Despite having been in a handful of movies already, Gal Gadot became a household name only after she played Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The stunning actress was arguably the best choice for one of DC’s most incredible and loved superheroes.
Gal Gadot has taken the entertainment industry by storm thanks to her undeniable talent and captivating beauty. While there is no one quite like her, she believes she has a look-alike in the industry and you might already know who it is! Yes, it is the iconic Pride & Prejudice actress, Keira Knightley, who just so happens to be the ex-girlfriend of Gal Gadot’s recent co-star.
Gal Gadot Believes Keira Knightley is Her Doppelganger
Gal Gadot will soon be seen in Netflix’s spy action thriller alongside Jamie Dornan and Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt. The trio joined WIRED for its insanely fun autocomplete interview. During the interview, Gadot removed the tape from the question, “Who looks like Gal Gadot?” The actress was quick to reply with Keira Knightley’s name, leaving Dornan flustered.
“I bet if you Google it, your ex. I’m so sorry [laughs]. Keira Knightley…I think like, we look like sisters.”
Gadot’s answer caught Dornan by surprise as he probably did not imagine the interview would bring up his romantic endeavor from 2003. As Bhatt agreed with Gadot, the Fifty Shades of Grey actor couldn’t help but hide himself behind his board.
Jamie Dornan and Keira Knightley’s Relationship
Knightley and Dornan ran into each other while shooting for an Asprey campaign in August 2003 and the sparks flew. The two started dating soon after. During their relationship, Knightley spoke highly of the actor. She told The Mirror, “I’m mad about him. He keeps me sane when things get stressful. We always have together.”
But just like all good things, Knightley and Dornan’s relationship too came to an end in 2005. After the breakup, the Belfast actor talked about the stereotype that a man is supposed to be the alpha in his relationships and how he did not feel that way with Knightley. He told Daily Mail,
“There is a big pressure when you go out with someone such as Keira. The man is meant to be the alpha in the relationship on the money and power front, and clearly I was not. You feel like you have to be dominant in other areas and that causes problems.”
Around the time of their relationship, Knightley had starred in films like Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice, and Love Actually whereas Dornan only got his first film, Marie Antoinette, in 2006.
Today, both of them are leading happily married lives. Knightley is married to James Righton and Dornan to Amelia Warner. Coincidentally, both marriages took place in the same year, 2013.
Gadot, Dornan, and Bhatt’s Heart of Stone releases on Netflix on August 11.
