As Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot can do anything - apart from getting people to pronounce her name correctly.

You've probably been calling her Gal Gah-dote or Gal Gah-doh all this time. Or maybe you're not at all sure and have been mumbling her surname, hoping no one will notice.

But the Israeli actress recently cleared up the confusion by telling Jimmy Kimmel it's actually pronounced Gal Gad-dott.

She's not the only one who's struggled with name issues. Here are a few other famous faces whose name you may have been saying wrong: JK Rowling, Amanda Seyfried, Martin Scorsese, Barbra Streisand, Shia LaBeouf, Charlize Theron, Matt Groening, Susan Sarandon.
