In Hollywood, genuine friendships forged off-screen often shine as brightly as the blockbusters they come from. Such is the case with Amy Adams and Gal Gadot, who not only lit up the screen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice but also built a delightful bond behind the scenes. Their camaraderie recently resurfaced in a hilariously endearing moment that took place during a late-night talk show — a moment that left fans both amused and charmed.
A Sleepover Slip Turns Into Talk Show Gold
Amy Adams, known for her Oscar-nominated performances and wide range of roles across indie films and big-budget hits, portrayed the iconic Lois Lane in Zack Snyder’s DC Universe. Alongside her, Gal Gadot stepped into the role of Wonder Woman, making history as the franchise’s first female superhero lead. Despite the testosterone-heavy cast including Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, Adams and Gadot quickly bonded, becoming fast friends during the filming process.
Their on-set friendship extended into real life, with the two spending quality time together outside of work. One of those off-screen hangouts became the unexpected centerpiece of a comedic highlight during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s talk show, where the cast of Batman v Superman was being interviewed.
As the group reminisced, actress Holly Hunter mentioned how close Adams and Gadot had become. Gadot chimed in, beginning to describe a night they had spent together. But a small misstep in English led to a moment that had the entire audience — and Adams herself — bursting with laughter.
“Oh my god, we slept together… I am sorry, it’s my English, no — we had a slumber party,” Gadot clarified, clearly flustered and laughing at her own slip-up. Conan, never one to miss a punchline, jokingly added that the show had a “clip from the party,” escalating the hilarity.
Adams’ reaction was pure comedic gold — a mixture of shock, laughter, and affectionate amusement. The warmth between the two actresses was impossible to miss, and fans quickly embraced the moment as a testament to their genuine connection. This humorous exchange not only showcased their chemistry but also underscored the supportive friendship that bloomed during the often-stressful environment of a major studio film.
Amy Adams Stands by Gadot Amid Criticism
What makes the Adams-Gadot bond even more meaningful is the support they’ve shown for one another off-camera. When Gal Gadot’s casting as Wonder Woman faced online backlash, Adams didn’t hesitate to defend her co-star. Rather than entertain the noise, Adams focused on the strength Gadot brought to the role and offered unwavering encouragement — a gesture that helped cement their friendship further.
This type of solidarity is rare in a highly competitive industry and speaks volumes about Adams’ character. Her willingness to stand by Gadot and help create a safe space of friendship and collaboration shows why she remains one of the most respected actresses in the industry today.
What’s Next for Amy Adams: A Bold Leap in Nightbitch
After delighting audiences in Disenchanted in 2022, Amy Adams is ready to surprise viewers once again — this time in a much darker, more surreal role. Her next project, Nightbitch, promises to be one of her boldest performances yet.
Based on the acclaimed 2021 novel by Rachel Yoder, Nightbitch follows the unsettling and darkly humorous journey of a stay-at-home mom who becomes convinced she’s turning into a dog. Yes, you read that right.
The horror-comedy — slated to premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival before its wide release on December 6 — embraces absurdity while exploring themes of motherhood, identity, and transformation. Co-star Scoot McNairy has described the film as “weird, grounded, but not grounded,” praising Adams for her fearless performance.
“She’s phenomenal in it,” McNairy said in a recent interview. “I laughed, I thought it was funny, and it couldn’t be more truthful in this sort of world.”
With a cast that also includes Zoë Chao, Mary Holland, Jessica Harper, and rising stars Arleigh and Emmett James Snowden, Nightbitch is shaping up to be a daring departure from traditional genre films. Early buzz suggests it could become a cult favorite for cinephiles craving something offbeat yet deeply relatable.
From Lois Lane to “Nightbitch”: Amy Adams Continues to Evolve
Amy Adams has never been one to play it safe. Her career has spanned genres, tones, and studios — from emotional dramas to satirical comedies, fantasy musicals, and now, a psychological horror-comedy that defies categorization. The viral talk show moment with Gal Gadot only adds to her approachable, down-to-earth image — a woman with immense talent, a great sense of humor, and the ability to form authentic connections in an industry not always known for them.
As audiences await the release of Nightbitch, one thing is certain: Amy Adams continues to redefine what it means to be a leading actress in Hollywood — one daring choice, and one unforgettable moment, at a time.
