Keeping it Low-Key: Gal Gadot Takes a Stroll with Hubby in LA Amidst Reports of Modest Paycheck for Wonder Woman
On Tuesday, it came to light that Gal Gadot was paid a mere $300,000 for her lead role in the blockbuster movie Wonder Woman. Meanwhile, Henry Cavill was paid a staggering $14 million for his portrayal of Superman in the poorly received film Dawn of Justice. Understandably, the actress looked a little downcast while out shopping with her husband in Los Angeles the day before. Despite this, she still managed to look effortlessly stylish in metallic silver shorts, black leather sneakers, sunglasses, and a white T-shirt featuring the words “Paris City Limits”.
Gal Gadot was spotted strolling through some shops in Los Angeles with her husband, Yaron Varsano. The couple both looked stylish and comfortable, with Yaron sporting a white polo, green shorts, and black leather loafers. Meanwhile, the real estate developer was busy chatting on his phone while Gal looked around the stores. It appears that the pair left their two daughters, Alma (five years old) and Maya (three months old), at home for the outing.
The 32-year-old actress was spotted in a relaxed outfit consisting of silver shorts, black leather sneakers, and sunglasses. She paired these with a white t-shirt emblazoned with the words ‘Paris City Limits.’ Recent reports suggested that she was paid only $300,000 for her role as the Amazonian princess, while Henry Cavill earned a whopping $14 million for Man of Steel. However, Vanity Fair dismissed these claims, stating that Cavill’s salary included a box office bonus that hasn’t been added to Gadot’s pay yet. According to TMZ, the Israeli beauty is entitled to a substantial performance bonus as the movie approaches a box office revenue of $600 million.
It’s a bit of a gamble: While Wonder Woman is predicted to earn a whopping $600 million worldwide in the upcoming week, rumors say that the lead actress was compensated with just $300,000.
Gal Gadot’s iconic Wonder Woman character teamed up with Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman in the 2016 blockbuster hit, Batman V Superman – Dawn Of Justice.
According to Gadot, a former soldier and Miss Israel, she considers herself destined to portray the legendary female warrior. She believes that her role as Wonder Woman can serve as a model of a “real woman” for young girls. Gadot has previously expressed that she feels she was meant to play this iconic character. In the past, male superheroes like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man have served as inspirational figures for young boys, while young girls had to settle for being rescued by princesses. Gadot thinks that Wonder Woman represents a new kind of female hero: bold, proactive, self-assured, and confident in her ability to overcome any obstacle. This is what she believes makes a true woman.
Gal, Ben, and Henry were captured posing together in 2016 on the red carpet, with Gal drawing attention in her striking red dress.
