A red carpet premiere for a Hollywood blockbuster in Tel-Aviv is something we rarely get to see here, however when one of the stars of the movie is Israeli this is a completely different story… So join us for the Tel-Aviv world premiere of Fast and Furious 6 in Tel-Aviv.

Sandra Ringler, Stylist:
It feels like a Red Carpet in Tel-Aviv, if were in Hollywood I guess I would wear an evening gown. And yeah, you know, we’re in Tel-Aviv its very different, I guess, you know, but still we have a very big star here whom we love, she’s a good friend of mine.

So who is Gal Gadot? She first drew attention to herself when at 19 she won the Miss Israel pageant in 2004 and went on to represent Israel in the Miss Universe competition that year.

America first took notice of her when she was featured in the Maxim Magazine photo shoot, “Women of the Israeli Army”, which showed models who served in the IDF.

Gadot’s photo attracted New York Post’s Page Six in the week it came out and was also the photo of the invite to the opening of the exhibition of the photo-shoot.

A year later we already saw Gadot on the big screen in Hollywood in the blockbuster, Fast & Furious.

Since then she has starred alongside such big Hollywood heavyweights like Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Vin Diesel and Tina Fey. Now into her third movie in the Fast and Furious franchise she is bringing home the world premiere of the movie to Tel-Aviv.

Gal Gadot, Actress:
Amazing, I am so excited right now, this is home, this is heart, this is where my heart is, this is my soul and the people who care here are people who I really care about and its really important for me to make sure that they like it and its really important for me to know that, you know, they are going to be happy with what they see. So I am most excited in Israel.

We wanted to find out from Gal if she also talks about Israel to her Hollywood friends.

Gal Gadot, Actress:
While we were shooting this one when Pillar of Defense happened in Israel, there is a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to Israel because sometimes what you see on TV doesn’t really reflect the reality. So, I was there and I talked with all of my cast friends, you know, and its not only on the situation basis that I speak to them about but it is that Israel is such a beautiful place to come visit and the people are great and the culture is great. You have Tel-Aviv and you have Haifa, and you have the Dead Sea, and I think Israel is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and it needs to be said, you know what I mean? So I talk a lot about Israel.

So for a little moment Tel-Aviv felt like Hollywood thanks to Gal Gadot and all the stardust rubbed off on us just for a little bit.
For JN1, I am Ron Jacobsohn in Tel-Aviv.
