Gal’s career was really beginning to take off; she had now shared the big screen with some major stars. She starred alongside comedians Steve Carell and Tina Fey in the hilarious film “Date Night.”
Gal also landed a role next to an even bigger star when she took the role of Naomi in the action movie starring Tom Cruise, “Knight & Day.” She probably never imagined as a young girl that she would act next to the star of “Cocktail,” “Top Gun,” and “Rain Man”!
Doing Her Own Stunts
The "Fast & Furious" film franchise is known for its adrenaline rush plots and high-end action sequences. The blockbuster films have drawn audiences from around the world with car theatrics, fire, and lots of other special effects sequences.
Gal wanted to prove her worth, and so she joined the cast immediately, eager to prove herself and become a part of the cast family. She never needed to worry as she soon stood out by doing nearly all of her own action sequences and stuntwork herself.
Getting Attention
After joining the "Fast and Furious" franchise, Gal soon garnered attention from both audiences and Hollywood. Her newfound fame started to bring in more acting opportunities for the rising star. Later within the same year, she appeared on the big screen; she also appeared on the small screen.
Gal’s next opportunity was on the TV series "Entourage." She may have only appeared on one episode, but it only continued to open more doors for her. She was then cast as Olivia in "The Beautiful Life," the American teen drama.
More Than An Actress
As an actress, Gal was used to staying in different hotels around the world. Her globetrotting eventually inspired her and her husband to open their very own boutique hotel together in Tel Aviv. The Varsano is a unique stay for those stopping in Tel Aviv with its homey, low-key luxury.
The inspiration for the hotel’s design came from a hotel in LA that was made up of apartments. The couple then decided to create their own place for the weary traveler as they each harnessed their special abilities for the project. With her humble work ethic still alive and well, Gal even did the laundry at the hotel!
The Hotel Changes Hands
Gal and Yaron enjoyed the project of building a hotel from the ground up, and it was a reflection of the shared hard work and creativity in their relationship. But the hotel was, of course, not the only major project in their individual and collective lives.
In 2015, Gal and Yaron decided to sell The Versano to the incredibly wealthy Israeli-Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. Abramovich started his career by selling rubber ducks in his homeland of Russia and has been known to spend his wealth on soccer clubs and yachts. But he was also still a businessman and decided to throw down a check for $26 million for The Varsano.
