Jane de Leon admitted that she experienced several accidents while doing her Darna stunts.
After several delays, De Leon’s Darna still pushed through as the series had already started its shooting.
In an interview with the actress on June 16, De Leon shared that she had accidents while shooting her fight scenes in Darna.
She said that she was even hospitalized but still chooses to go back on set.
“Preparation for actions actually yung mga stunt team namin is from Australia. We don’t want naman na masyadong mag expect ang ating mga Kapamilya, ating mga netizens pero hangga’t maaari, binibigay talaga namin ang best namin para maging maganda ‘yung ginagawa namin.
“About accidents, ilang beses na po ako na-aaksidente. Sa totoo lang po talaga na-ospital na rin po ako and dumating sa point na kailangan na rin po ako bigyan ng shot ng anti-tetanus. And ‘yung mga bagay na ganun, hindi po siya talaga maiiwasan sa action e, pero kahit ganun po, you just need to rest lang and laban lang ulit, ganun lang po talaga siya” said the Kapamilya star.
De Leon then explained that she continues to endure the hardships as she finds strength in wearing her Darna costume.
“Actually super naging emotional ako noong unang beses ko suotin ang costume from how many years na naghintay mga almost two years siguro ‘yun and now ma experience ko na talaga ang pagiging Darna. More on exercise talaga dapat, kailangan well maintained balance diet kailangan ganun.” she said.
Jane De Leon was first announced as the lead star for Mars Ravelo’s Darna: The TV Series in 2019. But because of COVID-19, along with the shutdown of ABS-CBN in 2020, the series was postponed. But the actress is set to fly soon as the series already started shooting.
