Gal Gadot Admits She Hated Working on This HBO Production: “Someone There Behaved Inappropriately”

Gal Gadot is now one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but not every project in her career has been a good memory. Before she became Wonder Woman and started showing up in movies like Fast X, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and The Flash, Gadot was still taking small parts early on in her career.

One of those roles was a guest appearance on HBO’s hit series Entourage back in 2009. Looking back, Gadot says it was one of the worst experiences she’s ever had.

During an interview on The A Talks, a Channel Keshet 12 talk show in August 2025, Gadot opened up about her time filming Entourage.

The actress didn’t hold back when describing just how uncomfortable she felt on set. “What I hated and didn’t enjoy at all was being on Entourage, an American series. Someone there behaved inappropriately, and it got to the point where I left the set and stopped working with them,” Gadot revealed.

Entourage was one of HBO’s most popular shows in the 2000s. Created by Doug Ellin and produced by Mark Wahlberg, the show ran from 2004 to 2011 and told the story of Vincent Chase, a young movie star trying to make it in Hollywood, and the group of childhood friends who surrounded him.

The series was a mix of comedy and drama and quickly built a loyal fanbase. Critics praised the show for being sharp and funny, and Jeremy Piven’s role as Ari Gold became one of television’s most talked-about characters.

But for Gadot, the set was anything but enjoyable. The actress didn’t give details about who the person was or what exactly happened, but she made it clear that the situation was serious enough to walk away. It’s rare for Gadot to speak negatively about past work, which makes this confession stand out even more.

At the time, Gadot was just beginning her acting career, and landing a role on a hit HBO series could have been a big opportunity. Instead, the experience left her frustrated and unwilling to continue filming. Her honesty shows how even in glamorous Hollywood settings, behind-the-scenes behavior can completely change how an actor feels about a project.

Despite the bad memory, Gadot went on to bigger and better things soon after. Within a few years, she joined the Fast & Furious franchise, and by 2017 she had cemented her place in Hollywood history as Wonder Woman in the DC Universe.

While Entourage is still remembered as one of HBO’s signature shows, Gal Gadot’s experience serves as a reminder that success on screen doesn’t always reflect what happens when the cameras aren’t rolling.
