00:00All right, truly it takes Wonder Woman to help us get through this, so please come up

00:10onto the stage.

00:11Don't fall down.

00:31All right, so we're here on a really magical street, filled with incredible talent.

01:01And as I said, it's creative genius all around you, and you are about to join this pantheon.

01:18But it's also a real street in a real city in Los Angeles, and so we have a resolution

01:25from the city of Los Angeles to honor you on behalf of our city council member who represents

01:32this area in Hollywood, Hugo Soto-Martinez, and I'd like to present that now on behalf

01:37of the city of L.A.

01:38Like I said, do not fall off.

01:47We've never lost anyone.

02:07All right, this to me is always the highlight of these events, but on behalf of the Hollywood

02:14Chamber of Commerce, I now declare today Gal Gadot Day in Hollywood!

02:30Oh my God, oh my God, thank you, thank you, thank you.

02:34Don't stand up again.

02:38Wow, wow.

02:41I'm really trying hard not to keep it together.

02:47You may all sit.

02:49Thank you so much.

02:53I have everything written.

02:54I don't know if I should read or if I should just go off.

02:57I'll just start and see.

03:00This is very surreal for me, and I feel like I'm the luckiest woman I know right now.

03:12Standing here today on this street, Yaron, 15 years ago, we came here and we were driving

03:19by this boulevard.

03:21Who would have ever thought we would get such an honor?

03:28Thank you, Hollywood.

03:31Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, thank you so much, Disney.

03:35Thank you so much, everybody, for showing up today and honoring me.

03:39I feel very, very humbled and grateful, and words cannot express this surreal feeling.

03:47I'm just a girl from a town in Israel, and yes, and I could never imagine such moment.

04:06I never dreamt of becoming an actress, and I never knew that these things are possible,

04:13but it's crazy for me because this is going to last long after I'm out of here.

04:20To me, it's even more than any award because we can share it with the world.

04:27I'm not taking it home.

04:31This is for everybody, and I'm surrounded with such iconic names.

04:36I'm just overwhelmed with joy.

04:42Okay, now I'm going to go back to this and say that this star will remind me that with

04:49hard work and passion and some faith, anything is possible.

04:55I didn't reach this moment alone.

04:58I have so many incredible people to thank who've lifted me up along the way.

05:06My team at WME, my lawyers, everyone who are here, you've all been part of my journey,

05:16and I'm forever grateful for your support and for your love.

05:23Vin, you took a chance on a complete unknown and invited me to the Fest and the Furious family.

05:33I mean, talking about starting big, okay?

05:39It was my first movie ever, and your faith in me completely changed my life,

05:46completely changed the course of my life.

05:48Thank you so much for your trust.

05:52Thank you for showing up.

05:54Thank you for your love.

05:56I love you, and we're always family.

06:04Patty, you are my Wonder Woman behind the screen, behind the camera.

06:13I am so grateful the world has brought us together, and it really made me believe that

06:20everything happens for a reason, and the universe works in mysterious ways, as we always say.

06:28And going through this journey with you together, I already said that, made me believe that

06:35nothing happens for a reason.

06:38You've been a beacon of light and always guided me with so much love, with so much compassion.

06:46Always, your friendship is everything.

06:50You've always been my friend from the very first moment we've met in this shady restaurant in Atlanta.

06:57Thank you for guiding me with such vision and so much heart.

07:02Working with you taught me to trust myself and my powers as an actress,

07:08and it was only after our movie that I finally started to call myself an actress.

07:13So thank you.

07:15Thank you for being an inspiration, and thank you for being such a friend.

07:19To my incredible fans, I'm trying to keep it together.

07:29To my incredible fans out there, thank you so much.

07:33I wouldn't be standing here without you.

07:35Thank you for all the love, all the support, for watching my films.

07:40I love you so much, and I'm honoring you today.

07:44And to all the young women out there, the young people, especially young girls watching,

07:50if a girl from Rosh Ha'Ayn can get a star at the Hollywood Boulevard, anything is possible.

08:05And finally, Katie, I love you.

08:09Finally, to my family, who my extended family and friends are all now watching from Israel.

08:16I love you. Thank you for always being there for me.

08:20Even though you're far away, you're always close to my heart, and I love you.

08:24My career has been a wild adventure, and through it all, one person has been there steadily beside me.

08:38My husband, Yaron.

08:44I can't even begin to express how much you mean to me.

08:48You're my rock. You're my compass. You're my firefighter.

08:57You're my best friend. You inspire me so much to dream.

09:03Whenever my success grew, I always got pregnant. I needed to ground myself.

09:10That's why I tell my agents, it's either I'm making movies or making babies.

09:16No more babies.

09:18But Yaron always reminded me to dream and to be free to do whatever it is that I want to do.

09:25So thank you so much, Yaroni. I love you so much.

09:30I could not have been here without you. This is you as much as it's mine.

09:34And finally, our daughters, Alma, Maya, whose birthday is today.

09:41She's eight. Mazal tov, Maya!

09:44Dandan, Daniela, and baby Ori.

09:48Everything I do, I do for you.

09:54Being your ima is my greatest, greatest privilege and the most meaningful thing I've ever done.

10:02Thank you for being part of the circus, like we always say.

10:06You allow me to fulfill my dreams, and I hope that you know that you can do the same.

10:13You inspire me every day to strive to be a better person, to be strong and kind and brave, just the way you are.

10:21And I hope that you're proud.

10:23And I want you to know that this is not about fame or movies or any of that.

10:28This is about going after your passion and working hard.

10:34And I want you to know that if you do that, you can achieve anything, my sweet girls.

10:41Absolutely anything.

10:44Never forget that. I love you.

10:47Thank you, everybody.

10:49I appreciate all of you.

10:51Thank you so much.
