That same year, he starred in the film 'Linda Sara' with former Miss Universe, Dayanara Torres.
In 2008, Chayanne took on a unique role as a vampire in the television series 'Gabriel: Amor Inmortal.' To immerse himself fully into the character and its nocturnal lifestyle, he reportedly adopted a different daily schedule, sleeping during the day and working at night.
