Why Are Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler at Odds Amid Snow White Release? Source Reveals ‘Tension’ Between Co-Stars

by

With Disney’s live-action Snow White set to hit theaters soon, rumors are swirling about a potential rift between lead actress Rachel Zegler and her co-star Gal Gadot. Insiders suggest that their differences in age and opposing political views might be fueling the tension between them.

23-year-old Zegler and 39-year-old Gadot are set to take on the roles of Snow White and the Evil Queen in an eagerly awaited remake. However, a source close to the situation has informed PEOPLE that their friendship off-set is not particularly cordial. According to the source, Rachel and Gal, who is a mother of four, share few common interests, and their contrasting political views have deepened the rift between them.

Although Gal Gadot joined director Patty Jenkins at significant public events such as the 2022 Disney D23 Expo and the recent Academy Awards, she was not present at the movie’s premiere in Spain on March 12. However, a reliable source explained that her absence didn’t imply any disagreement, adding, “She wasn’t scheduled to be in Spain; instead, she was doing interviews in New York.” The source further clarified, “This isn’t an avoidance tactic. They will reunite this weekend.”

A confidant highlighted that although there wasn’t any open hostility between them, Gal and Rachel didn’t share a strong bond. “Gal found filming enjoyable and got along with Rachel, but they aren’t friends. They have no mutual interests. They merely completed a task together, and that’s the extent of it.

The disagreement between the two individuals has further intensified existing conflicts. Gal Gadot, an actress from Israel who once served in the army, has been open about advocating for the liberation of Israeli prisoners, whereas Rachel Zegler has voiced pro-Palestinian opinions on social media during the ongoing Gaza crisis. Furthermore, rumors suggest that Gadot disagreed with Zegler’s contentious remarks concerning Snow White’s modernization. As one source stated, “Gal feels you shouldn’t criticize a project you’ve agreed to be part of. She simply can’t understand Rachel’s perspective.

Regardless of any reported tension, both actresses are slated to make an appearance together at the Snow White premiere in Los Angeles on March 15. As the film is set to debut on March 21, there’s much anticipation about how the movie and its stars will be perceived by audiences.
