Gal Gadot reveals she struggled with her acting career before being casted in Wonder Woman .

The famous 35-year-old actress shared with her fans that she was “getting ready to just move back to Tel Aviv and just have a life there,” because she was tired of the Hollywood life and was “done” with auditions.

Gal has been recognized as a “role model for young women” following the success of the 2016 film.

Debuting in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice directed by Zack Snyder, the Israeli actress catapulted to fame with her iconic role, also appearing in Justice League (2017).

Gal took to social media to share an emotional post with a black and white photo, from the day she did her camera test for her first film with Ben Affleck.
