Gal Gadot, the Wonder Woman of both the big screen and the blazing hot wings challenge, recently made her spicy debut on the renowned YouTube show “Hot Ones.” In this season’s finale, released on Wednesday, the actress stepped into the fiery ring to devour increasingly spicy chicken wings while discussing her remarkable career.

The beloved actress, famed for her role as Wonder Woman in the eponymous franchise, sat down with host Sean Evans for a wing-scorching adventure. As she savored chicken wings slathered in escalating levels of heat, Gadot delved into her silver screen successes, including her roles in the Fast & Furious series and her upcoming Netflix spy thriller, “Heart of Stone.”

With her infectious charm, Gadot, 38, revealed she was well-prepared for the mouth-numbing challenge, thanks to some insider tips from friends. As the wings brought the heat, she humorously shared, “Try not to let it touch the lips,” echoing advice from fellow actor Alia Bhatt, a co-star in her upcoming Netflix project. As Gadot playfully demonstrated the technique, it was clear she was a wing-eating warrior.

The conversation took an unexpected turn as Gadot reminisced about her days as a pageant queen. Winning the 2004 Miss Israel title was, in her own words, a shock. She candidly shared her initial intentions of participating for the experience, rather than any grand ambitions of victory. The actress amusingly recalled that while she enjoyed the opening dance sequence, she never expected to take the crown.

Gadot’s path to Hollywood was just as surprising. She admitted to never dreaming of becoming an actress while growing up. The opportunity serendipitously presented itself, and her curiosity led her to fall in love with the craft.

In a particularly candid moment, Gadot revealed that her journey was not without challenges. Faced with the possibility of quitting acting due to rejection, she confessed, “I was as close as it gets.” Her determination eventually propelled her forward, and her training in the Israel Defense Forces prepared her for performing her own stunts in action-packed roles, most notably in the DC Extended Universe.

With a compelling blend of vulnerability and strength, Gadot expressed the emotional impact of watching herself in action, particularly in her role as young Wonder Woman. Her authenticity shone as she shared her experiences juggling her career and family life, which includes three daughters with her husband Jaron Varsano.

Gadot’s dedication to her craft was evident as she discussed her role in the Netflix crime thriller “Heart of Stone.” The movie, filmed before the ongoing industry strikes, promises a raw and dynamic experience that required months of intense training and preparation.

As the wings burned hotter and the conversation sizzled, Gal Gadot’s journey from pageant winner to Hollywood icon illuminated screens around the world. Her charm, resilience, and dedication have solidified her place as a true superhero – both on and off the screen.
