Gal Gadot's New Film Tops Global Charts Amid Boycott Attempts
International actress Gal Gadot's latest film, "The Runner," has achieved the number one spot on Amazon Prime Video's global viewership charts, demonstrating continued audience support despite calls for boycotts on social media. Gadot shared the news on her Instagram account, thanking her "millions of viewers worldwide" for making the film the top-streamed title.
"The Runner" features Gadot as Maya Jensen, a successful London lawyer and single mother whose son is kidnapped. To save him, she must follow a series of dangerous instructions while constantly on the move through the city, without stopping or alerting the authorities. The film is described as a race against time through the streets of London.
This global success comes after a challenging period for the Israeli star. Gadot faced online boycott campaigns and sustained a significant injury during filming, breaking both her feet and requiring a recovery period. Despite these obstacles, the film's ascent to the top of Amazon's international charts reaffirms her strong position in the global streaming and film industry.
The film's popularity also coincides with calls to boycott the fashion brand Ralph Lauren, which had featured Gadot wearing its clothing on its official Instagram page.
