‘Anything is possible,’ says Gadot, crediting her four daughters with inspiring ‘me to be a better person,’ as small pro- and anti-Israel protests staged outside ceremony

Gal Gadot received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, becoming the first Israeli actor to be awarded the honor.

Speaking at the ceremony, Gadot referred several times to her Israeli roots, even speaking some Hebrew.

“I’m just a girl from a town in Israel,” Gadot said, drawing loud cheers from her supporters in the audience. “To all the young people, especially the young girls, if a girl from Rosh Ha’ayin can get a star on Hollywood Boulevard, anything is possible.”

Gadot also addressed her Israeli family in Hebrew, saying that she loves them, even though they are far away.

The actress, best known for playing “Wonder Woman,” was accompanied by her husband Jaron Varsano, whom she called “my rock, my compass, my firefighter,” and their four daughters — Alma, 13, Maya, 8, Daniella, 3 and Ori, 13 months. “Whenever my success grew, I always got pregnant,” she joked. “I needed to ground myself.”

Speaking to her daughters, Gadot said: “Being your Imma [Hebrew for mother] is the greatest privilege of anything I have ever done. You inspire me to be a better person, to be strong and brave and kind as you are.”
