Benson Boone Admits Crush Was on Wonder Woman, Not Gal Gadot Herself

Singer and songwriter Benson Boone recently revealed on the "Life Uncut" podcast that his only celebrity crush was on Gal Gadot, but with a significant caveat: his infatuation was with her character, Wonder Woman, not the actress herself. Boone clarified that his crush was specifically on the character Gadot portrayed in the film, and when asked if it was more about Wonder Woman than Gadot, he simply replied, "Yes."

At around 13 or 14 years old, Boone began researching Gadot, marking his first time looking into someone he was interested in. His initial queries focused on whether she was single, but he quickly expanded his search to include questions like "Does Gal Gadot have a husband? Is she in a relationship? Does she have children?" He recalled thinking, "I totally have a chance."

Benson Boone gained widespread recognition in the early 2020s after a brief appearance on "American Idol." He was subsequently signed by Dan Reynolds, the frontman of Imagine Dragons, and cultivated an international following with several hit singles. His major breakthrough came with the song "Beautiful Things," which became one of his signature hits and propelled him to stardom in the global pop scene. Boone has since released albums, performed on major stages, and established himself as a prominent figure among the new generation of pop stars.
