Ever since Jane de Leon was announced as the new female superhero Darna, she admitted she has sacrificed a lot for the coveted role.
According to the showbiz newcomer, despite the good that comes with her role, she has sacrificed a lot of time for her family and for herself.
“Emotionally po sobrang hirap. Siguro yung mga ibang tao sinasabi nila, ‘Ang swerte naman niyan naging Darna siya. Swerte naman ng batang ito,’ pero sobrang grabe yung kailangan mong ibuhos sa dedikasyon para dito at ang dami ko nang sinakripisyo para sa projektong ito,” she said in a report from Pilipino Star Ngayon.
“Yung oras po is number one. Yung oras ko sa family ko, oras ko sa sarili ko and lahat yon binuhos ko sa pagte-training ko. Minsan umiiyak na ako kasi sobrang hirap po talaga. Per naalala ko lang yung dating ginagawa ko, na kung nalampasan ko yung isang taon na paghihirap, yung isang araw na pagtitiis, bakit hindi ko malalampasan,” she shared.
The actress said she is grateful for the opportunity because it has always been a dream of hers to get a big role in the industry.
“Kahit naman po sinong artistang nagsisimula, naghahangad ng big break. Pero sa panahon po kasi ngayon, araw-araw may sumusulpot na bagong artista, may nadi-discover na gustong magkaroon ng proyekto. Kaya sabi ko noon, ‘mamapansin pa ba ako? Ano pa ba ang kailangan kong gawin para lang makamit yung tamang break para sa akin,’” Jane said.
Jane is managed by Tyrone Escalante. According to the young star, she will not leave her manager even if she is now under Star Magic.
“Nag-promise po talaga ako sa kanya na ba lang araw kapag nakakuha kami ng magandang proyekto, hindi ko siya iiwan. Pareho kasi kaming nangangarap noon, kaya alam ko rin yung hirap na pinagdaanan niya,” she said.
