Angel Locsin is no newbie when it comes to challenging stunts and action-packed scenes. As a veteran actress now, Angel has been through a lot of scenes that required agility and a sound body. Her first major roles as Alwina for "Mulawin" back in 2004 even had to make her fly for a while as a human-bird hybrid! She even became Darna, the legendary Filipina superhero from Mars Ravelo. With all the daring roles she has done, what can't this amazing and award-winning actress can't do?
That's why when she was cast to play the titular role of Rhian Bonifacio in the biggest teleserye of ABS-CBN so far, "The General's Daughter" we can already picture Angel clad in a fatigue uniform fiting for our rights.
However this might be Angel's most dang3rous role yet. Because aside from the action scenes, Angel chose to do all her stunts by herself. Normally, big stars in the Philippine and the international entertainment industry will have a stunt double for more challenging scenes, but she actually chose to do it herself. The stunts included punch1ng bad guys, climbing cars, and h1jacking a car from below.
Unsurprisingly, this took a toll on Angel's body. She had to endure several pains. But the one that worried the netizens the most are the marks on her knees. There are scrapes and purple blotches on her knees!
While fans admired Angel for her dedication towards her job, other netizens scolded her for her lack of safety precautions or even regard for her health. They advised her to make sure that she is careful with work and that no job is worth risking your life for.
