The famous and talented actor William Levy is at its best after the premiere of the telenovela Café con aroma de mujer on the Netflix platform, an adaptation that apparently did not have the same success when it was released on television.
Before the 41-year-old Cuban gained this fame and participated in multiple productions on Televisa and Telemundo, he made great efforts to be able to climb, to the point of being in a reality show to become known and gain a space on television and cinema. .
It turns out that William Levy was part of the reality show novel protagonists, of Telemundo, in 2003. The actor was one of the 12 members who fought for a position to win the leading role in a telenovela. A man and a woman would be the lucky ones.

What did William Levy do to win?
Curiously, Elizabeth Gutiérrez, William Levy’s partner until recently and mother of his two children, also competed in this edition; likewise, the Mexican actor Eric Elijah. However, you’re probably wondering what they have to do with Levy’s success story.
What happens is that William Levy met Elizabeth Gutiérrez here for the first time and started an affair with her, which brought a lot of ratings to the Telemundo program. On the other hand, there was Erick Elías, who at that time was his opponent, since only one of the men would obtain the coveted prize.
And this is where the bad relationship with Erick Elías was born, another matter that helped a lot to keep the young people of that time in the game. Both had very marked friction.

One day, as part of the reality show, a face-to-face challenge was made, in which each partner had to say what he thought of the other: “I think you came here with the idea of being like the ‘good guy’, a defender of humanity and women, but it is what I feel: I see you a little fake. I don’t believe it and it’s like what you talk about with your actions doesn’t coordinate much with me,” Erick told William.
To which Levy replied: “The truth is that I have been as I am. I don’t think it was false… Thus, the deal with the days became increasingly hostile, until it ended up exploding.
Claudia Lemos, another participant of Protagonistas de novela, had a lot to do with it, as she revealed that Erick Elías liked Elizabeth. William Levy was not far behind and spoke with Erick to ask him “not to approach Elizabeth, out of respect” (for her relationship).
Levy threatened his former reality partner “(…) I know you like him.” However, the Mexican made it clear that he did not feel anything for Elizabeth, more than a friendship.
