Israeli actress, Gal Gadot, on Tuesday, shared a picture of herself, taken around the time she was on the verge of quitting acting. The picture was shot by the filmmaker Zack Snyder on the day Gal did the camera test for Batman vs. Superman movie with Ben Affleck. She was soon cast as Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe which not only turned her fortunes but also made her a global superstar and "Wonder Woman" franchise one of the most loved across the world.

Gadot took to her Instagram handle and shared a black-and-white picture. She wrote, "This photo was taken by Zack Snyder on the day I did the camera test for Batman vs. Superman with Ben. I came to LA for 30 hours while shooting a movie in Tel Aviv. But I wanted the role of Wonder Woman so much that it was worth the trip".



I'll forever be grateful to Zack for casting me and believing that I could bring Diana to life. I had no idea what the future would hold back when this picture was taken - seeing it makes me very nostalgic. It's also proof that everything happens for a reason. I was on the verge of giving up acting... and then this happened", she added.
