The Internet Has Not Been Kind About Gal Gadot’s Acting In The Past, But How Does She Actually Feel About Her Abilities?

by

As a dedicated film enthusiast, I’ve admired Gal Gadot’s acting prowess since her electrifying portrayal of Gisele in the Fast & Furious series. However, it was her transformation into the iconic Wonder Woman for the DCEU that truly catapulted her to stardom. The 2017 film was a resounding success, earning critical acclaim, adoration from fans, and smashing box office records. Since then, she’s graced our screens in various roles, including Snow White on the 2025 movie schedule.

Lately, there’s been a whirlwind of online criticism about her acting abilities, leading me to wonder if Gal Gadot sees herself as a talented actress. Fortunately, we now have her response to this intriguing question.

Does Gal Gadot Think She’s A Good Actress?

As a die-hard film buff, I’ve always admired Gal Gadot for her remarkable portrayal of Wonder Woman. However, since her groundbreaking success in the DCEU, there has been ongoing chatter suggesting she might not be as gifted an actress as many of us thought. Despite delivering hits like 2021’s Red Notice, which is available on Netflix, this speculation has lingered. The lead role in Death on the Nile hasn’t been kind to her, attracting a wave of negative critical reviews about her acting skills. To add to that, social media buzz shows an array of movie enthusiasts critiquing her talent in posts that have gained significant traction online.

This year’s disappointing performance of Snow White (which Gadot blamed on her political stance, but then had to clarify her comments) has only increased such talk. Recently, however, she was asked during an interview with The A Talks (via Entertainment Tonight) if she does think she’s a good actress, and the Heart of Stone star said:

I believe I’m a reliable choice, as I perform quite competently. While there are individuals who excel beyond me, if you choose to cast me, it would be a wise decision. The reason being that my greatest asset is my unwavering work ethic and the ability to overcome any obstacles in my path. I’m always eager to push forward and persevere.

Indeed, she’s quite open about identifying both her abilities and possible drawbacks, which is certainly commendable, isn’t it? It takes courage to address such questions directly, but Gadot handled it gracefully and offered a thoughtful response.

Although her response may not halt the criticism she receives for her acting, I believe even those who may be critical of her as a leading actress will acknowledge her commendable silence in the face of negative comments. Furthermore, they might appreciate that she acknowledges there is always room for improvement, a sentiment that resonates universally across all fields and aspects of life.

Snow White’s affectionate interactions with Baby Groot are adorable, but her heartfelt reminiscing about Vin Diesel and Fast & Furious brings a sweeter charm to her.

To put it another way, when responding to such questions, it’s advisable to strike a balance. You can acknowledge your accomplishments without boasting, and at the same time, demonstrate modesty by highlighting the positive aspects of your work, irrespective of any perceived outcomes. This approach helps to avoid giving off an impression that you lack qualifications or suitability for the role, while also maintaining a positive and confident demeanor.

As a movie enthusiast, I must admit that Gal Gadot’s performance has undeniably made it slightly more challenging for me (and perhaps others) to harbor any ill feelings towards her continued success in leading roles.
