Talking About.... William Levy


Recently I discovered this absolutely beautiful man..While searching for individuals  that would appeal and would actually fit the descriptions of the wonderful Malory family.. I saw a few pictures of William and fell headlong into lust. This was truly amazing since I have a very decided taste for Tall Dark and Handsome..   And William reminded me of the boys on the beach that I grew up with.. well he is way prettier but that same look.. But along with his looks he has an amazing body and tempting bit of a darkside.. At least that is how I see it..

So I do the video but almost all the pictures were from Spanish Speaking sites.. he hadn't made the crossover complete yet. Then along comes Dancing with the stars and WHAMMO the man is everywhere.. why? Because he is gorgeous, charming and oh so SEXY..

Since I already dedicated TWO ManCandy Monday's to Mr Levy I thought I would do a little research on him..

From Williams Bio on WilliamLevy.net


William Levy's life has always been marked by a strong determination. Levy was born in Cuba and very early on knew he would go after his dreams and hopes, even if it meant leaving his beloved country and risking his life. By age 15, Levy was living in Miami, Florida, where he attended high school and learned to speak English. The future would later prove to him that following his intuition and pursuing his goal of becoming an actor one day was worth every effort.

Levy's incursion in acting was a supporting role on Telemundo's Los Teens, a series about Hispanic teenagers growing up in the United States. Prior to Los Teens, Levy had appeared in two reality shows, also for Telemundo, and a music video. His modeling career also took off at this point and he was signed to one of the most prestigious national modeling agencies. Over the next two years, Levy traveled outside the country on several occasions to participate in runway shows and photo shoots. He lso appeared in numerous ad campaigns. But acting was his true passion and he was not willing to give it up. The next step towards achieving this dream was to move out to Los Angeles and start taking acting lessons, which he did while still booking modeling jobs and going to auditions.

In 2005, Levy landed a supporting role in Olvidarte Jamas, a Spanish-language soap opera production headed by Venevision. He was then asked to come back for their next two projects: Mi Vida Eres Tu and Acorralada, respectively. His big break came in 2007 when Levy was personally chosen by famed elevisa producer Carla Estrada to play the role of Vasco Darien in Pasion, an epic novella production set in Mexico's colonial period. Levy gained instant recognition and his acting career skyrocketed as a consequence of the novella's popularity. After Pasion, he traveled to Ecuador and participated in the movie Retazos de Vida. Shortly after, Levy returned to Mexico for his first leading role in Cuidado con el Angel, a soap opera production that consolidated him as one of Mexico's most sought-after leading actors. In 2009 he was cast as the lead in Sortilegio and received excellent reviews on this project, obtaining several awards for his work. In November 2009, the actor lent his voice to the animated movie Planet 51 in its Spanish version. The movie won Premios Goya, an award for best animated Spanish-language film of 2009. From November 2009 to February 2010, Levy toured several Mexican cities with the play Un Amante a la Medida, which later toured in the United States in June 2010. In October 2010 he was cast as the lead in Triunfo del Amor that aired thru July 2011. He also participated as a lead in the third season of the popular Mexican series, Mujeres Asesinas.

Levy enjoys playing all kinds of sports, but he considers himself an avid baseball fan. He currently resides between Mexico City and Miami, FL.

And then there was this rather informative article on Yahoo News

Dancing With' William Levy, the Latin Brad Pitt
Yahoo! TVBy Ruth Mercado for Yahoo! en Español | Yahoo! TV

William Levy has been getting hearts racing since his debut on Latin soap operas, but it was his debut this week on "Dancing With the Stars" that has him poised to become quite popular with U.S. viewers, too. Along with his partner Cheryl Burke, Levy scored an impressive 24 out of 30, cha-cha’ing his way into second place. However, “Team Fuego” didn’t just win over the judges with the dance that originated in his own country of Cuba; the audience could be heard screaming and applauding even before the performance started.

A wildly-loved romantic actor wildly loved by his Spanish-speaking fans, Levy has become better known as Jennifer Lopez's lover in her 2011 music video "I'm Into You." With the face of a Greek god and a body that doesn't stop, the "Brad Pitt of Mexico" is looking forward to competing for the mirror-ball trophy.

Of his participation in "DWTS," Levy told People en Español, "I'm not a professional dancer, but... when I put my mind into doing something, I give it 100%, especially in a competition where I'll be dancing to raise funds that will help Latin American children."

Here are five reasons why you should check him out as he competes for the mirror-ball trophy this spring:

(1) A "Novela" hunk: His first leading role in "Cuidado Con El Angel," an evening series aired by Univision, had some of the highest ratings on Spanish-language television in 2008, but it was his sexy scenes in 2009's "Sortilegio" that left the audience breathless and asking for more.


(2) J. Lo's man candy: William was chosen by Jennifer Lopez to play the love interest in her "I'm Into You" video, and it was rumored that there was more going on between them than acting. He has denied all the rumors: "I was very grateful for the invitation to work with her in the video. It was a beautiful experience. [Plus], who's going to say no to her? She's super beautiful, an amazing woman, down to earth and so nice. I felt bad [that the media] said all those things. I went to work, she went to work, we did our job."

Watch Jennifer Lopez and William Levy get steamy in her music video:








            *grins wickedly* I suggest you watch it without sound.. of course if they didn't show so much  of  JLO

(3) The good: He's a family man with a Jewish background; he's single with two kids by ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Gutierrez. "My children are my life," Levy told People en Español last year. "I am super happy. Having those two children is the most beautiful thing I've ever had in my life. They are amazing."

(4) The bad: He was accused of sexually abusing a female minor in Los Angeles. He denied the allegations and counter-sued for $10 million, alleging extortion and defamation. The case was later dropped.

(5) And the gorgeous: He had a career as an underwear model for N2N Bodywear before becoming an actor. Most recently, he was chosen in 2011 as one of People en Español’s "Sexiest Men Alive" and appeared on the cover of that issue. 


Now watch out all.. it gets a little naughty...

What I like best about William is he looks good in ANYTHING...

From a SUIT







To A COWBOY HAT *grins*
