Now, the Fast and Furious star feels that she and the comic book heroine are one. "But [director] Patty [Jenkins] and Chris [Pine] and I became family and this character became second nature to me," she added. "I actually think about the character in things that I do in my real life. I think about whether something is appropriate for Wonder Woman. She's become a big part of me."

In fact, Gadot revealed that she wasn't aware that she was up for the role of Wonder Woman, admitting that the secretive nature of her auditions kept her in the dark for some time. 

"The whole process of the auditions was so confidential that I didn't even realize at first I was testing for Wonder Woman. Once I was told, I was super stoked and excited because I knew she was such a household name," she recalled, adding, "That movie's success made me feel like we could make a change and have these changes matter." 

Despite portraying one of the most famous characters of all time, Gadot assured that she never expected Wonder Woman to become the massive success that it is today.
