During The Cure’s media conference, Jennylyn confessed she’s actually afraid of guns and explosions, “First time ko, kasi medyo takot ako sa mga baril, sa mga sabog. Kapag New Year nga eh nagtatago ako. Kasi ayoko talaga ng mga putok at mga pagsabog talaga.”
She then elaborated how she gets over her fears to do her scenes, “Ang ginagawa ko naglalagay ako ng ear plugs para kahit gaano kalakas eh hindi ako natatakot.”

Jennylyn may be new to some action scenes, but she’s been a fitness and martial arts enthusiast for years, something she uses to her advantage for her roles. “Bumalik na po ako sa Jiu-Jitsu tapos ‘yung reaction training ko ‘yung Balintawak, tuloy-tuloy lang siya. Nagamit ko po. Noon pa naman po ginagawa ko na siya parang seven to eight years na akong nag-pa-praktis ng Jiu-Jitsu. Binalik ko lang siya ngayon.”
