In addition to all of her other activities as a child, Gal also took dance lessons. She really enjoyed dancing and took lessons in many forms of dance. She was so good that, reportedly, she could have pursued it professionally had her life not gone in the direction that it did.
Ballet, hip-hop, and jazz were all styles that Gal was able to explore. Due to her diverse interests, Gal may have never imagined that she would one day end up a famous actress.
The Rival Franchise
Before she was the star of the DC Comics movie franchise, Gal was almost pulled into the Marvel universe. In 2013, Gal said she actually auditioned for a role in a Marvel movie at one time.
She said that the role would have required her to shave off her long hair and be covered from head to toe in blue paint. In the end, Karen Gillan was the one to be the hairless, blue character of Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy.
The Need For Speed
While it may be easy to credit her time in the IDF with her ability to do her own stunts, Gal has another past secret. Though she has now put it in her past, Gal used to be an avid biker and enjoyed hopping on a motorcycle and hitting the open road.
It was after she became a mom that she decided to choose safer forms of transportation. She now keeps her adrenaline satisfied through her workouts and her action roles. A well-rounded woman, she also chooses calmer forms of physical activity like dancing to stay active.
Getting Behind The Camera
Gal’s big-picture mindset has not only made her a well-rounded person but has also given her an edge in the show business world. With her love for filmmaking in full bloom, Gal and Yaron decided to start their own production company. In 2019, they launched Pilot Wave Productions with the goal of selecting and telling their own stories on the big screen.
The couple released a statement about their new venture that outlined their plans to deliver unique content about interesting people with interesting stories to tell.
A New Role
Pilot Wave Productions was taking shape before 2020. Like the rest of the entertainment industry, the production company also had to place their projects on hold. One of the proposed projects coming out of Pilot Wave is a limited series for Showtime.
In it, Gal herself will portray the legendary actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. Hedy Lamarr was a fascinating and brilliant woman who was more than just a movie star. She also assisted in the invention of an extremely complex frequency system for missiles too.
