Diding Boneng Struggles with Asthma, Reveals Reasons for Rare Appearances on the Big Screen

Having not been seen on television or the big screen for a long time, senior actor Diding Boneng is apparently battling asthma. His health condition began to decline drastically after he completed the filming of a phenomenal movie a few years ago.

Diding admits that he now has to be more selective in accepting job offers in the acting world. Age and his less-than-optimal physical condition make him hesitant to take risks if he has to undergo heavy and exhausting filming.

This actor, known for his iconic character, mentioned that the film KKN di Desa Penari is the last feature film he starred in. After returning from the shooting location in Yogyakarta, his health began to decline.

"I last filmed three years ago, KKN. KKN 2 was filmed three years ago. Since then, I haven't filmed again, and I'm still unwell. So I still refuse if (the role) is too heavy. I'm not brave enough," explained Diding Boneng on Tuesday (31/12/2025).

The asthma he suffers from is the main obstacle in his activities on set. Even though many offers come in, Diding chooses to ask in detail about the workload before giving a yes.

"The pain of asthma. Yes, after filming I got sick. That was the last 2023 KKN, coming back from that, from Jogja, I’ve been sick since then. But it’s not because of that that I’m sick," said Diding Boneng.

Diding's decision to reject a heavy offer is not without reason. He does not want to hinder the production process of a film if he suddenly falls ill while on location far from health facilities.

"There are still (offers). I just ask first what the role is, what the scenes are like. Sorry, if it’s heavy I don’t want it. Because it will be troublesome for you too, as a crew it will be a hassle if I get sick on set. That’s it," Diding Boneng stated firmly.

Now, Diding spends most of his time on activities that are not too physically exhausting. Health has become his main priority at this age of nearing seventy. "As for the theater, God willing, I will be consistent. Even if I just sit here, it’s okay if I just sit while others practice in the theater. Because I am not able to move yet," concluded Diding Boneng.
