FAMILY FEUD: Gadot’s Daughters Battle Over Evil Queen Role
She may be Wonder Woman to the world, but to her daughters, Gal Gadot is just “Ima”—and a mother whose career choices spark major shade! The actress, who is set to play Queen Clementianna, the Evil Queen, in Disney’s polarizing live-action Snow White, revealed a hilarious, yet revealing, family conflict over her role.
Speaking to People, Gadot confirmed her three daughters—Alma, , Maya, five, and Daniella, one—are excited about the musical. But the excitement came with some serious baggage. Her middle child, Maya, was openly “a bit disappointed that I wasn’t Snow White.”
Gadot explained: “Because when I told them I’m gonna shoot Snow White, for the [first] month she was convinced that I’m gonna play Snow White.” The fantasy of Mom as the hero quickly shattered, proving that even A-list kids struggle with the reality of Hollywood casting.
THE SHOCKING SHADE: Alma Calls Mom ‘Appropriate’
If Maya’s disappointment was adorable, her oldest daughter’s reaction was pure, unfiltered Hollywood shade that must have stung. Gadot revealed the brutal honesty of her -year-old, Alma:
“But when I told her, ‘No, it’s the Evil Queen,’ then my oldest said, ‘Oh, how appropriate.‘”
Ouch! While the comment was likely meant in a playful, cheeky way—referencing the villainous energy needed to pull off the role—the internet immediately exploded with reactions. Fans are calling Alma the true, unbiased critic of the Gadot household. The star’s oldest child essentially confirmed that Mom has the perfect energy to play the classic, cold-hearted villain!
Gadot laughed it off, insisting her kids are “happy” and excited for the musical, especially since she’s singing in it. But the family dynamics are clearly complex, with the oldest child displaying a sharp, almost scandalous level of insight into her famous mother’s image.
THE ‘JUGGLE STRUGGLE’: A Constant State of Exhaustion
The family drama is just another layer on Gadot’s already intense life, which she openly admits is a brutal struggle to maintain. The star and her husband, Jaron Varsano—who she met at a desert party back in —are constantly managing the chaos of three children and two massive careers.
Gadot confessed that balancing work and motherhood is a “constant juggle struggle, at least for me, it’s challenging.” Her solution is one of sheer endurance: “What I keep telling myself is that I can only do my best and I’m doing my best… I’m a happier person, a better parent.”
But the exhaustion is real. She admitted her approach to parenting as a working mom involves serious sacrifice: “We are very involved in our children’s lives, so you just sleep less, you wake up earlier to be with the kids, you just stretch yourself more, but it’s all worth it,” adding the painful disclaimer: “But it’s hard, there is no recipe.“
A-List Perks: Kids Rule The Set
One of the few advantages of being an A-list action star is the ability to dictate workplace conditions. Gadot ensures her kids are integrated into her professional life, confirming that almost every set she works on, including her upcoming projects, has been “super welcoming.”
“My kids came to almost every set I’ve worked on, they’re part of it,” she proudly stated. This means the children were likely often present during the tumultuous filming of Wonder Woman and the dramatic production of her new Snow White adaptation alongside Rachel Zegler.
While this is a massive perk, having three young children constantly running around a high-pressure movie set must add layers of complexity, chaos, and noise. It confirms the “circus” nature of her household, where the boundaries between Hollywood and home life are constantly blurred.
SNOW WHITE CHAOS: Zegler’s Controversial Comments
The family drama arrives at a crucial time for the Snow White remake, which is already facing massive PR headwinds due to the controversial comments made by lead actress Rachel Zegler. Zegler has repeatedly trashed the original film’s themes, calling the classic Prince Charming a “stalker” and confirming the new film is focused on Snow White becoming a “leader,” not finding “true love.”
Gadot’s comments about her role are directly tied to this new, politicized version of the story. She is playing Queen Clementianna, the Evil Queen, who is likely intended to be a critique of traditional femininity. The whole film is designed to reject the damsel-in-distress narrative, which is why Alma’s comment about the Evil Queen being “appropriate” is so telling.
THE CLIFFHANGER: Does Alma See A Mean Streak In Her Mom?
The most shocking element of this entire family saga is the shade thrown by Gadot’s oldest daughter. Her comment that the Evil Queen role is “appropriate” is the kind of brutal honesty that only a teenager can deliver.
Does the pre-teen Alma see a mean streak in her movie-star mother? Does she see the demanding, high-energy side of her that goes into balancing her “constant struggle”? Or is it simply a playful jab at the woman who is often away filming blockbusters?
The family chaos provides a fascinating, unfiltered look at the life of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The question remains: How will Gal Gadot handle her oldest daughter’s continued, hilarious honesty as Alma enters her tumultuous teenage years?
The mirror on the wall has nothing on Alma’s honesty.
