Our newest Darna, Jane De Leon, has been receiving hate ever since the announcement of her casting. Apparently, she has been called out as just a โpretty faceโ who โcanโt act.โ A few days ago on Tonight With Boy Abunda, Jane decided to address these critiques.

On the subject of being undeserving to play the iconic role, Jane says audiences will just have to wait and see.
โHindi ko in-expect itong proyektong ito. Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga nakakataas na may nakita silang potential at pinagkatiwalaan nila ako. Siyempre ayaw ko silang ma-disappoint,โ she continues.
Jane also shares that she gets through comments like this because she is used to it. With the usual grind of role-hunting and auditions sometimes reaching a total of 10 hours per day, sheโs learned to thicken her skin to criticism. Jane has been faced with people telling her that she canโt act, that she โisnโt right for the roleโ, and even that she simply isnโt attractive. She has gotten through all of this with the help of her mom.
