Gidi Gov

Gidi Gov is an Israeli singer, TV host, entertainer, and actor. He was married to playwright Anat Gov, with whom he has three children.

Gov was born in Rehovot in 1950 to Daniel and Tzipora Gov. As a child Gov suffered from asthma. Govs father died when he was very young, which made his mother move with him from place to place, including Tel Aviv and Eilat. Growing up, Gov never dreamed of becoming a singer. When he enlisted to the IDF in 1969 Yair Rosenblum recommended that Gov be auditioned for the Nahal entertainment troupe. Gov passed the auditions and joined the Nahal entertainment troupe. There Gov actually began his acting and singing career.
