Gal Gadot headlines this week's edition of "amazing women doing amazing things while pregnant"—à la Serena Williams revealing recently that she was pregnant when she won the 2017 Australian Open. Gadot, it seems, did her Wonder Woman reshoots while five months into her pregnancy.
The Israeli actress told Entertainment Weekly that while filming some final shots for the upcoming superhero film at Leavesden Studios outside London in November, her growing midsection didn't exactly mesh with the Wonder Woman scenes at hand, explaining that the costume department replaced part of the front of her armor with Kermit-colored green fabric that could be digitally altered later on.
"On close-up I looked very much like Wonder Woman," the actress said. "On wide shots, I looked very funny, like Wonder Woman pregnant with Kermit the Frog."
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins told EW that Gadot's work ethic was a sight to behold. "There are so many things we asked her to do: Now do it on one foot. Now shout while you're doing it. Now it's raining in the freezing cold and you've lost your voice, go. Every day was a hilarious gauntlet, and she would do it," Jenkins said.
Gadot, 31, who gave birth to her second daughter, Maya, in March, recently spoke with W about the experience of being pregnant on set. "I found out I was pregnant while shooting Justice League, [an upcoming DC Comics film out in November]. I had terrible [migraines](http://www.self.com/topic/migraines). I would show up in dark glasses and they all thought I was going Hollywood, but I was only pregnant," Gadot said.
Yes, that means Gadot was pregnant while portraying a world-saving badass in both Wonder Woman (which is currently out and a certified box office smash) and November's Justice League. We'd say her casting as Wonder Woman is pretty spot on.
