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.

Lucero’s Next Telenovela: Por ella soy Eva

Lucero isn’t taking a break after hosting last week’s high-octane Latin Grammy Awards.

The 42-year-old Mexican actress/singer has started filming her next highly anticipated telenovela, Por ella soy Eva.

She’ll appear opposite 38-year-old Mexican actor and singer Jaime Camil in the new telenovela.

“Now that they’ve announced that Por ella soy Eva will being taping, I’m happy,” exclaimed Lucero, who last starred in the oh-so-popular Soy Tu Dueña, which could be getting an American remake soon. “Happy, touched and with many beautiful expectations.”

Lucero will star as Elena—a single mother with an 8-year-old child—in the telenovela, which will center on a great man who falls in love for the first time and finds himself involved in a series of situations that force him to live “in the heels of a woman.”

Produced by Rosy Ocampo, the telenovela is a new version of the Colombian hit Los tacones de Eva.

Por ella soy Eva will premiere on Mexican television on February 12, 2012.
