Gal Gadot news: 'Wonder Woman' actress kisses Kate McKinnon in 'SNL' skit

Gal Gadot makes the internet swoon once again, as the "Wonder Woman" star kisses comedy actress Kate McKinnon in a "Saturday Night Live" (SNL) skit about the superhero.

The 32-year old "Wonder Woman" star reprised her role as Diana a.k.a. Wonder Woman in the "SNL" skit, where McKinnon and Aidy Bryant's characters, both lesbians, stumble upon Diana's Mediterranean island of Themyscira. Bryant and McKinnon's characters were hoping to find lesbians on the island populated by a clan of women warriors, only to be disappointed since none of the Amazons were.

Diana then decided that she wanted to try kissing one of the two lesbian characters to see if she would feel something. McKinnon's character volunteers and the two locked lips, for a considerably prolonged moment, only for Diana to proclaim afterward that she did not feel anything despite the passionate kiss. Discouraged, McKinnon and Bryant's characters leave the island of Themyscira.

Gadot even voiced out her excitement at being the host of last Saturday's "SNL" saying "I grew up in Israel, and this is so exciting for me, because tonight's show is being broadcast live in Israel for the very first time!" She then added: "Hi, Imma! Hi, Abba!" and afterward speaking in Hebrew in what was supposed as a dedication for the rest of her friends and family.

Gadot has become increasingly popular in Hollywood due to her role in "Wonder Woman," where several directors and even Hollywood stars praised her method of bringing the character to life. The movie was also hailed as empowering, and Gadot was honored for her acting chemistry with co-star Chris Pine who played Steve Trevor in the film.

In the previous "SNL" episode last Saturday, Gadot was also praised for delivering a superb hosting performance.
