Joshua Garcia, who plays police officer Brian Robles in the new TV series “Darna,” had a topless scene in the series which is expected to send his fans giddy.
The topless scene has gone viral on social media, resulting in various memes.
“Na-convince ako kasi siyempre nasa tamang edad na naman ako at hindi naman siya sobrang laswa. Nahirapan lang akong mag-prepare. Medyo nagbuhat ako nang konti. Hindi ako sanay nang nagbubuhat, eh. So, ‘yun, konting preparation. Parang labas din siya sa comfort zone ko,” Garcia explained during the face-to-face grand mediacon for the series last Monday, Aug. 8.
(I was convinced to do it since I am of age and it is not obscene. I had a hard time to prepare. I lifted weights a little. I am not used to lifting. So, that’s it, a little preparation. It was somewhat out of my comfort zone.)
Meanwhile, working anew with Chito Roño is a welcome thing for Garcia since he likes him as a director and as a friend.
“Gusto ko kung paano siya magtrabaho. Gusto ko kung paano siya bilang kaibigan,” he declared. (I like how he works. I like how he is as a friend.)
“Bilang kaibigan, sobrang cool lang niya. Sumasabay siya sa amin nina Young JV and LA Santos. Sobrang cool niyang si direk Chito as in sasabayan niya lahat ng trip mo kaya sobrang thankful ko na nakatrabaho,” he revealed.
(As a friend, he is so cool. He goes along with us, Young JV and LA Santos. He is so cool that he will ride along with whatever your trip is, that’s why I am so thankful working with him.)
Garcia also revealed that Roño really focuses on the details. The director wants to know everything before a scene is mounted.
“Darna” starts airing today, Aug. 15, via the Kapamilya Channel, A2Z and TV5. JB
