One of the things we love about Gal Gadot is that she embodies the warm, empathetic heart of her alter ego, Diana of Themyscira. Case in point: Gadot dressed up in her Wonder Woman outfit and paid a visit to Inova Children's Hospital in Annandale, Virginia while on a break from shooting Wonder Woman 1984.
