Anti-Israel protesters demonstrate against Gal Gadot’s stunt double during filming in London

After rumours spread that Gal Gadot was filming in central London today, two anti-Israeli protesters went to demonstrate – but found themselves protesting her stunt double instead.

The protest, promoted on Instagram and discussed in anti-Israel advocacy group messages, took place overlooking a canal in Camden, where a scene of The Runner was being filmed.

The Israeli actress is set to star in the film, an American action thriller by The Last King of Scotland director Kevin Macdonald, which also features renowned British actor Damian Lewis.

Gadot portrays a successful London-based lawyer who, after the abduction of her son, is forced into an intense chase across the city in a desperate bid to save him, according to Deadline Hollywood.

The Wonder Woman actress has been seen shooting for the film while running in Kentish Town on Wednesday.

But today, it was only her stunt double who was subjected to a couple demonstrators waving Palestinian flags.

Putting an “urgent call out” today on Instagram one organiser claimed Gadot would be attending the location at St Pancras Way. Commenters on the post included users who said, “this woman should not be allowed peace [in the UK]”, “I can’t make it, but I hope many megaphone drums and whistles do” and “You can’t support terror and genocide and expect to go unchallenged. Free Palestine”.

Gadot, who was born in Israel and served in the IDF, has been unapologetic in her public defence of the Jewish State since Hamas’s brutal massacre on October 7, 2023, which saw some 1,200 people murdered across southern Israel.

She served in the IDF as a physical training instructor before pursuing a modelling and acting career, eventually landing the iconic role of Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe.
