Becky Gomez (Becky G for short) has had an amazing ride since joining the cast of Power Rangers, but there was one moment in particular that she remembers most.

It was the moment she truly became a Power Ranger, something she describes on the Blu-ray of the film as almost a relief. She elaborated what that meant in a sit-down with ComicBook.com.
“Well, the relief came from different places. One the relief that I actually fit into the suit. Man, the pressure to fit into the suit. You know how much money they spend on it. How much time you know it takes to make them and you just want to make sure, alright I don’t want to be the bozo who like comes in and had too many French fries and then the suit doesn’t fit and says, “What are we going to do?”
“So that was a relief on that end,” said Gomez, “and then I think the relief that I was talking about was really just like this I can’t believe this is really happening. Like, I’m a superhero.”
Gomez also recalls the long process of actually putting on the suit, envisioning herself as a Power Rangers the entire time.
“I’ll never forget going into my last audition when I officially got to meet the casting directors, Dean, and they … It was like me and about I want to say three other girls and they fit all of us. They took all of our measurements and I remember when the wardrobe woman was measuring me with this measuring tape and I had my eyes closed and I literally was just envisioning myself in the suit.”
“And she’s even measuring my head and I was imagining what my head was going to be like and how I was going to feel in the helmet and even down to my fingertips, ” said Gomez. “You know what I mean? And I was just like thinking to myself of the Power Ranger gloves, the Power Ranger suit, like what is it going to look like? I was just picturing it. And then so when we had the suits and after the hour long process of getting it on for the first time. And standing there in front of the mirror, it was like so surreal. It was like I opened my eyes and there I was in the suit. You know what I mean?”
