Oh no! Gal Gadot, the 38-year-old star of Heart Of Stone, has revealed that she suffered injuries while filming for the movie. She recently shared that she now has four slipped discs in her neck and back as a result of the demanding fight scenes she had to perform.
While being an actress from Israel may appear to be an exciting profession, it also has its challenges. In a recent confession, she revealed that the bruises on her body often cause people to give her strange looks.
The well-known actress is notorious for executing her own stunts in movies, especially the combat scenarios. She has shown eagerness for these scenes, despite the injuries she has encountered, including bruises and hernias. While walking in a park with her daughters in London, she noticed that her legs and back were entirely covered in bruises, and people were staring at her strangely. Nevertheless, Gal relishes fighting and hand-to-hand battle scenes, which she compares to dancing since it enables her to express herself using her body. She feels most empowered when undertaking these scenes. Gal’s fighting prowess was initially presented in the Fast and Furious series as the action heroine Gisele Yashar, where she performed many of her stunts. Prior to her acting career, Gal served two years in the Israeli military and studied law while modeling part-time.
Gal’s venture started after she won the Miss Israel title in 2004. After her victory, she dedicated herself to serve in the military for two years before venturing into law and modelling simultaneously.
