Cuban actor William Levy is experiencing a significant moment in his professional career. After years as a telenovela heartthrob, he arrived in Hollywood with great enthusiasm, and following his participation in several films and series, he decided to venture behind the camera with his film En brazos de un asesino.
Levy is deep in the promotion of the film, and when faced with the inevitable question about the people who inspire him, the actor fondly and gratefully recalled his mother, Bárbara, who had him when she was very young and single.
"I was born when my mom was 17. She was a single mother. I was born, and my mom was already separated from my dad, so I grew up with my mom and my grandmother; they were everything to me," she told Univisión.
The newly minted screenwriter emphasized that one of his greatest satisfactions is that his mother is proud of him and the person he has become.
"She is very happy about everything I have achieved and to see how my current interest is in supporting the Latino market," stated the 39-year-old actor.
Levy acknowledged that he is at a moment of maturity and reflection in his professional career. He has moved past the stage of wanting to act in everything possible and, instead, is focused on pursuing projects that inspire him, fulfill him, and support Latin cinema.
"I am growing; as the years go by, you start to see life differently. Everything changes. You transition from being an actor seeking opportunities for yourself to wanting to create things, create opportunities, and help our culture, to leave a legacy," he expressed.
The leading man from Sortilegio said he has realized that "one can contribute much more than one thought possible," and he is betting on that in his career.
"I'm in that situation now, wanting to contribute, wanting to help, wanting to create more opportunities not only for talent in front of the camera but also behind the scenes," he stated.
In the Arms of a Killer, which premieres today in the United States, is produced by William Levy Entertainment and tells the story of a killer portrayed by him. The film is an adaptation of the book Killing Sarai by J.A. Redmerski, and Levy was responsible for adapting the story and writing the script in Spanish.
