Gal Gadot Too Skinny for Wonder Woman? The 29-year-old beauty has signed up to play the DC Comics character in three films, including the upcoming Man of Steel sequel and a standalone Wonder Woman film.
She insists she’s unfazed by talk of her figure as if the films were to be truly accurate, her character would only have one breast.
‘They said that I was too skinny and my boobs were too small,’ she told Robot Underdog. ‘When I was younger I would take criticism really hard. But now it mostly amused me. The true amazons had one boob so it won’t bother them in their archery. So it’s not going to be like real amazons. We always try to make everyone happy but we can’t.’
The Israeli actress went on to admit she’s developed thick skin over the years as she’s received more than her fair share of criticism for her tiny physique.
She added: ‘After they asked me here, in Israel, if I have eating disorders and why am I so skinny, they said my head was too big and my body was like a broomstick, I can take anything. It’s just empty talk. I understand that part of what I’m doing means being exposed. And part of being exposed is being under fire.’

(depending on which of her many origin stories the new films are using) Wonder Woman’s powers come from the ancient Greek Gods.
It doesn’t really matter if she is skinny or built like a shot putter her powers are not a manifestation of her physical appearance.
