Almost a Quitter

Prior to landing the role of Wonder Woman, Gadot actually considered quitting acting. She said to Jimmy Fallon in May 2017, that she was about to give up on Hollywood before she got a call for a “secret” audition. “The rejection is tough. I was telling my husband, ‘I’m not sure how long I can take it,'” she said “The audition went great . . . but I still didn’t know if I wanted to continue acting.” Then her agent called, said that the secret role was for Wonder Woman, and she had landed the part. Yay!
