JERUSALEM – A cinema in Israel has been named after Gal Gadot, star of blockbuster hit Wonder Woman.

“Gal Gadot, an Israeli actress, brings honour to this country,” spokesman Orna Yosef for the town of Upper Nazareth said.

“This is a message for our young people because Gal Gadot is an example of success, who has shown that dreams can be attained.”

Gadot, 32, won the Miss Israel beauty pageant in 2004, aged 18.

After her two-year compulsory military service, she went into modelling and then films, breaking into Hollywood with a role in 2009’s Fast And Furious.

The Gal Cinema, which has two screens, opened officially yesterday with a showing of Israeli director Eran Riklis’ thriller Shelter.

Israeli daily Yediot Aharanot said cinema closures in the area meant that until now residents had to make a round trip of around 80km to see a film in the coastal city of Haifa.
