"Wonder Woman" 2017 reboot has magnanimously boosted Gal Gadot's place to stardom. Even Hollywood insiders and outside observers have not seen her upcoming share of popularity in the critical audience spectrum. Imagining her immense success, how could this gal from a faraway Israeli city Tel Aviv reacted to the biggest news of her entire life and eventually handled the pressure of donning the iconic screen heroine?
Her reaction? It's priceless
Thanks to Jimmy Fallon for inviting Lady Gadot in his late-night program "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon," we are granted the opportunity to hear first hand the way she reacted to the good news.
During the show's "Box of Lies" segment, Fallon dig in and asked how Gadot get to wear the "Wonder Woman" costume for a movie role.
She explained that everything about her audition was unknown to her. She was not aware that Zack Snyder secretly gave her a chance at "Wonder Woman" which the latter called "a secret role." Prior to the said addition, the Israeli actress has already had thoughts of leaving acting because of casting and the rejection that follows after it has been tough for her to handle. In fact, by that time, she and her husband are already expecting a baby. (Yes, she is already taken.)

Back to her sassy narrative, she agreed to go for the secret audition, got the sides and deliver her lines. The audition went well, and she made a comeback movie in Israel. When she received a phone call from her agent asking her for a camera test, she was so hesitant and erupted with the question, "What am I being testing for?"
Two days later, Snyder called again to explain what the role was.
When he divulged that she has been screened for "Wonder Wonder," she had no other words but, "Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll be there. Done." Snapping her way to mega-stardom.
Dealing with quantum physics first
The funny part followed when Fallon asked her if she was able to share the news with anyone. The actress shared that by the time she had the part she just landed on 15-hour flight to Los Angeles.
She recalled that she was sitting next to a Professor who tried very hard to teach her Quantum Theory.
She finds it super interesting and very complicated at the same time. Her entire flight revolves about the topic of quantum physics with the professor. However, she admits that she has not understood but finds it pretty interesting.
When their plane landed, she received the news but immediately advised not to tell it to anyone. Surprised, she went on screaming, "Oh! My God!" several times on top of her lungs and noticed that the professor and the entire crew was looking at her. The friendly professor rushed to her aid and asked if she is okay.
She was not able to respond truthfully to him but gave him a shout out on national TV that she was actually chosen as "Wonder Woman" that time.
