After her portayal of the beloved Pinoy superhero Darna onscreen, Mars Ravelo’s Darna lead actress Jane de Leon said that there is a lot more to the show than what people see onscreen, including having different variations of the Darna costumes on standby.

“We have 16 costumes. Ang hirap. it’s very hard kasi merong pang-beauty shots tapos meron ding pang-harness. Ang madugo talaga kapag harness. Kasi iba’t ibang harness ang meron kami. Siguro dun talaga kami tumagal. With makeup and costume, one hour, ganyan.

“Siguro dati nangangapa pa lang kami it took one hour and a half. And hindi rin kasi ako nagbibikini and swimsuits so grabe talaga yung nilunok ko talaga para lang makapag-two-piece,” she shared during the Darna Super mediacon held inside ABS-CBn last january 30.

Having to do fight scenes for both her dual roles as Narda and Darna was also an added challenge for Jane, who has been working on the series since 2019 when she was first announced to replace Liza Soberano who was initially chosen for the role.

“Actually ang hirap kasi dual role siya. Si Narda kasi nag-a-action rin siya not like with other Nardas before. Ang pagkakaiba nila, si Darna talagang meron siyang super strength. And because of my mom Leonor, na-train kaming dalawa ni Ding. Kaya naming makipaglaban,” she said.

During the presscon for the show’s last two weeks, Jane also revealed how Darna challenged her not just in acting but physically as well.

“Parang four years na ata akong lumilipad as Darna (laughs). Ang hindi ko makakalimutan, marami eh. Una sa lahat, yung mga taong naging parte sa buhay ko ngayon, mapa-director, staff, mga co-artists ko. Yung friendship hindi ko makakalimutan yun. And siyempre, yung mga galos ko sa katawan ko. Sabi ko nga, pumasok ako sa Darna na makinis yung balat ko. Lumabas ako na puro bugbog yung katawan ko (laughs). Before Darna, nag-Ang Probinsyano ako. Si Coco (Martin) yung nagsabi sa akin na, ‘Jane, normal lang maaksidente. So pagpasok mo ng Darna, marami pa yan.’ So yun na nga. Marami na nga yung na-experience ko (laughs),” she recalled.

Jane also talked about getting into multiple kinds of accidents while doing stunts on the series.

“Na-ER na ako and meron isang eksena ako with Josh (Joshua Garcia) na pagluhod ko sa kanya hindi ko alam na merong parang pako na nakaangat. Tapos tumagos siya sa tuhod ko so dugo siya ng dugo kasi sobrang sakit kasi sa may buto na siya banda. Pinipilit kong hindi umiyak, nagpapaka-strong ako pero ang sakit talaga so tinakbo ako ng ER for anti-tetanus.

“Nasuntok din ako ng stunt double ni Borgo. Grabe yung iyak ko dun. First time lang akong nasuntok sa buong buhay ko. Dito talaga sa mukha ko yung pasa. Namaga yung mukha ko nung time na yun.

“Nung natapilok ako two days din kaming pack up. Super dami talaga. Meron pa sa daliri nasipa din so muntik na siya ma-injured. Pero tuloy pa rin naman taping. Tinatago ko na lang siya kapag may fight scenes.

“Accidents siya eh, hindi talaga siya maiiwasan minsan. Pero kailangan mag-ingat talaga. Kaya dun sa mga gusto maging action star sa susunod, it’s very normal talaga na maaksidente. Basta ready ka lang and tatanggapin mo lang talaga kung ano yung trabahong pinapasok mo,” she shared.
