Gal Gadot's Star-Studded Walk of Fame Debut Marred by Political Protests
- Protest-induced delay in the conducting of the ceremony
In a dramatic turn of events, Israeli actress Gal Gadot (39) hit the famous sidewalk of Hollywood on Tuesday, bagging her very own star on the legendary Walk of Fame. The celebratory event took a turn for the turbulent when a heated confrontation between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators caused a 15-minute delay. Amidst the chaos, Gadot managed to keep her composure.
Family First and Forever
In her heartfelt speech, Gal Gadot highlighted her profound gratitude towards her husband, Jaron Varsano. The mother of four - Alma (13), Maya (8), Daniella (3), and Ori (1) - acknowledged Jaron for being her constant source of inspiration: "He's always reminded me to dream big and be free, no matter what I want to do."
Gadot reiterated that everything she does, she does for her children. "They're the ones who allow me to follow my passion and work hard to achieve my dreams. They're my inspiration every single day."
Keeping Silent on Politics
After the Hamas terror attack on Israel in October 2023, which reportedly claimed over 1,200 lives, Gadot shared her political views. Recently, however, the actress has decided to steer clear of the political arena: "Who cares what a celebrity thinks about politics? I'm an artist, and my focus is on entertaining people, being a beacon of hope in this crazy world," she said to Variety ahead of the ceremony.
But she couldn't remain silent about the October 2023 attack. As a granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, she felt compelled to advocate for the hostages. "...I know what I stand for, and I know what I wish for the world. I pray for better times for everyone, for a world where everyone can live in peace and prosperity."
