Believe it or not, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman stunt double was the same woman who played the terrifying Diana in last year’s Lights Out!
Directed by David F. Sandberg, Lights Out introduced the horror world to a potential new icon in the form of Diana, a creative villain who quite literally only exists in the darkness. When you turn the lights off, she appears. When you flick them back on, she’s gone as fast as she came.
The character, bathed mostly in darkness throughout much of the movie (with only her piercing eyes illuminated), was played by Alicia Vela-Bailey, who underwent an extensive makeup process in order to be transformed from beautiful actress to creepy movie monster. Diana cuts a chilling silhouette in the film, but most of that makeup was not actually seen on screen.
So what did Vela-Bailey look like when the makeup team got done with her? Peeling back the curtain, the actress/stunt-woman just uploaded a couple crazy behind the scenes shots to her Instagram (@aliciavelabailey), revealing Diana in all her glory.
“So while in this make up I had to have my grilled cheese sandwich chopped up into little pieces and I used a toothpick to eat with because my fingers were so long and sticky,” she humorously captioned one of the photos. “Oh the glorious life of a creepy monster!”
