William Levy is not taking his shirt off anymore! Gasp! Hopefully your DVR is filled with episodes of "La Tempestad" because it may be the last telenovela he appears in for a long time. Levy explained his shocking decision to take a break from novelas, but also took time to assure fans that he is proud of his telenovela work. Levy, who rose to fame with prominent roles on steamy soaps, seems to be taking some personal time after his role ends on "La Tempestad."

Levy revealed, "Making these novelas is hard work, and as time passes, you find other priorities in life. You start getting a feeling in your stomach to be with your children and spend more time with them." Filming telenovelas is demanding work, and provide little flexibility for the main characters, so with his family and growing career, the move to Hollywood is expected.

Aside from spending time with his two children, Christopher and Kailey, Levy is focused on the silver screen. Life after Damian Fabre seems promising for the Cuban-American star, who has two films slated for release in 2014. In his upcoming film, "Single Mom's Club," written and directed by Tyler Perry, Levy will play a character named Manny. He will also star in the thrilling drama "Addicted," which is based on a novel of the same name by Zane; he will perform the role of Quentin.

Levy will also be putting his "Dancing With the Stars" skills to good use in an upcoming film called "Salsa," also starring Jada Pinkett-Smith. The pair will meet when Levy, a salsa instructor, literally sweeps Jada off her feet. Despite Levy's wish to keep his clothes off, with salsa and romance comes sex, and of course shirtless scenes!
