Turns out [Wonder Woman](http://time.com/4420538/wonder-woman-trailer-comic-con/?iid=sr-link4) has a lot in common with mere mortals—she too was cool with the idea of kissing Isla Fisher. Unlike mere mortals, though, she actually got to do it. 

Gal Gadot, who bears the silver bracelets and lasso of truth in the [upcoming _Wonder Woman_ movie](http://time.com/4186529/wonder-woman-first-footage/?iid=sr-link3), stopped by _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ on Wednesday to discuss her _other_ film, _Keeping Up With the Joneses_, and her co-star, Isla Fisher. 

Host Jimmy Kimmel was very eager to talk about Gadot’s and Fisher’s kissing scene in the movie, and Gadot was game because she says it’s why she agreed to do the movie in the first place. “That’s why I signed the movie to begin with,” Gadot explained. “They said there’s a kiss scene and I was like eh and…with Isla Fisher and I was like, oh! I’m in.”

When Kimmel pressed for details, Gadot rolled her eyes and said, “You [sound](http://time.com/4526039/donald-trump-locker-room-athletes/?iid=sr-link1) like my husband.” This should not be a surprise as, according to the comic book author, [Wonder Woman is queer](http://time.com/4513668/wonder-woman-queer-steve-rucka/?iid=sr-link1) after all.

Watch the full clip above.
