William Levy's English Isn't Very "Good-Looking," but Who Cares? We're Addicted

Addicted, the steamy sex saga based on Urban Erotica Queen Zane's bestselling novel, is not hitting the screens until Oct. 10, but a panel at the Urbanworld Film Festival this past weekend was already celebrating the release. With Zane, director Bille Woodruff, and three muscular, gay-friendly stars Boris (Soul Food) Kodjoe, supermodel Tyson Beckford, and actor/Dancing with the Stars sensation William Levy in attendance, the audience was never less than frenzied.
"Take off your shirt, William" was a frequent scream.
If you are not familiar with Zane's oeuvre, and you should be -- she's sold over 5 million books with at least 14 New York Times bestsellers -- her Addicted tells the tale of a happily wed African-American mother of three who discovers that adultery with numerous well-hung partners can feel good physically yet can cause a bit of emotional stress -- and that's not counting a few deaths.
A highlight of the book is the nacho cheese scene that did not make it into the film. Zoe, the errant wife, recalls for her shrink: "I sat my drink down on the floor, took the cup of warm cheese sauce that came with the nachos, and poured half of it all over his [genitalia]. He flinched. 'Oops, my bad, let me get that for you.' I leaned over and . . ."
Zoe is so proficient at oral sex, and on her very first time, no one can believe she's not a pro. Hopefully, she's also not lactose intolerant. No wonder host Bevy Smith of Bravo's Fashion Queens opened the event with: "Forget 50 Shades of Grey. We're going to be talking about 100 Hues of Black."
After adding that Zane's erotica has caused more than a few women to miss their subway stops, she introduced the cast. When a brouhaha accompanied Levy's introduction, Kodjoe warned, "I got a mancrush on William. Stay away from William, okay. He's all mine."
Beckford, who was chowing down on super-sized strawberry Twizzlers, countered, "No, baby, he's mine."
Clips from the film were then shown, displaying the gents in various states of undress with actress Sharon Leal.
This caused Smith to ask Zane, "Do you believe every woman wants a bad boy?"
"Oh, yeah," she replied. "We all do. Some of us go for it. Other ones lives their lives vicariously through the women in books." She later added that her books are about "women's empowerment, Sexuality is the area where they feel the least comfortable. And if they can feel empowered and liberated in that area, there's a trickle down effect into other aspects of their lives. You can tell when women are having great sex. You can tell when they're not.Their skin is dry. Their hair is brittle. When they are having a good sex life, they come to my house bringing red velvet cupcakes."
Kodjoe wondered where his wife's cupcakes were.
Then I changed the subject slightly to the guys' gay following. Semi-nude shots of them all are on hundreds of gay websites. What do they feel about their fevered male admirers?
"I feel great about it," Kodjoe responded with a healthy smile.
"I don't mind," Beckford admitted as chomped down on more candy while Instagramming. "I got naked pictures out there anyway."
Kodjoe added, "I don't differentiate or discriminate. Love is love. Whatever floats your boat is all good."
As for Levy, whose early underwear ads are still quite popular Google attractions, "They're great. I love them all. Women. Gays. I have an uncle who is gay, and I saw him going through a lot of stuff back in Cuba when I wasn't well known. A sad scene. I'm sorry. My English isn't very goodlooking. So I respect them. They're all really very nice people. Human beings. You got to give it to them."
(On October 9th, there will be a repeat of the Addicted panel, which will be broadcast live to 340 theatres nationwide from the AMC Magic Johnson Theater in New York, and audiences will have the opportunity to ask questions via Twitter. For more information, contact Fathom Events.)

William Levy is promoting his new feature film called "Addicted," based on the best-selling novel by Zane. The thriller is about a woman who cheats on her husband and then faces the consequences of possibly having her family destroyed. In the film starring Sharon Leal, Boris Kodjoe and Kat Graham, Levy plays Quentin Matthews a struggling artist that becomes the desire of the lead character. Sex is obviously the addiction in this film, but what is the 34-year-old Cuban actor addicted to? "I am addicted to love, my children, kindness, food, México, taquitos, I am addicted to a lot of things, happiness," he told morning show "Hoy." Levy, as many know, is most famously known for turning up the heat on primetime with telenovelas like "La Tempestad," "Sortilegio" and "Cuidado Con El Angel."
It was the Mexican soaps that made him a household name in the Latino community in the U.S. and fans await his return. As he experiments with film in Hollywood his plans are to focus in that industry, but doesn't rule out the possibility of making a return. "For now we are focused in film and we are thinking about that," he said. "Further down the line, God willing, I would like to do something here in México, I enjoy México, I love México." A couple days ago, Thalía mentioned that if she would return to the genre she would like it to be with the hunky star. Lili Estefan interviewed her for "El Gordo y La Flaca" where she said, "20 really make you doubt." Estefan quipped and said, "I have 20 and a William Levy." Thalia quickly reacted with a great smile on her face, "Well then, maybe."
William Levy is very private with family matters and there are always rumors swirling regarding his marital status with Elizabeth Gutierrez. The actor didn't say anything about that, but he did mention he is open with fans. "I share with everyone that follows me on Twitter and Instagram things in my private life," he said. "I let them know a little bit about my work, but also share moments of my life, what I do on a day-to-day basis and any little thing that can make them feel closer to my personal life."

Levy is soon going to be promoting his new movie everywhere. "Addicted" will premiere in October. The actor has already started talking about this role and how happy he was with the richness of the character.
"My character is so incredible," he said. "So complete. He's one of the most complete characters one can play in a movie."
Levy also shared a poster from the movie, which he is featured on.
In the story, he plays a painter. A woman falls in love with him, even though she is married and has children.
The former telenovela star thought the story was compelling.
"It's an interesting story because nowadays, I don't what the percentage of people that have this disease, sex addiction, but it's something serious," he said. "This woman has her perfect family."
When Levy isn't busy working, he is definitely posting about his children. He recently had his son and daughter pour ice cold water on him for the Ice Bucket Challenge.
