Hollywood entertainment industry is never short of drama, but the latest statement of Rachel Zegler, the young actress playing Snow White in Disney’s live-action project, has ignited a storm of fierce controversy. On social networks, Rachel suddenly posted a status directly implying that Gal Gadot – “Wonder Woman goddess” – is too old to continue to shine and should give way to the younger generation.

Shocking statement from “Snow White”

Rachel Zegler, 24 years old, is considered a young face with great potential in Hollywood. However, her career has been criticized many times for her lack of modesty. This time, when mentioning Gal Gadot – the 39-year-old Israeli star – Rachel did not hesitate to write:

“Hollywood needs new faces, young and full of energy. There are people who should stop instead of trying to hold on to the halo. The younger generation deserves a chance.”

Although not directly named, most of the audience realized that the “spearhead” that Rachel was aiming at was Gal Gadot. Because in the upcoming Snow White project, Gal plays the role of “Queen Stepmother”, a character associated with haughty and mysterious beauty. Rachel’s “hinting” that her senior was past her prime further fueled the debate among the audience.

The online community is divided

Rachel’s statement has created a wave of outrage. Many Gal Gadot fans think Rachel is “arrogant” and “ungrateful”:

“Gal Gadot is living proof that age is just a number. She is still beautiful, still charming and still shines brighter than many young stars.”

“Rachel Zegler is just starting out in the profession and dares to criticize her senior, it’s really disrespectful.”

However, there are also some opinions that Rachel is just stating the truth: Hollywood favors youth and often associates the image of beauty goddesses with faces in their twenties.

Gal Gadot’s Unexpected Response

What makes the story even more intriguing is that Gal Gadot did not stay silent. Contrary to many people’s predictions that she would choose to ignore it, Gal posted a sharp post:

“Light has no age. Talent, effort and passion are what define an artist. If anyone thinks that women should stop just because they turn 30, that thinking is outdated.”

Gal’s post quickly received millions of likes and shares. Fans praised her for her bravery, ingenuity and charisma – true to the “Wonder Woman” image that she has carved into the hearts of global audiences.

The story goes beyond a war of words

This controversy goes beyond the personal relationship between Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, but also raises a larger issue: Are women in Hollywood always judged harshly based on age? While many male actors still play action roles in their 50s and 60s, female actors are often considered “out of date” after turning 35.

Gal Gadot’s response is a strong message to the entire film industry: talent and appeal cannot be measured by age.

Conclusion

Rachel Zegler’s statement will certainly cause controversy for a long time, especially when the movie Snow White is about to be released. However, with a confident and strong response, Gal Gadot has turned an attack into an opportunity to affirm her position.

👉 The question is: Will the audience support a youthful but arrogant “Snow White”, or will they still stand by the “Wonder Woman” who has proven that age cannot prevent her from shining?
