Gal Gadot on Wonder Woman struggles
When Wonder Woman hit theaters, Gal Gadot was navigating postpartum recovery while managing a significant back injury that left her feeling miserable. She had welcomed her second child just eight weeks before promotion kicked off, so the physical toll made it impossible to be present for the film's success. Even though she felt satisfied with how well the movie did, she couldn't enjoy the moment because there was such a disconnect between where she stood personally and the outside world's positive reception.

Yeah. So we were super invested and and then the movie comes out. It was amazing, but I wasn't popping. Okay. To be fair, I was going through. So I was going through a postpartum. I had my second one and she was eight weeks old when we started promoting the movie. And I had a major back injury. Oh, okay. So I was miserable. yeah and then so when the movie opened I was very happy and and I felt satisfied with the success but I wasn't happy you did it yeah it was it didn't there wasn't there was some kind of a symmetry between where I was yes personally in my own life in my own body to what the outside world yeah okay so That kind of answers my next question, which is so often, I think, for many of us who get lucky, it's weirdly hard to be present for it. Because the the lucky event. Can potentially lead to lots of opportunity, lots of options, lots of shit in the future. It signals. Oh, wow.
