Gal Gadot's career soared after she starred as DC's Wonder Woman, but before that, she was already making a name in Hollywood as Gisele Yashar in Fast & Furious (2009). Many fans don't know that this was not her first try at big acting roles; in fact, she almost became a Bond girl.

Obviously, Gadot did not get the part that eventually went to Olga Kurylenko, but her meeting with the casting director created a huge change in her life and career as she was cast to play her breakout role in Fast & Furious instead.
