Gal Gadot is walking on Cloud Nine after she made history as the first Israeli actor to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame despite the ceremony being disrupted by protesters.

With pride and gratitude, Gadot shared photos of the ceremony through her Instagram page on Thursday, March 20, describing the moment as “too big to put into words.”

“There are moments in life that feel almost too big to put into words—this is one of them. To see my name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, surrounded by legends who have inspired me, is beyond anything I ever imagined,” she wrote.

The “Wonder Woman” star added that the Walk of Fame star represents “years of hard work, passion, and the unwavering belief of so many people who have lifted her up along the way.”

Gadot was accompanied by her four daughters — Alma, 13, Maya, 8, and Daniella, 3, and Ori, 13 months — and husband Jaron Varsano, at the ceremony.

She also extended her gratitude to “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins her “Fast & Furious” co-star Vin Diesel, for physically being there to support her.

“My deepest gratitude to Patty Jenkins and [@vindiesel] — having you both by my side for this moment made it even more special. Your friendship, support, and the way you believe in me mean more than I can ever express. And to all of you who have supported me through this journey—this star is for you, too,” she concluded the post.

Amid the happy occasion, the actress’ Walk of Fame was disrupted by anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian protests, as seen in a video shared by Variety on X (formerly Twitter).

Gadot has been openly supportive of Israel throughout the country’s deadly attacks against Hamas in Gaza.

The 39-year-old actress currently stars as the evil queen in the Rachel Zegler-starrer “Snow White.”

Gadot’s star is the 2,804th to be embedded on the Walk of Fame.
