William Levy on his nude photos: "There's nothing wrong with them" (VIDEO)

Although
William Levy has been one of the hottest
telenovela celebrities for some time now, he was pretty much unknown for the general American audience. But that changed with the new season of '
Dancing with the Stars', and now everybody is talking about him, his sexy moves and his hot body. Specially the latter.
As the media started to dig out William's past, they found that naked photo shoot we Latinos are familiar with, but the rest of the world was unaware of: In 2007, at the beginning of his career, the "Cuban Brad Pitt" posed as an underwear model in nothing but a black see-through thong or a hat covering THAT area.
Entertainment Tonight asked the actor about those racy photos. "I'm used to that already. They have been out already all over the world," he responded. "I was a model when I did these things, so as a model there's nothing wrong [with] doing those kind[s] of things. You gotta work. You gotta make money."
Levy even joked about all this buzz and says that at least he "was in good shape" for that photo shoot. "Thank God! Do you imagine not being in shape and those pictures all over the world? Man, that wouldn't be good!", he explained.
His dance partner, Cheryl Burke, confessed she had already seen the photos. "I had to do my homework! So, when in 'Good Morning America' they told me that I was going to dance with him obviously, I did my research."
"I should be the first one to see them", Cheryl added, knowing what was going to happen with the photos.
For all those wondering if William would dance with less clothes, Cheryl gave a heads up. "If you keep us into the competition, you'll probably see more and more."
So now you know! Keep watching William Levy in 'Dancing with the Stars' every Monday on ABC.
