Gal Gadot flies via private jet to film new big budget Netflix film amid Coronavirus fears… after vowing to only go commercial
- Pledged to ‘make sure’ to avoid private jets to set a good example to her two daughters, while also recycling and not using plastic bags
- Has been photographed twice this week using private jets, between Los Angeles and Atlanta, where she is filming Red Notice
- Netflix bosses are said to have insisted on the move, amid fears the Coronavirus outbreak will slow production
- Red Notice has a production budget in the $130m range, and is a huge investment by Netflix, marking its arguably biggest feature film commitment
Early this year she publicly pledged to only fly commercial, for environmental reasons.
But now Gal Gadot has resorted to private jets for her commute between Los Angeles and Atlanta, where she is filming Red Notice.
The move is said to have been insisted upon by her Netflix bosses, who are said to be concerned about the spread of Coronavirus disrupting filming of their big budget globetrotting action heist.

Sources told TMZ Netflix has been using private jets to shuttle both the Wonder Woman 1984 star and her co-stars Ryan Reynolds and The Rock.
Pictures show Gal walking off the jet as she lands back in Los Angeles this weekend, her second flight in days.
Speaking to People magazine, earlier this year, the 34-year-old said she had eschewed private jets in a bid to set a good example to her daughters Alma, eight, and Maya, two.
‘I think that being a role model and actually doing the things and showing them how it should be done is a big thing, because then it’s being incorporated into their life,’ she explained.
‘So we make sure we recycle and make sure not to use plastic bags, not to travel with [private] jets when we’re doing press for movies, we make sure to give back as much as we can back to the world that we’re living in.’

According to Deadline, Red Notice has a production budget in the $130million range, and marks a huge investment by Netflix, marking its arguably biggest feature film commitment yet.
The Coronavirus outbreak has already forced the streaming service to reconsider their plans for the film, which was due to film on location in Italy.
Now, producers are scrambling to scout alternative locations for the globetrotting action heist by writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber. The bulk of filming is scheduled to take place in Atlanta.
It is not the only production to be disrupted, with Paramount postponing its three-week shoot of Mission: Impossible 7 in Venice, Italy, which has been hard hit by the outbreak.
CBS also postponed the shooting of season 33 of The Amazing Race, the location of which had not been announced.
