The Fast and the Furious films have undeniably gotten better with each new installment. It’s rare for an action franchise to improve with age, but somehow these films have beaten the odds. It may not be a coincidence that the car saga started really getting good when actress/ model Gal Gadot joined the series. She linked up to the Fast world when she portrayed Giselle in Fast & Furious, the fourth film released in the series.

No. 034 THE STNDRD LIFESTYLE - THE ARTIST ISSUE
At this point in your life do you consider yourself more of an actress or model? Definitely more of an actress…much, much more an actress. I enjoy both, but I feel more satisfaction when I’m acting. I can give more of myself with acting. Have you been able to take things from your modeling career and apply them to your acting career? I think that modeling has a lot to do with acting. A model can’t just have a blank face. You have to act with your eyes and spirit. There is an energy you must play with. Modeling has definitely helped my performances. Was it hard at first to convince people you were serious about transitioning to acting? No, I don’t think so. Maybe people felt awkward at first seeing me on screen, but I never had any bad feedback. Everyone was very supportive.
