Gal Gadot suffers from Impostor Syndrome. The ‘Wonder Woman’ star admits that every time she acts she doubts herself and worries no one will like what she’s doing.
In a cover interview with L’Officiel Magazine, Gal said: “It’s funny, I always feel like I have this imposter syndrome because I feel so lucky, and I’m so happy that I get to do what I really, really, really love.” “”I always feel like, ‘I hope they’re gonna like it.’ There’s never a moment when I’m like, ‘They’re gonna love this.” Recalling a conversation with Hollywood director Francis Ford Coppola, 84, she said: “He said, ‘You know, something? I’m always filled with doubts. I’m always afraid they’re not going to like it. I just follow my heart and I come into it humble.” And the ‘Death on the Nile’ star – who has three children with Jaron – admits she loved getting to play the villainous Evil Queen in the upcoming ‘Snow White’ movie. Gal said: “It was a great shift. I can’t believe I got to play the Evil Queen, the first evil villain in the history of Disney. “I get to sing and explore my theatrical, evil dark side.”
Imposter syndrome is loosely defined as doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they’re deserving of accolades. Imposter syndrome took a fairly universal feeling of discomfort, second-guessing, and mild anxiety in the workplace and pathologized it, especially for women. The label of imposter syndrome is a heavy load to bear. “Imposter” brings a tinge of criminal fraudulence to the feeling of simply being unsure or anxious about joining a new team or learning a new skill. Add to that the medical undertone of “syndrome,” which recalls the “female hysteria” diagnoses of the nineteenth century. Although feelings of uncertainty are an expected and normal part of professional life, women who experience them are deemed to suffer from imposter syndrome.
