she did, then went on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant the same year.
When she turned 20, she began her mandatory military service for the Israel Defense Forces, which she believes helped her ultimately land her debut acting role in Fast & Furious, explaining, "I think the main reason was that the director Justin Lin really liked that I was in the military, and he wanted to use my knowledge of weapons."
After her military service, Gadot studied law at Reichman University but kept her acting options open. A casting director contacted her agent to have Gadot audition for Quantum of Solace. She didn't get the part, but the same casting director soon handpicked her to star as Gisele Yashar in Fast & Furious.

How much did Gal Gadot make for Justice League?
Warner Bros.
While there haven't been many substantiated reports on Gal Gadot's Justice League salary, it's believed she made at least $300,000 for the superhero team-up, as well as the same for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, in which she made her debut as Diana Prince. However, since Justice League hit theaters after Wonder Woman—the latter of which was a bona fide blockbuster—we can expect her payday was at least somewhat higher than the $300,000 figure.
That said, Gadot didn't have the best experience during the Justice League production, claiming that director Joss Whedon, who took over helming the movie when Zack Snyder bowed out, threatened her career.
“I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me,” Gadot told Elle. “You’re dizzy because you can’t believe this was just said to you. And if he says it to me, then obviously he says it to many other people.”
“I just did what I felt like I had to do. And it was to tell people that it’s not okay," she recalled. “I was shaking trees as soon as it happened, and I must say that the heads of Warner Bros., they took care of it.”
She added, “Would [Whedon] tell me what he told me had I been a man? I don’t know. We’ll never know. But my sense of justice is very strong. I was shocked by the way that he spoke to me. But whatever, it’s done. Water under the bridge.”
