Gal Gadot on the 'Disappointment' of ‘Snow White' Flopping and Working With Rachel Zegler: 'We Had Fun'
Gal Gadot is opening up for the first time about the commercial failure of Disney's Snow White and shuts down reports of a strained relationship with co-star Rachel Zegler. 'I really enjoyed filming that movie, I really had fun', said Gadot during an appearance on Israeli TV show The A Talks, which aired Thursday. 'Even working alongside Rachel Zegler. We laughed and we talked, we had fun. I was positive the movie was going to be a huge hit. And then Oct. 7 happened, and what happened all over in different industries, not just Hollywood, there was a lot of pressure put on celebrities, actors, creators to post against Israel. And it happened. I can always explain and try to give people in the world context about the situation and the reality in Israel, and I always do that. But at the end, people make up their own minds. And I was disappointed that the movie was incredibly affected by all of that and that it didn't do well at the box office. But it is what it is, you win some, you lose some.'

Each episode sees a celebrity facing a group of atypical journalists, all with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), for a no-holds-barred and heartfelt Q&A session. The original series, airing on France 2 since 2022, included such guests as President of France Emmanuel Macron and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard. In Israel, the show is hosted by model turned actress and TV personality, Rotem Sela, who is one of Gadot's closest friends. The Wonder Woman actress and her family are spending the summer in Israel after wrapping filming of the upcoming action thriller The Runner in the U.K. a few weeks ago, where she was met with protests. 'I filmed a movie in London, Jaron my husband and our two eldest daughters stayed in Los Angeles, and I was in London with our two youngest daughters. And I was on location outside of London, so my parents and the nanny had the girls with them. All of a sudden, I felt incredibly lonely. During filming, I was targeted by pro-Palestinian protesters that decided to target and attack me personally. It was a difficult experience, very complicated and unpleasant. I felt alone.' Asked whether that changed during her current visit in Israel, she stated, 'I feel most safe in Israel, despite all the missile attack alarms and what's happening. It has now gotten much more complicated being Israeli outside of Israel. When I'm not in Israel, working elsewhere, I always have security detail'. Gadot later explained why she didn't wear the yellow ribbon pin, symbolling solidarity with the 50 Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, to the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet, which upset some Israelis. 'I am Israeli and a proud one at that. I was invited to the Globes to present an award. And with those circumstances, there are a lot of collaborations, brands that are involved, and it's quite complicated. It did not feel right to wear the pin for work. It might have been a mistake.' Gadot also talked about her emergency brain surgery in March 2024, which she opened up about last December, her breakout role in Wonder Woman ('Chris Pine got paid more than me, and I was Wonder Woman!'), and her biggest career regret was guest-starring on HBO's Entourage in 2009. 'I hated filming Entourage, didn't have fun at all.' she revealed. 'Some guy was inappropriate with me on set until it reached a point where I quit in the middle, left the set and never went back to film with them.' When asked if she thinks she is a good actress, Gadot replied, 'I think I'm solid, I'm alright. There are those who are more talented than me. But if you cast me, you cast well. Because my biggest strength is that I am not afraid to work hard and that I never let anything stand in my way. I just go, go, go.'

UFC 319 video: Alexander Hernandez pulls off buzzer-beating TKO of Chase Hooper
Alexander Hernandez pulled off a stunning first-round finish on the UFC 319 prelims. It was a buzzer-beating TKO stoppage in the opening frame for Hernandez (17-8 MMA, 9-7 UFC), who found Chase Hooper's chin to end their lightweight bout at 4:58. Hooper came forward throughout the round, offering a variety of kicks and spinning attacks. Hernandez stayed light on his feet, defensively sound, and struck when he saw an opening. He found a home for the right hand that dropped Hooper (16-4-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC), and the follow-up punches prompted referee Jason Herzog to stop the fight just before the round ended. Check out video of the finish below (via Instagram): With the win, Hernandez extends his winning streak to three, as he entered following decision wins over Austin Hubbard and Kurt Holobaugh. During his post fight interview, Hernandez didn't have a name ready to call out, but he wanted a spot on the Noche UFC card, which takes place in his hometown of San Antonio on Sept. 13. Hooper sees his five-fight winning streak come to an end. His previous loss was also a first-round TKO stoppage against Steve Garcia in October 2022. Up-to-the-minute UFC 319 results include:

Itauma KOs Whyte in first round in non-title heavyweight fight
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Moses Itauma cemented his status as a heavyweight title contender by scoring a first-round knockout over Dillian Whyte on Saturday. Just 20 years old, Itauma unloaded on the veteran Whyte and dropped him with a right hook before casually walking to the neutral corner while the referee counted. Whyte staggered as he got to his feet, and the referee waved it off with 63 seconds remaining in the opening round. Itauma improved to 13-0 and all 11 of his stoppages have come in either the first or second round. Whyte (31-4, 21 KOs) was seen as Itauma's best opponent to date, as the 37-year-old Londoner has shared the ring with the likes of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. ___ AP boxing:
