Married to Non-Celebrity

Peric, 42, is married to his longtime girlfriend for some years now. He considers not to bring his wife into glare of his fame and therefore has been very secretive about her. He hasn't even revealed her name nor is she spotted in public with her husband that much. We totally respect the privacy concern of the actor's wife but would surely want to have a glimpse of her if possible.

Has a Son 

The 'Under the Same Roof' star also has a son with his wife. Like his wife, very few is known about his child too other than the fact that he was born in 2016. He has been keeping his son away from the reach of media and also he never uploads any picture of his young one's.

Had to Leave Dream of Animation

When Darko was just 14 years old, he wanted to and was ready to enter the best animation school in his country because of his artistic aspirations. He was accepted by the school and was just ready to begin his days in the school when suddenly war broke out. The devastating event not only shattered the whole country but also broke his dreams of learning animations. 

Teaches Qigong

Besides being a sensational actor, Darko is also a Qigong expert. For those who don't know what the term 'Qigong' is, it is a kind of martial art developed through Buddhist religion from China. Not only the actor knows the skill of the martial arts, but he also teaches people across the globe by giving masterclasses named 'Qigong, physical and mental preparation for actors'. He believes in sharing knowledge to other people helps to master you in that.
