Israeli actress Gal Gadot appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week, bringing a touch of the Rosh Hashanah holiday to the show. She explained traditional customs, such as eating apple and honey for a sweet new year, and revealed her fondness for gefilte fish, particularly enjoying it with horseradish. Gadot then demonstrated the shofar, an instrument blown on Rosh Hashanah, explaining its purpose is to "awaken the soul" and foster unity. She successfully produced a sound from the shofar, joking that it "didn't sound great, but I managed." Kimmel also attempted to blow the shofar, and the two wished viewers a happy new year.
Gadot's appearance promoted her new film, "Racing Against Time," where she plays a single mother whose son is kidnapped. The role required extensive running throughout London, a significant physical challenge as Gadot was not a runner prior to filming. She shared that she took "well over 100,000 steps" on many days, with cameras following her on skateboards and rollerblades to create a documentary feel. The demanding schedule resulted in Gadot fracturing her foot ten days before filming concluded.
During the interview, Gadot also recalled her childhood admiration for Madonna, whom she impersonated in a school play. She recounted meeting Madonna at Uma Thurman's home and was surprised when the singer remembered her during a subsequent encounter, calling her "amazing."
