William Levy Twitter & Telenovela Rumors: 'La Tempestad' Star to Make Return to Telenovelas?
William Levy was last seen in "La Tempestad" on Univision, and he may be making his return to telenovelas in 2015.
TV y Novelas reports that Levy may be finding the time between movie projects to star in a series produced by Rosy Ocampo. Coming off of the successful "Que Pobres Tan Ricos," Ocampo is getting ready for her next telenovel, which would air sometime in 2015.
The producer wants Levy to star alongside Altair Jarabo.
Neither Levy nor Jarabo have confirmed or denied the rumors.
Just this year, Levy will have appeared in three films. "Addicted" is his upcoming film that will be released in October. In it, Levy plays a painter who starts a relationship with a married woman.
He also has two films lined up for 2015.
Levy has been trying to break into Hollywood, and seems to be well on his way to accomplishing his goal. He previously explained that he left telenovelas because of the time commitment.
As the father of two young children, he doesn't want to be away from home for too long.
"At least over there [in the United States], you work intensively for three months during filming and then you rest for two [months] to spend time and relax with your family and kids," he said. "I think it's too much work for now; it's tiring. Telenovelas is the most unavoidable work from theater and film. It's really difficult. There are too many hours involved."
Unlike Telemundo, which is shot in the United States, most telenovelas that air on Univision are filmed in Mexico. The shows are made by Mexican company Televisa.
Telemundo is based in the United States, but it doesn't have as great a following as Univision, who ranked as the No. 1 network for the 9 p.m. time slot because of "Lo Que La Vida Me Robó."
