Alexandra Gottardo's Story of Accident During Filming Because She Refused to Use Stuntman, Eyebrows Swollen

The beautiful actress born in Malang then discussed with the director to avoid using a substitute actor or stuntman as much as possible, unlike in some other films.

Seeing Alexandra Gottardo's seriousness, initially the director and film crew were a little worried about her safety.

"What I usually see in movies is that when there are stunt men or stunt girls, sometimes they can be seen (as stand-ins), still recognizable. So I try my best to beg (director) Billy and Mike, 'let me do it, let me do it, let me do it' like that," said Alexandra Gottardo at Epicentrum, Jakarta, on Tuesday (14/3/2023).

"Then they ask, “what if something happens and we need (the character) Melati tomorrow?" she continued. 

According to Alexandra Gottardo, because she doesn't use stand-ins, she had a small accident. A metal hook used as a prop during filming fell and hit her temple.

"Using a car like a crane. The steel wire was swinging. Because the fall was too fast, the steel was swinging and none of us knew. So it hit my temple, swollen. That's what happened," said Alexandra Gottardo.

As a result, the shooting process was temporarily halted. Fortunately, Alexandra's temple quickly healed and shooting resumed as expected.

"Yes (shooting was temporarily halted) because it was swollen. It only took a few hours (because the swelling had already subsided)," she said.
