Addicted Movie Cast News: William Levy Is 'Missing Talent,' Says Telenovela Star Jorge Salinas
William Levy may be known as a handsome leading man to Latino viewers, but some are not so sure.
Earlier this year, a Mexican television company launched a campaign called "Galanes de Telenovela," which focused on the leading men of these soap operas. There were rumors that certain older celebrities, such as Fernando Colunga, would not participate because he didn't believe the younger men were on his level, notes TV Notas.
Sebastián Rulli, Cristian de la Fuente, Eduardo Yañez and William Levy all participated in the campaign. Levy even stood up for himself and the other younger men, saying that it meant more room for new talent.
Jorge Salinas also appeared in the promotional images, but he's not happy with who made the final cut.
"I would have taken out half the actors," Salinas said. "Fernando Colunga wasn't there, Jaime Camil either. They seem handsome to me. Colunga is one of the great stars and should have been there."
And the actor didn't stop just there.
He decided to say what he really thought about William Levy.
"People really like William Levy. What can I say?" he said. "He's missing talent, absolutely, but people like him."
Levy has started to make his moves on Hollywood. Just this year, he will have three American movies under his belt. He also has a few films lined up for next year. Late last year, the Cuban actor said he was moving away from telenovelas because it was too much of a time commitment.
But if is true that Levy laughed off Colunga's comments, then it's likely the actor will just brush off Salinas', too.
Either way, the actor finds himself focused on promoting his upcoming movie "Addicted" and spending time with his family.
