“So the whole six weeks of the press that we did, I couldn’t sit,” Gadot revealed. “I could only lie down or stand up. So if you go back now, when you see all of my interviews I’m always standing.”
She had to do the entire press tour for the movie with excruciating pain in her back that did not let her sit, lie down or even stand up. She further focused on how she had to give all the interviews standing up. More so, she could not even attend the premiere of her movie because she was having surgery for a hernia. So while she was in an OR, everyone was enjoying her blockbuster. She did the entire tour without letting the world know even a bit about how much pain she was going through.
