Then, look no further!

After her first year at University however, she was called to audition for the role in 'Quantum of Solace' - the role that would eventually go to Olga Kurylenko. Whilst unsuccessful, the Casting Director hired her for the role of Gisele Yashar in 'Fast and Furious' in 2009 - the fourth instalment of the hugely successful franchise. She followed up her debut film role in the Steve Carell and Tina Fey film Directed by Shaun Levy 'Date Night' in 2010, with the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz actioner helmed by James Mangold 'Knight and Day' later that same year. Gadot returned to the 'Fast and Furious' franchise in 2011 and again in 2013 reprising her role as the former Mossad Agent, Gisele Yashar in 'Fast Five' and then 'Fast and Furious 6' where her character is killed off saving the life of her lover. She reappears in 'Furious 7' but in flashback archival footage only.


In the meantime 'Criminal' is due for imminent release with Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones and Ryan Reynolds. In post-production is 'Keeping Up With The Joneses' - a comedy caper starring Jon Hamm, Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher.
She also has a successful modelling career promoting brands such as Captain Morgan, Gucci and Jaguar. Gadot has also appeared on the cover of 'Glamour', 'Cosmopolitan', 'FHM' and 'Bride' magazine.
Gadot has twenty Acting credits to her name and has her work cut out for her already for the next three years or so at least playing the superhero type. In 2008 she married Israeli property developer Yaron Versano with whom she has a daughter Alma, born in late 2011. The family live in Tel Aviv.
