Gal Gadot reveals that she draws inspiration from Princess Diana’s ‘compassion’ to play Wonder Woman … whose alter ego is also called Diana
Wonder Woman’s alter ego is a princess named Diana.
And Gal Gadot has revealed that, in interpreting the character, she draws inspiration from the real princess Diana of the British royal family.
The 35-year-old actress tells Vanity Fair that the late Princess of Wales’ ‘compassion’ had an influence on how she approached the role.

Gal appeared on Cocktail Hour Live magazine! shows: ‘I remember watching a documentary about Princess Diana, like the real royal, the English Princess Diana.’
She remembers that ‘there was a part where they said she was always, she was full of compassion and that she always cared for the people.’
A bell rang in Gal’s head and she decided, ‘This must be the Wonder Woman we have, and it’s fully communicating what you just mentioned about compassion, because you know, I wanted to portray a character that people will know, you know, will be inspired by, but also be able to relate to.
While Princess Diana was married to Prince Charles, she became known for exposing tenderness such as embracing a child with AIDS.
