Snow White actress goes into ‘meltdown’ over Trump’s election win

Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler were seen putting on a friendly display while walking the carpet at the premiere of Snow White in Hollywood on Saturday.

Page Six reports that the two co-stars, who are allegedly “not friends” and clash over politics, wrapped their arms around each other as they stood between their fellow cast members to promote the live-action remake of the Disney classic.

Zegler, who plays the film’s titular character, graced the carpet in a dazzling light pink strapless gown featuring a corsetted bodice. She styled her hair in a classic updo and paired her look with diamond accessories.

The 23-year-old star opted for a peachy and warm makeup look consistent with that of her character Snow White.

Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen, wore a risque sheer black lace dress with a ruffled miniskirt over a longer floor-length skirt.

The 39-year-old actress wore her hair down in a sleek, middle-part style and accessorised with a single jewelled statement necklace.

Both ladies flashed cheerful smiles as they walked the carpet, but a recent report claimed they’re not too fond of each other.

A source told People Friday that they have “nothing in common,” especially since Gadot is “a mum of four kids”.

Their “huge age gap” doesn’t help either, the insider said.

They have “very different political views”, which adds “to the tension” that was already surrounding the film.

Zegler has been an outspoken supporter of Palestine throughout the Israel-Hamas war, while Gadot — who was born in Israel and served in the Israeli army — has been a vocal supporter of her home country following the October 2024 attacks

Zegler also slammed the original version of the Disney movie, telling Variety in 2022, “There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn’t do that this time.”

“I was scared of the original version. I think I watched it once and never picked it up again.”

The West Side Story actress’ comments led to criticism that the live-action remake and its lead star are too “woke’.

Gadot is “annoyed by the movie drama,” a source told People.

Prior to Saturday, it was reported that Disney planned to scale back the Hollywood premiere. Only photographers and a house crew would be allowed on the red carpet, per Variety. The outlet later confirmed that to be true while sharing details from the event.

“The only interviewers [the cast] encountered were employed by Disney,” Variety said.
