• Gal Gadot suggested that political pressure on celebrities to speak out against Israel contributed to Disney’s Snow White underperforming at the box office, though she acknowledged other factors played a role.

  • The film, starring Gadot and Rachel Zegler, earned $87 million domestically compared to higher-performing Disney remakes; Zegler faced criticism for her pro-Palestine stance during promotion.

  • Gadot emphasized she enjoyed working with Zegler, said her “conscience is clean” regarding support for Israel, and expressed hope for peace and safety for all people.

    I don’t think she’s a terrible actress. More like middling. She really struggles with bad directors and poor scripts. She doesn’t have that geniality to inject original interpretation into her characters. I mean, I’ve seen analysis by body language acting specialists that say that all actors in snow white shared the same bad body language mistakes, and that’s a direction error. They were told to act that way, and they did. As is half of their job. The other half is saying “great, that was fun. But would you give me two or more takes to try something different?”

      Nah, she’s terrible. I’ve yet to see a scene in any movie that is better because she’s in it. Even Mark Walhberg can act better than her and he can’t act.

      That’s like the definition of a bad actor.

      What, why?
