Israeli actress Gal Gadot talked about the kind of courage she finds inspiring, vulnerability, and being a \u201clioness\u201d wanting to protect her children in a new interview published on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the upcoming film \u201cThe Runner,\u201d<\/a> Gadot stars as Maia, a successful lawyer whose son is kidnapped. She is subsequently forced to sprint through the streets of London and obey a series of commands in order to save her abducted child.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gadot graces the cover of Modern Luxury<\/a><\/em>\u2018s September 2026 issue and in her cover story \u2014 which was shot at The Jaffa Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel \u2014 she talked about her starring role in the psychological thriller.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMaia isn\u2019t a superhero. She doesn\u2019t have all the answers. She makes mistakes, she doubts herself, she gets scared, and yet she keeps moving forward,\u201d Gadot told the magazine. \u201cI think that\u2019s the kind of courage I find most inspiring. Real courage isn\u2019t the absence of fear; it\u2019s choosing to keep going despite it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the film\u2019s trailer, viewers see Maia being fearful, for her son\u2019s life and what she must do to save him. Gadot told Modern Luxury<\/em> her character doesn\u2019t hide her fear and said, \u201cSome of the smartest, strongest people I know are also deeply vulnerable because they have so much to lose. Maia is brilliant, analytical, and capable, but when her family is threatened, every decision becomes emotional. To me, vulnerability doesn\u2019t weaken intelligence. It gives it stakes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The mother-of-four also told the magazine being a parent helped her tap into a different emotional connection with her character.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the moment you become a mother, you also become a lioness,\u201d she explained. \u201cNothing matters more than your children. No matter where we come from or what we believe, I think every parent shares the same instinct: to keep their children safe. And the greatest fear any mother carries is the thought of not being able to protect them. That\u2019s the fear Maia lives with throughout this story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She said motherhood \u201chas probably become the deepest emotional well I have. It gives me access to emotions that are impossible to imagine intellectually; you simply feel them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gadot prepared for her role in \u201cThe Runner\u201d by training with former Olympian Malachi Davis and previously said the project is the most physical film she\u2019s ever done. Gadot also broke her foot weeks before filming was complete. \u201cThe Runner\u201d is directed by Kevin Macdonald and also stars Damian Lewis. It will be released on Prime Video on Sept. 2.
