The trailer for the upcoming Mars Ravelo’s Darna had netizens gasping for air after seeing Kapamilya star Joshua Garcia topless Thursday, July 7.
The three-minute preview became a trending topic in the Philippines, with the #DarnaTrailer because of how well-made it was. However, Garcia, who plays police officer Brian Samonte Robles, was shown holding a gun, half-naked, while peeking to the window, stealing the show.
A netizen tweeted, “Maganda ‘yung trailer ng darna” while sharing pictures of the actor, with and without his uniform—well, three of them were of the Kapamilya star without his clothes.

The actor seldom shows some skin in his roles. It surprised netizens to see him just like this one:
