Top 10 Funniest Gal Gadot Moments
#10: Graham Norton’s Head
This British presenter has a reputation for coaxing embarrassing stories out of his guests, which often leads to uncontrollable laughter. But when Gal Gadot got on his show to promote her newest Wonder Woman movie, the laughs came as a result of her being distracted by the back of the presenter’s head. Gal tried to get the interview back on track, but at that point, the serious part of the interview was pretty much over, as Graham didn’t know where he should be looking. Should he keep looking at Gal on the TV or should he look directly at the camera? Finally he decided to just stare up and not look either way.
#9: Foot or Food?
Gal Gadot’s Israeli accent became the official Amazonian accent in the Wonder Woman films. During an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, her accent also helped her win a popular game on the show called “Box of lies”. In this game both Jimmy and his guest have to describe a strange looking object that only they can see, and the other person has to guess if they're being lied to or not. In this case Gal’s accent threw Jimmy off balance, as he couldn’t understand her pronunciation of the word “foot”. Jimmy was so confused that he couldn’t get a read on whether she was lying. And if that wasn’t enough the rest of her description was even funnier.
#8: BobSponge
Movie stars can spend entire weeks promoting their movie, doing interviews and press junkets, answering the same questions over and over. It can be exhausting. That’s why when an actor is asked an unpredictable question, you often get an unpredictable answer. In one interview, Gal Gadot and Chris Pine were asked to play a game where they had to trade places with other famous duos. After Chris volunteered to be the Robin to Gal’s Batman, they had to make a choice between SpongeBob and Squidward ... The mistake becomes a bit clearer clear when you understand that in Hebrew the Bob comes before the Sponge
#7: Gal Gadot’s Physique
Top 10 Funniest Kristen Wiig Moments
These days we’re so used to seeing Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman it’s easy to forget all the negative backlash that came with her initial casting. Some fans who grew up with the comic book character and the Lynda Carter TV show were outraged at the casting of a slim model and actress as an Amazonian warrior. They complained about her muscles, her physique, and even her breasts! However, after seeing Gal’s portrayal of Wonder Woman on the big screen, most of the negativity towards her has faded away. And if a complaint does surface, Gal ricochets it away like a bullet from a gun.
#6: Hebrew Lesson
When Vanity Fair invited Gal Gadot to teach their viewers some Hebrew slang, she suddenly realized that a few of her most used everyday phrases sound pretty odd when translated literally. Some words, like “yalla” and “esh” were simple to explain. However, others, such as the phrase “para para”, were not so easy! Then there was the phrase “shtuyot bamitz”, which also took some explaining. Somehow though, even “crap in juice” sounds good when Gal says it. Wonder if we could make any of these work in English … you know, without sounding like a, um, “goat”. [broll: “Ma Ani, Ez?” which means ‘what am I, a goat?’ and the meaning of “ma ani ez” is basically ‘what am i, a dummy dum?’ ‘i’m not stupid’ you know what i mean? That’s what it means]
#5: Gal & Krissy
Top 10 Funniest Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Moments
In “Wonder Woman 1984” Gal Gadot and Kristen Wiig play co-workers at the Smithsonian Institution who soon become friends, despite their very different personalities. Judging by Gal’s instagram page, this friendship extends beyond the silver screen. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins recounted in interviews that Gal and Kristen had so much fun together on set during filming, it was sometimes hard to get them to stop playing and start working! One Instagram post in particular featuring the two together has just the right amount of cringe to make us laugh.
#4: A New Theme Song
Top 10 Funniest Timothée Chalamet Moments
Our next entry returns us to the press junkets that Gal Gadot and Chris Pine did together, this time to the moment when Gal revealed something she is … NOT so good at it. That is: coming up with songs on the spot! When asked to come up with a new “Wonder Woman” theme song, Gal and Chris look visibly bewildered until Gal opens her mouth and starts singing. We believe she was trying to sing “I’m Every Woman” by Whitney Houston but she didn’t really know the words. Naturally though, Chris, being the gentleman he is, joined in with her awkward singing.
#3: Halloween Plans
Top 10 Celebs Who Bring It Every Halloween
As someone who spent most of her life in Israel, Gal Gadot loves to try new things she only saw in the movies before her career took off. This includes visiting famous locations, eating new foods and trying new traditions. While she was a guest on his show, Jimmy Kimmel asked her if she was going to dress up as Wonder Woman for Halloween. While that idea didn’t enthuse her, she did say that she would try out another Halloween tradition - Trick or Treat. What would YOU do if you opened your door and Wonder Woman herself was standing at the doorway?
#2: Drinking Eggnog
Top 10 Inspiring Times Celebrities Quit Drinking
On the subject of Gal Gadot trying new things, on the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon at Christmas time, the two decided to trade traditional foods and beverages. Gal had a hard time hiding her worried face when Jimmy asked her to drink EggNog for the first time in her life. Gal finally took a little sip of the eggnog and did her best to be gentle with her words, but it was obvious she did not like it at all. But her revenge came quickly as she presented Jimmy with a jar of Gefilte Fish. Jimmy was gagging at first, but after actually trying it his opinion on the dish changed.
#1: Wonder Bloopers
Top 10 Funniest Betty White Bloopers
Everyone loves a good blooper reel! Superhero movie blooper reels in particular always guarantee a few chuckles, showing superhuman characters making very human goofs and gaffes. The “Wonder Woman” blooper reel is no exception - in no small part thanks to Gal Gadot’s adorable snicker!
