In a retrospective of our first two decades, Jack Yan had a conversation with Gal Gadot in 2009. During that time, she was just starting to make a name for herself in Hollywood, long before she landed the iconic role of Wonder Woman. Recognizing her potential, we featured her on the cover of our magazine, with stunning photography by Andrew Matusik, hair by Jonathan Hanousek of Exclusive Artists, makeup by Elaine Offers of Exclusive Artists, and styling by Cliff Hoppus. The digital post-production was handled by DigitalRetouch.net, with assistance from Kirk Palmer. This article was originally published in issue 27 of Lucire.

The cover of Lucire magazine features Gal Gadot, a former Miss Israel and actress known for her role in Fast and Furious. She represents the modern global woman and has gained a reputation as a talented actress. Gadot clarifies the correct pronunciation of her name, emphasizing that the silent “h” in Theron and the dropped “t” in French names do not apply to her. She recalls her experience at Miss Israel and Miss Universe, where she formed close friendships with contestants from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Gadot discusses the cosmopolitan nature of Israeli culture and her consideration of moving to Los Angeles. She values her Israeli identity but has enjoyed her experiences travelling and living abroad. Gadot’s path to acting was unexpected, as she initially pursued a career in modeling after winning Miss Israel. She expresses gratitude for her role in Fast and Furious and appreciates the warm welcome she received from the cast and crew. Gadot notes the differences between the Israeli film industry and Hollywood. Despite her disappointment about not being able to fully drive her character’s Porsche in the film, she cherishes the overall experience.
The Audi TT Roadster is Gadot’s chosen car for her daily commute. She explains that although convertibles are not great for her hair, she finds them very attractive. During our conversation, Gadot let slip that she would be making guest appearances on a few episodes of the hit show Entourage, while keeping her other roles a secret. Another significant part of her life journey was her recent marriage to Yaron Versano. She expresses that she has found “the one” and acknowledges his capability to handle all the challenges in her life. Additionally, there is a possibility of Gadot visiting our shores. She fondly recalls how, during high school, her peers made travel plans after completing their military service. Many intended to explore countries like India, Taiwan, and China. Gadot, on the other hand, always dreamt of visiting New Zealand and Australia due to their awe-inspiring beauty.
