Israeli actress and international superstar Gal Gadot has granted an exclusive interview to the new season of Special Interview on Keshet 12. 'Special Interview' is the acclaimed Israeli version of "The A Talks", where celebrities are questioned by a panel of interviewers on the autism spectrum.

This marks the first time in years that Gadot has sat down for an extended, unscripted conversation with Israeli media. Unlike her previous brief media rounds tied to Hollywood film releases, this appearance presents a far more intimate and vulnerable side of the actress.

In the emotional segment, Gadot recounts a harrowing health scare during a recent pregnancy, revealing she discovered a life-threatening blood clot in her brain. “You suddenly realize what it means to be afraid of death,” she shared. She described being rushed to the operating room and undergoing procedures with limited anesthesia.

“They took the baby out. The next day, they did a cerebral angiogram. It was terribly frightening. We were in intensive care for weeks, and slowly, slowly we got out of it.” When asked whether the clot could have gone undetected, Gadot didn’t shy away: “Yes. If I hadn’t found out and had the baby, I would have died—and probably so would the baby.”

The program, hosted by Rotem Sela, is based on a French format that eschews conventional boundaries, allowing interviewers to ask any question without limitations. The result is often raw and remarkably candid conversations. According to Anat Stalinsky, the show’s director and editor-in-chief, Gadot embraced this atmosphere fully.
