The Wonder Woman wowing the box office ? Israel's Gal Gadot and SNL's most recent host ? Kumail Nanjiani, Pakistani-American actor and comic, interviewed each other on the show Actor on Actor.

The candid conversation gives insight into the personal lives and struggles of both actors.

They also share the experiences of their recent projects.

Nanjiani: So how did you end up playing Wonder Woman? How did that happen?

Gadot: It?s kind of one thing led to the other. I never planned on becoming an actor, and then I had this opportunity where this casting director flew to Israel; she was looking for a new Bond girl. I did the audition, didn?t get the part, but through this experience, I was like, ?This is so much more interesting than going to law school.?

Nanjiani: You were in law school?

Gadot: Yeah, I know. Thank goodness life interrupts and comes in the way. It was weird because I didn?t know they were auditioning me for Wonder Woman. I knew I was auditioning for this secret project.

Gadot: I read that you didn?t want to be an actor either. What are you doing here?

Nanjiani: I don?t know what happened. Huge mistake. My parents wanted me to be a doctor.

Gadot: They wanted me to be a lawyer. We have so much in common.

Nanjiani: We?re both immigrants. We play immigrants in our movies.

Gadot: We both get asked all the time, ?How do I pronounce your name??
