Gal Gadot’s Walk of Fame Ceremony Disrupted and Delayed by 15 Minutes – Here’s Why

Gal Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony faced unexpected delays on Tuesday, March 18. Despite a disruption, the event continued as planned, marking a milestone moment in Gadot’s career.

Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony faced hiccups when pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside. Tensions flared as the protesters from both sides arrived just before the event began, carrying signs and chanting.

Their presence led to a brief disruption before the event could proceed. Despite the area being tented off, the demonstration caused a 15-minute delay, with chants continuing throughout the ceremony. Law enforcement was called in after a pro-Palestinian protester took an Israeli flag.

Gadot, best known for her role as “Wonder Woman,” then received her star in a ceremony hosted by Hollywood Chamber of Commerce President Steve Nissen.

She was surrounded by loved ones at the ceremony, including her husband, Jaron Varsano, and their four daughters, Alma, Maya, Daniella, and Ori Varsano.

Gadot shared a sweet mother-daughter moment during her ceremony, exchanging a heartfelt kiss with one of her daughters.

Gadot was also joined by notable figures, including “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins, “Fast & Furious” co-star Mark Sinclair aka Vin Diesel, and actress Shira Haas, who all praised her career achievements.

The actress shared in their excitement, with her speech reflecting this joy. She said amidst cheers, “I’m just a girl from a town in Israel.” Gadot expressed her disbelief at the moment, admitting she never imagined becoming an actress, let alone receiving such an honor.

She emphasized that the star holds a deeper meaning for her than any award, as it is something she can share with the world. “This star will remind me that with hard work, passion, and a little faith, anything is possible,” she said, adding that it will remain long after she is gone.

In her speech, Gadot also took a moment to acknowledge her daughters, especially Alma, who was celebrating her birthday that day. “Everything I do, I do for you,” she told them.

The actress expressed that being their mother is the greatest privilege and the most meaningful role she has ever had. She thanked them for being part of her journey, allowing her to pursue her dreams, and hoped they knew they could do the same.

Gadot shared that her daughters inspire her daily to be a stronger, kinder, and braver person. Emphasizing the importance of passion and hard work, she encouraged them to chase their dreams, believing that anything is possible.

Gal Gadot’s friend, Vin Diesel also took the stage to celebrate the actress, making it clear his speech wasn’t about her career or achievements.

“How can I talk only two minutes about this angel Gal? Where would I start? Or how deep would I go?” he said. Instead, Vin Diesel focused on their personal bond, calling her his “family member” and drawing cheers from the crowd.

Vin Diesel reflected on the deep personal bond he shares with Gadot, going beyond their on-screen connection. He recalled how, after her first appearance as Gisele Yashar in “Fast & Furious,” she formed a friendship with his father.

Meanwhile, his mother praised the undeniable chemistry between their characters. Gadot was present for key moments in Vin Diesel’s life, from the birth of his daughter to the arrival of his son, earning the affectionate title of “Aunty Gal” in his household.

She was also among the first to comfort him when Paul Walker passed away, showing up at his home to wipe his tears. When Gadot married her husband, Vin Diesel expressed his joy for her, highlighting the lasting impact she has had on his life.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce also had positive things to say about the recipient of their 2,804th star. Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer shared, “Being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a testament to Gadot’s incredible talent, dedication, and impact on the entertainment industry.”

Martinez added, “It is a recognition of her hard work and contributions to the world of entertainment that will forever be immortalized on Hollywood’s iconic sidewalk. Gal Gadot is well deserving of this honor.”

Gadot has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most captivating and in-demand stars. Beyond acting, she and her husband, Varsano, run their production company, Pilot Wave, where they are developing multiple projects.

Gadot is also dedicated to philanthropy, supporting organizations such as Alexandria House, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and the Jewish Agency for Israel.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame serves as a tribute to the entertainment industry, celebrating artists and their contributions to film, television, music, and theater.

Managed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for the City of Los Angeles, the selection process involves a committee of industry professionals.

The honor is made possible through sponsorships that cover the cost of the star, the ceremony, and ongoing upkeep. Open to the public, the Walk of Fame remains one of Hollywood’s most iconic landmarks, making it a prestigious honor for celebrities like Gadot to have their names immortalized on it.

Gadot’s 2025 already started with a bang when she began promoting her upcoming film, set for release on March 21. The film is a live-action adaptation of Disney’s 1937 classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”

In the film, a princess teams up with seven dwarfs to reclaim her kingdom from her cruel stepmother, the Evil Queen, whom Gadot portrays.

The actress described the character she plays as wicked yet thrilling to portray. Since it was a musical, she didn’t just memorize the lines, she embodied the role with every fiber of her being. Playing such a theatrical and grand character was a lot of fun, she shared.

As her career thrives, Gadot continues to enjoy her personal life, balancing her Hollywood success with the love and support of her husband and their four daughters, whom she adores.
