Gal Gadot may be a whiz with whips – okay, lasso – and getting out of tough scrapes onscreen, but, apparently, that doesn’t make her immune to kitchen accidents IRL.
When the Wonder Woman star made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she and host Jimmy Kimmel got to talking about the early days of quarantine.
“I cooked a lot, too much. I drank probably too much,” she shared. “You know the early days of pandemic when you start drinking mimosa or sangria or whatever at 11 a.m.?”
And, according to Gal, drinking and chopping things – not a very good idea.
“So I did that and then I decided I’m going to make a cabbage salad because that’s what one wants to do,” she continued. “So I started to chop the thing and I completely, I chopped the top of my finger [off].”
While severed parts can sometimes be restored via surgery, Gal said that she never got the chance to try because of how her husband, Yaron Versano, reacted.
“Yaron went to the chopping board, and he held the finger,” she said. “Then he got so disgusted that he threw it into the garbage.”
“Did you go to the hospital for the finger?” Jimmy asked.
“No, because it was in the garbage disposal!” Gal exclaimed. “There was nothing to sew on.”
Uh-oh!
But while she may have lost feeling in the area of her injured fingers, she now has something better to look forward to.
Last month, Gal revealed that her family is expecting a new addition – and on Thursday (April 22), she revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan that Baby No. 3 is a girl!
She and hubby Yaron are already parents to two daughters, nine-year-old Alma and three-year-old Maya. Sharing the new update with hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, she told them, “It’s baby girl No. 3. Yes, we’re sticking to what we know.”
However, she didn’t know how much her current pregnancy would affect her emotions. “I’m a crier right now. Usually I’m so not, that’s why it’s so shocking,” she shared. Apparently, she cries while watching commercials or listening to a good song these days.
Still, she’s learned a lot from raising her two daughters – learnings that would come in handy when Baby No. 3 arrives.
“With Alma, with our first, we completely messed up the whole sleep routine, and when Maya was born, we were like, ‘No more,'” she reflected. “So Maya is, like, she can sleep through the night since she was five months. Alma—still at 9—sneaks into our bed, so I think that’s something we’re going to stick to doing. We’re going to sleep train her… I feel like this is the hardest part about parenthood, the lack of sleep.”
