(JTA) — Gal Gadot, the star of the film “Wonder Woman,” landed at No. 1 on The Hollywood Reporter’s Top Actors list.
She had been ranked at No. 4 for the last two weeks on the list, which is a ranking of the most popular actors on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Google Plus. The last tracking week ended on June 20, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The new list was released on Saturday. Other actors on the list include Dwayne Johnson, Zendaya, Priyanka Chopra, Lucy Hale, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart, Lily Collins, Shay Mitchell, and Mark Wahlberg.
Gadot, 32, has become an international sensation since “Wonder Woman” premiered. Gadot has long been a household name in Israel, where she has been a supermodel since winning the Miss Israel pageant at 18 in 2004.
