With her new film Heart of Stone, the multi-talented celebrity, known for her acting, producing, and business skills, is shaping her own destiny.
Gal Gadot is a woman of many roles, from actor to producer to entrepreneur and mother. She is always busy, struggling to unwind and constantly craving new experiences. Recently, she has been working on the Netflix spy thriller Heart of Stone, which she helped develop from concept to screen. She is also venturing into the world of villainy in next year’s Disney live-action musical Snow White. Despite her success, she admits to experiencing impostor syndrome and strives to carry on the legacy of her Holocaust survivor grandfather. In this interview with L’OFFICIEL, Gadot discusses her projects and her drive to make the most of life.
Gal Gadot recently shared her experience of narrating a video for visitors at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the infamous concentration camp where her grandfather survived. The actress agreed to narrate the video without knowing what she was about to share. Her grandfather lost his entire family in the camp, and it was too painful for him to discuss the trauma for a long time. However, after her grandmother’s death, he opened up to share his entire story. Gal feels privileged to come full circle with her grandfather and carry the legacy of love, forgiveness, compassion, and teaching people to be good to prevent such atrocities from happening again. She believes that love, acceptance, community, and compassion are essential for society’s progress, not division, hate, fear, or envy.
