Wonder Woman talks about people mispronouncing her name

by Staff writer

“Wonder Woman” and “Justice League” star Gal Gadot constantly struggles with people mispronouncing her name.

In a new GQ interview, the actress revealed people get her name wrong “probably 60% of the time.”

She previously helped reporters and fans pronounce her last name correctly while doing press tours for “Wonder Woman” this past summer, explaining that it has a “T” sound at the end.


GQ’s Caity Weaver writes, “Her confusing advice is that the T is pronounced as ‘a lighter T…a softer T.


Watch Gadot say her name during a Jimmy Kimmel interview below:



Gadot is far from the only celebrity to constantly deal with having her name mispronounced.

1. Thandie Newton
