Biography of William Levy
William Levy was born in 1980 in the village of Kojimar, located on the island of Cuba. The villagers fished year round to secure their food. The Levi family had three sons, William is the oldest.
He did not know his father because he was raised by his stepfather. It was thanks to this man that William moved to Miami and received American citizenship.
Since then, William was possessed by thoughts of the "great American dream", and he began to think about where he could realize his abilities and ambitions.
He attended Barbara Goleman High School, where there was a strong baseball team. There Levy was able to learn to play baseball pretty well, but it didn't give him the inspiration he expected. Then the young man plunged into the study of administrative business, but this did not bring him satisfaction either. He soon realized that his calling was to be an actor.
Career in film and modeling business

There he was noticed by advertising agents, and soon William signed a contract with one of the largest agencies. It was a very interesting job: moving from country to country around the world, shows at famous fashion designers.
However, the world of cinema and theater was closer to him, and soon Levi entered the Puerto Rico theater and played there in theatrical productions. He also dreams of acting in films.
His wish came true in 2006, when he was cast in the telenovelas My Life Is You (2006) and Hunted (2007).
The work captivated the young actor, and soon he again starred in the television series "Passion", now in Mexico. In the same year, Levy gets the main role in the TV series Beware of the Angel.
This role made him a celebrity, and offers from agents began to come in more and more often. The following years were filled with creativity: every year the actor starred in films or TV series, playing the main roles. His portfolio already includes more than twenty works in cinema, there are many plans ahead, including the production of films and television projects.
And what about the modeling business? Now William advertises Toyota cars, the Miami Club Rum restaurant and is the official face of the Magnat fragrance.
Personal life
In 2006, People magazine published a list of the eligible bachelors, and William Levy was in the fiftieth place. The rating took into account many qualities, one of them is sexuality. However, Levy does not consider himself handsome and calls himself "an ordinary guy."
But that's not all - by that time, William already had a common-law wife and two children. Elizabeth Gutierros, actress and model, became his chosen one. In 2006, the couple had a son, Christopher, and in 2010, a daughter, Kylie.
In his spare time, William continues to play baseball with great enthusiasm, keeping in good shape.
