It’s always good to see celebrities behaving well. Perhaps her military service was an influence, as it is for so many. Or perhaps Gal Godot is just a good human being. At the very least, she’s convincingly playing the part, as Fox News reports:
Gal Gadot donned her fake superhero outfit to do some real-world heroics over the weekend. The actress sported her costume from “Wonder Woman” to visit a children’s hospital.
The actress, 33, arrived to cheer up some of the kids being treated at Inova Children’s Hospital in Annadale, Va., according to Variety. The actress appeared in the 2016 hit ‘Wonder Woman’ for the DC comics extended universe (DCEU). She will appear again in ‘Wonder Woman 1984.
The star can be seen numerous photos from the occasion visiting children in the hospital sporting her costume. It’s unclear if she stayed in character for the kids, but the staff were clearly excited for the big event.
It appears stardom has not gone to Gadot’s head, as this excerpt from a GQ interview suggests (she’s home in Israel):
At her neighborhood bakery, Gadot patiently translates literally the entire menu for me, without skipping or summarizing any items. ‘This is mushroom quiche, sweet-potato quiche, tomato-and-olives quiche, pretzel, cinnamon pretzel, pistachio-chocolate Danish, raspberry Danish, vanilla-and-raisins Danish, chocolate brioche, almond-chocolate brioche, just almond brioche, chocolate croissant, butter croissant, chocolate-and-almond croissant, which is wow…’ It takes a few minutes. She knows every employee of the bakery, as well as many of the patrons, and just about everyone in Israel comes up to say hello. The employees talk to her about yeast. Her hot husband swings by and kisses her on the lips. She has a long conversation with the son of a neighbor, regarding a fish recipe.
Perhaps one day, Godot will do or say something to disabuse me of the notion that she’s a class act–that’s all too common with celebrities–but for now, I’ll be seeing all of her movies, and thinking well of her.

Mike, I completely agree. I had been saving “Wonder Woman” and watched it for the first time the other night. Ms. Godot is a very impressive lady.

That’s what I like about badass women, including cops, sk8ter girls, biker chicks, and IDF drill instructors.
The tougher they are, the sweeter they are.

I appreciate badass women as well as you. I actually can accept them even being liberal, if they are liberal in the old meaning of the word, that of just seeking social improvement for those less fortunate than others. Not at the point of a gun, but rather through charitable acts such as this one shown here. Obviously her upbringing had a lot to do with how she acts now.
Like I said, I am a Constitution loving conservative who doesn’t hate liberals, so long as they don’t try to force their beliefs on me, or to put their hand in my pocket. I truly believe that our country needs both sides of the aisle in order to have healthy debate on some topics which are frankly, quite difficult to deal with, and since they will affect all, should have at least a seat at the table for all.
I am not naive enough to think that liberals are always benevolent types, who willingly allow those conservatives to live and let live. I am just saying that I wish they did, so that we could have discussions with them, instead of them just demanding us to follow their rules as laid out by the Democratic leadership for years now.
I have to agree 100% though, Gal Godot seems to be a class act, who gives of her time and talent to bring some sunshine to children, and for that alone, I give her a pass, until she does something to deserve my loss of confidence in her. She has done more than all of the liberals in Hollywood have done, who simply write checks, and then pat themselves on the back at their parties. The wealthy give a piece of their worldly possessions to these young people. I was working with the 7 and 8 graders in high school once, on Wednesday nights, to try and teach them about Jesus’ death , burial, and resurrection. I found that kids at that age, about

That age, about 12, can be mean to each other. But they can be caring as well. I have found when taking them to visit places like nursing homes, or hospitals with sick toddlers, it changes not the kids or the elderly so much as it changes the Jr. High Schoolers themselves. So perhaps that is what drives Gal Godot to continue onward with her outreach. It helps her feel like more than just a dancing monkey for the rich overlords.

I would love to play a game of hide the salami with this with this young
woman, but is salami Kosher? I became a Friend Of Israel back in the
early 80s when I discovered just how antisemitic the modern left had
become. I had a coworker who kept his radio tuned to NPR. A radical
communist terrorist bomber (Nelson Mandella) was a saint to the left.
They sided with the Soviet Union, Palestinian terrorists, Daniel Ortega,
Mao, the Kamer Rouge, the VC, Castro, the Rosenbergs, and even
Idi Amin!
When George Will was still a conservative, I watched him on This Week
With David Brinkley back in the early 90s. He rattled off a litany of
quotes heaping flowery praise on every communist dictator on the
planet. He then challenged the other panelist to guess the author.
The author of these quotes was Jimmy Carter! He even praised Ho
Chi Minh, Mao, and the cannibal Idi Amin. If anyone thinks that the
deep state is a recent development, they have not studied history.
FDR and HST had more Soviet spies in their administrations than
cockroaches in an inner-city crack house!
When FDR was informed that Alger Hiss was a Soviet Spy, he
promoted him. When Winston Churchill delivered his Iron
Curtain speech, Truman offered to send a U.S. battleship to
bring Stalin to America to rebut Churchill. This war has been
waged for nearly 100 years!
Things were so bad that Roosevelt’s VP before Truman was a
Soviet spy (Henry Wallace.) If FDR died a few years earlier,
there is no telling where we would be today.
