Fans of Gal will notice that, though she enjoys the privileges of her life as an actress, she is also devoted to her family. She has been married for over ten years and is also a doting mom, daughter, and sister.
In early 2021 she announced some very exciting news on social media. Gal is pregnant with her third child! The actress posted a heartwarming photo of her, Yaron, and her two daughters in the announcement post.
Smaller Appearances
Given her work ethic, Gal is not opposed to taking on smaller projects, whether it is voicing an animated character, endorsing a product, or even briefly appearing in a music video.
That’s right, fans may have missed it, but Gal made an appearance in Maroon 5’s 2018 music video with Cardi B called "Girls Like You." In the video, she also appeared alongside comedian Sarah Silverman, Olympian Aly Raisman, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Lopez, and more.
Her SNL Stint
For many celebrities, once a certain level of fame has been achieved, hosting "Saturday Night Live" becomes a right of passage. Gal had “truly arrived” when she was also awarded the opportunity to host SNL in 2017.
She, of course, began with an opening monologue, and one of the hilarious skits was centered around her Wonder Woman role while the others were equally amusing. Even those who were unfamiliar with her "Wonder Woman" role could appreciate the star’s sense of humor.
Staying Busy
With a new baby, you would think Gal may slow down, but she has many exciting projects in the works. Her next film to be released is "The Red Notice," which is set to be released sometime in 2021 on Netflix.
Additionally, Wonder Woman fans can rejoice as the third installment in the franchise has been announced. She will also star in upcoming films like "Death on the Nile," "Justice League Part 2," "Heart of Stone and Cleopatra."
Criticism Over Cleopatra
One of Gal’s many upcoming projects is the film "Cleopatra" Believe it or not; Gal also garnered criticism for this film. Despite her Middle Eastern roots, critics called the casting in the film “whitewashed” and have expressed the desire to see an African or Arab cast in the lead role of the historical figure.
Gal defended her placement in the role by reminding critics that Cleopatra was actually Macedonian in origin and that there simply were not others who would have been as well suited for the part. In all actuality, historians believe Cleopatra to be of a mixed origin.
