-A SINCERE CHAYANNE IN COLOMBIA-

HE ADDRESSES RISQUE THEMES LIKE SURGERIES, VOYEURISM
AND HIS SEX-APPEAL

"I ALSO LIKED TO BE SEDUCED"

It was time for Chayanne to be sincere, and he did it with a Colombian female television host, because he loves Colombian women: “They have a way of talking, a sweetness! They’re very beautiful! If I weren’t married to my current wife, who is from Venezuela, I would have married a Colombian woman and I would be living in Colombia.”

And there are more confidences: “I would love to work in a Colombian telenovela. They’re excellent. In fact, I met with screenwriter Fernando Gaitán and he proposed I star in a telenovela here. I hope it can be done.”

We hope so, Chayanne!

With his 35 years, Elmer Figueroa Arce causes havoc and awakens uncontrollable passions. He’s going through an unsurpassable professional moment. He knows it and he acts accordingly.

Chayanne still can’t get used to compliments, he turns red, although he recalls amid laughter what’s happened to him: “They steal my underwear and have even offered me money for my services.”

INDECENT PROPOSALS

“I don’t know where my sex-appeal lies. I imagine in my entire body but, do you know something? I think the first thing a woman looks at is my face (he smiles.) Seriously, I think they look at me in general, but they look into my eyes a lot.”

He’s been married 10 years to Marilisa, with whom he has two children: Isadora (3 years) and Lorenzo (6.)

“I’ve never been unfaithful to my wife. Although absence occasionally has forced us to re-evaluate things. Of course I’ve received indecent proposals. Once, a woman asked me, how much do I pay you?”

Chayanne posed for our photographer moving skillfully, and, in justice, he enjoys all this paraphernalia that surrounds an artist.

WITH THE BEAUTY

We arranged the date for Chayanne and the presenter from Channel RCN, Claudia Bahamón, could meet. He, a fan of Colombian women, wanted to meet her; and she, of course, felt the same.

The greeting: “You’re a papacito.” The answer: “You’re also a very beautiful woman.” There was a quick connection: jokes, laughter, in fact, some of the media said there was something between them, but no.

CLAUDIA’S QUESTIONNAIRE

CLAUDIA: What sports do you practice?
CHAYANNE: Water skiing; beach volley ball; basketball, tennis.
CLAUDIA: Judging by that body of yours…..
CHAYANNE: Look who’s talking! (He points to her stomach.)
CLAUDIA: Excuse me! This is not from playing sports; it’s genetics, so if gravity arrives…..
CHAYANNE: How wonderful! No exercise! It’s all natural!
CLAUDIA: Well, there is only one thing that is not natural (she points to her chest,) but the rest is. Have you ever felt morbidity?
CHAYANNE: Yes, depending on what you’re listening to, you may feel morbidity. What about you? Do you feel morbid listening to music?
CLAUDIA: I’m voyeuristic……..
CHAYANNE: Since you’re from Colombia, you’re taking advantage of me. You tell me words I don’t understand. What is voyeuristic, a bun? (Laughter.)
CLAUDIA: Nooo! It means curious…..
CHAYANNE: Ah! You’re curious…..
CLAUDIA: What are you passionate about, Chayanne?
CHAYANNE: Everything I do, I do it with passion.
CLAUDIA: What task are you best at?
CHAYANNE: I don’t know where you’re going with this (laughter.) You mean, which is my best show?
CLAUDIA: No, I’m referring to other tasks.
CHAYANNE: Ay, my God! (He sighs.)
CLAUDIA: Could you live without the person you love?
CHAYANNE: No, it would be very painful. Let’s see, do you have any feelings for someone at this moment?
CLAUDIA: Yes, of course.
CHAYANNE: And, would you be able to live without him?
CLAUDIA: Yes. By the way, regarding your album, SINCERO. Your sincerity, how far does it go?
CHAYANNE: Very deeply, in everything. And you, are you sincere?
CLAUDIA: Yes, I’m sincere, when I can and when I want to.
CHAYANNE: You don’t tell little lies?
CLAUDIA: And who doesn’t lie?
CHAYANNE: That’s true.
CLAUDIA: Do you utilize your songs to be sincere?
CHAYANNE: Not always. In the song UN SIGLO SIN TI, I ask for forgiveness. I still haven’t done a mischief so great that I have to ask for forgiveness in that manner.
CLAUDIA: Would you ask for forgiveness with a song?
CHAYANNE: I believe so; and I would do it without a song.
CLAUDIA: How do you believe you seduce someone?
CHAYANNE: With spontaneity, being natural. I also liked to be seduced. They get to me with freshness, with the truth, with pleasantness.
CLAUDIA: What do you feel when you dance, not during your show, but with a woman?
CHAYANNE: Many things.
CLAUDIA: What? (Laughter.)
CHAYANNE: Heat all over my body. (Laughter.)
