Witness Camil’s Transformation Into a Woman on “Por ella soy Eva”

The oh-so-hunky Jaime Camil is giving new meaning to the phrase “Ladies man”…

Jaime Camil

The 38-year-old Mexican actor/singer is playing a man and a woman in his upcoming telenovela Por ella soy Eva with Lucero.

Meet Eva María Lion Jaramillo, the woman that Camil’s character Juan Carlos Caballero transforms into as a way of getting closer to Lucero’s character Elena.

Camil—who will also be singing the theme song to the highly anticipated telenovela, based on the Colombian hit Los tacones de Evareleased a picture of his character’s alter ego via Twitter just moments before filming scenes from the episode in which she first appears.

On his Twitter page, Camil wrote: “Never will I find a way to thank you all for your beautiful words from tonight for Eva, it’s a privilege to work for you all.”

Meanwhile, Heidi Balvanera, Camil’s girlfriend and the mother of his daughter Elena, wrote on her Twitter page: “I am so proud of @jaimecamil for his portrayal of Eva that the emotion doesn’t fit in my chest! Without doubt, it will be a well-deserved success.”

Camil’s transformation into a woman—which includes bust, hip and rear prosthetics—takes about two hours. And, he has to wear a girdle to help give him a curvier figure.

Producer Rosy Ocampo told Notimex that she’d spoken with Camil about interpreting the theme song and participating in the telenovela.

After several months of work and a lot of thought, the creative concept of the telenovela has changed to have Camil’s character appear as a woman. So along with appearing as Juan Carlos Caballero, a machista, Camil will be transformed into Eva as a way of conquering the love of Elena (Lucero).

Por ella soy Eva is slated to premiere on February 20.
