Key takeaways 5
Gal Gadot underwent nine months of daily training with an Olympic trainer to prepare for the physical demands of 'The Runner', resulting in her finishing the movie on crutches.
The film 'The Runner' required Gadot to perform actual sprinting and running scenes rather than relying entirely on stunt doubles, though a stuntwoman handled wide shots.
Gadot's preparation involved specific foot-strengthening exercises, including walking on ropes, to handle the impact of downhill running.
She revealed that she intentionally tried to lose the Miss Israel pageant by smoking and eating pizza, but still won, leading to her participation in Miss Universe.
Gadot auditioned for Wonder Woman using a scene from 'Pulp Fiction' and initially feared rejection due to past experiences in Hollywood.
