Gal Gadot says ‘pressure’ to speak out against Israel caused ‘Snow White’ movie to flop
Gal Gadot revealed she believes the “pressure” placed on celebrities to speak against Israel played a role in her Disney film, “Snow White,” tanking at the box office.
“I was sure this movie was going to be a huge hit. And then it happened,” she said, referencing the Oct. 7 attacks, in a clip from her interview on Israeli TV.
The video which started circulating on social media Friday showed Gadot speaking to a room of young people where she explained her stance on the controversial film.
“And what followed, as you know what happened a lot in various industries including Hollywood, there’s pressure on celebrities to speak against Israel,” she continued.
“I can always explain and try to give context about what’s happening here and I always do that. But, in the end, people make their own decisions.”
“I was disappointed the movie was so affected and it didn’t succeed at the box office,” she closed, shrugging it off as she added, “That’s how it goes. You win some, you lose some.”
A rep for Gadot did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for further comment.
As many may recall, the film’s two main stars were also embroiled in a big controversy around the time of the Disney movie’s release.
Insiders noted that Gadot, 40, and Rachel Zegler clashed while making the movie due to them having “nothing in common.”
A source also told People that their “huge age gap” and “very different political views” only added to the tension on set.
Zegler, 24, has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine throughout the Israel-Hamas war.
Meanwhile, Gadot, who was born in Israel and served in the Israeli army, has been a proud supporter of her home country amid its ongoing war.
The children’s film experienced a sleepy opening weekend in March as it failed to clear its goal of $100 million at the box office, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The slow tanking then pushed execs at Disney to hit pause on its live-action remake of “Tangled.”
