Gal Gadot says she once thought she was way too serious and smart to be an actress and so refused to ditch her studies to audition for a "Quantum of Solace".
The 31-year-old star was asked to audition to be a Bond girl in the film but declined because she was focused on her law and international relations studies at the time and felt it wasn't the right thing for her to do, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"I said, 'No way.' I said, 'I'm studying law and international relations. I'm way too serious and smart to be an actress, and besides, the script is all in English.' I spoke English, but I wasn't comfortable with it," Gadot says.
But while she missed out on that role, Gal was no doubt thrilled when she was signed up to play Wonder Woman in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and a standalone film amongst others.
