Hollywood Besties: Inside Gal Gadot's Tight Bond with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Ryan Reynolds

Wonder Woman isn’t just saving the world on screen—she’s also winning hearts and building lasting friendships behind the scenes. Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress who skyrocketed to global fame as the fierce Amazonian warrior, isn't just lighting up the screen with her superhero prowess—she’s also forming some of the most talked-about A-list connections in Hollywood. Her electric off-screen chemistry with co-stars like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Ryan Reynolds is giving fans major friendship goals.

From Red Notice to the Real World

It all started on the set of Netflix's action-heist blockbuster Red Notice, which brought together three of Tinseltown’s most charismatic stars: Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds. On screen, their banter, betrayal, and backflips kept audiences glued. But off-screen, there was just as much magic—minus the felony charges and double-crosses.

Red Notice marked the first time all three actors shared significant screen time, and it was clear from their dynamic that their friendship wasn’t just movie magic. From viral behind-the-scenes Instagram posts to cheeky interviews promoting the film, fans saw a playful, natural camaraderie that spilled beyond the camera. For Gadot, working with The Rock and Reynolds wasn’t just about action and adrenaline—it was about "joy, laughter, and genuine connection.”

"These guys are the real deal," Gal told ET in a promo interview. "We clicked instantly. We had so much fun on set. It felt like a reunion even though it was our first project together."

Partners-in-Crime (in the Best Way)

With his 350+ million Instagram followers, Dwayne Johnson is the undisputed social media king—and he made it clear how special his connection is with Gadot. “She’s not just beautiful and talented—she’s kind, strong, and hilarious,” The Rock said in an Instagram caption featuring a throwback from their Red Notice days. “We’ve got each other's backs. Period.”

The Rock, who’s known for his infectious positivity and energy, reportedly enjoyed their downtime on set as much as the action-packed sequences. Whether they were sharing gym tips, swapping parenting hacks, or just vibing to classic tunes between takes, Johnson and Gadot formed a rock-solid bond (pun totally intended).

Meanwhile, Reynolds, known for his razor-sharp wit, found a kindred spirit in Gal's down-to-earth vibe. The duo shared a flurry of playful social media exchanges during filming, with Ryan calling Gal "a force of nature and the queen of cool."

In one hilarious clip posted during the promotional tour, Gadot is caught mid-laugh after Ryan delivers a trademark sarcastic one-liner. The chemistry was palpable—and totally unscripted.

A Friendship Founded on Respect

In the glitzy world of Hollywood, it's easy to assume co-star connections are fleeting. But Gal, Dwayne, and Ryan appear to be breaking the mold. Their friendship is built on more than just movie deals and red carpet appearances—it’s based on mutual admiration and respect.

Gal has gushed about working with both men, praising their professionalism and support. “They’re true gentlemen,” she told Variety. “We work hard, but we also lift each other up. That’s rare in this industry.”

That sentiment goes both ways. Reynolds has hailed Gadot as “the heart of our trio,” even teasing the idea of working together again. “I’d do another ten movies with her—any day,” he said during an Access Hollywood interview.

Could a Red Notice sequel be in the works? Netflix hasn’t confirmed a release date yet, but fans are already buzzing with excitement at the thought of this iconic dream team reuniting.

More Than Just Co-Stars

Off-camera, it’s clear that these are more than just professional relationships—they’re real friendships. Gadot, a busy mom of three and global superstar, still makes time to connect with her Hollywood besties. She’s been spotted grabbing brunch with The Rock, attending launch parties hosted by Reynolds and Blake Lively, and even sharing virtual cheers during pandemic Zoom calls.

In a behind-the-scenes featurette, Gal said, “At the end of the day, we’re just people trying to do what we love—and having true friends who get it, who are right there with you? That’s everything.”

Why Fans Are Living for This Trio

Let's face it—we’re here for the drama, the glamour, and the high-voltage stardom. But in the age of "celebrity friendships" that flicker out as fast as a TikTok trend, Gal Gadot’s genuine bond with Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds is the refreshingly real vibe we didn’t know we needed. It's authenticity blended with Hollywood power—the ultimate winning combo.

And for fans? Seeing these superstars not just work together but thrive together IRL is the kind of behind-the-scenes friendship energy that has all the makings of a blockbuster bromance (or sis-mance—whatever you want to call it).

Future Projects and Friendship Goals

While there’s no confirmation yet on future trilogies starring this talented trio, their social media teasers and interviews hint at more collaborations to come. Whether it's another Netflix thriller, a surprise Marvel or DC crossover (dream big, folks!), or just more hilarious Instagram reels that fans can't stop watching, one thing’s clear: Gal Gadot, The Rock, and Ryan Reynolds are here to slay—on-screen and off.

So whether you're a diehard Wonder Woman fan, a cardio-chugging Rock follower, or a sarcasm-loving Reynolds diehard, there’s no denying the A-list friendship energy that Gal Gadot and her Hollywood allies bring. And we are 100% here for it.
