We know for certain that Wonder Woman exists today.

We've culled some moments when this real-life Wonder Woman has impressed us with her charm, prowess, and courage.

We've seen Wonder Woman fight off goons and other antagonists with ease. Apart from courage, she is naturally built to take on almost anyone.

It seems Gal can defend herself as well as she once participated in military service. This is how Gal learned discipline, respect and a whole lot of combat training. Although some might find this challenging, Gal thought otherwise. In an interview, Gal explained that she didn't find it difficult. But she admits that it was enough training to prepare her for Hollywood.

2. Gal Always Makes a Stand

Wonder Woman will fight for what's right and nothing can change her mind.

Like a true hero, Gal does the same. She refused to work with Brett Ratner, an American director and producer who has faced abuse allegations, on a new Wonder Woman movie. She wasn't going to sign on unless Brett was out of the picture. Victoriously, the director was fired and we now have the new Wonder Woman movie to admire.

3. She's a Feminist

The Amazons are comprised of warrior women, which only makes a feminist actress like Gal play the role quite fitting.

"Life wasn't always rosy and peachy for me as a woman in the world," Gal shared in an interview. But this is only one of her many reasons for firmly believing in equality. She has demanded equal pay and equal opportunities in Hollywood. She even tweeted out, "Feminism is not about burning bras/hating men or growing hair under the armpit. It’s simply about equality between men and women. Equal pay, equal opportunities etc. We should all be feminists".

4. Gal Is Bilingual

The Amazons use indigenous languages but can also speak with the people they encounter. Interestingly, Gal is bilingual as well.

Gal was born in Israeli which explains why she can speak Hebrew. But by third grade, Gal began learning English and further enhanced the skill when she fell in love with TV shows Friends and Seinfeld.

5. Pregnant or Not, Gal Does Her Own Stunts

Gal shared in an interview how challenging it was to train for Wonder Woman. Nevertheless, Gal has performed her stunts quite well, and this rings true every time we cheer for her during intense scenes. Because although doing her own stunts can pose a challenge for the actress, Gal's dedication and prowess shows, especially when the actress went on to shoot stunt scenes for Justice League and Wonder Woman when she was pregnant.
