Gal Gadot is ready for the world to watch her movie The Runner.

The actress, 41, stepped out for the premiere of the movie on Thursday (August 27) at the Harmony Gold theater in Los Angeles.

While on the red carpet, Gal opened up about how she was never a runner before making this film and she had to train hard for the role.

What Gal Gadot said about training for the movie

While on the red carpet, Gal told AP, “I had to [train] because I am not a runner. I’m not Tom Cruise and running is not part of my life. I hated running before, so I had to literally learn how to run and prepped for nine months with the most amazing Olympic trainer that taught me how to love-ish running.”

Gal joked she used to look like “Phoebe from Friends” while trying to run. “That was like where we started. Maybe my arms were more in control, but definitely not the best form.”

What is The Runner about?

Maia Marten (Gadot) has built her life on being one step ahead — a sharp, resourceful, high-powered lawyer at the top of London’s legal world. During her routine morning run, a single phone call shatters her world: her son has been taken. The instructions to get him back are simple and merciless — keep moving, follow every command, and tell no one. Stop, and he dies. Forced to sprint through the city and obey a series of sinister commands, Maia must confront an impossible question: how far will she go to bring her son home? Set against the backdrop of London’s hyper-connected streets, The Runner is a visceral, high-stakes race where every second counts, every choice carries a price, and a mother’s unstoppable love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

Also starring in the movie are Damian Lewis, Rory Wilmot, and Alfred Enoch.

The film will be released on Prime Video on September 2. See more photos below!
