Vice Ganda, Shinare ang Workout Routine Niya Para sa "Darna" Role

Once again, the ball is rolling on the search for the next "Darna." Ever since Liza Soberano backed out from this role, many celebrities have already expressed their interest in being the next iconic Pinay superheroine. Indeed, many are battling for this most-coveted role.

According to the director, Erik Matti, the actress who will play "Darna" should embody the qualities of a strong and independent woman. Since this role is also physically-demanding, the aspirants are preparing themselves for strenuous stunts.

Among these hopefuls is Kapamilya comedian Vice Ganda. Earlier this week, Vice shared an update on social media about his exercise routine.

According to the "It's Showtime" host, this is his first time going to the gym. Apparently, he is also interested in coveting the role:

"First time kong mag gym!!! Feeling ko ang payat payat ko na. I do not know lang ha!"

On his Instagram stories, the comedian also jokingly quipped that he is preparing for the "Darna" role. In one of his stories, Vice captioned it with "workout routine" and "preparing for Darna."

While many fans were amused with Vice's updates, some had other things in mind. It seems like other people took Vice's statements seriously. According to some netizens, our country is not progressive yet to let a gay actor play this iconic superheroine.
