Assumed singer Chayanne was dead? Us too! Turns out he’s just undead and playing a vampire for 10 episodes on “Gabriel” - a “romantic” miniseries created by Mega TV and Megafilms that’ll make its U.S. premiere this September. His character, inspired by Interview with the Vampire, will be 300 years old! And Chayanne will have you know he’s taking his new role seriously - hilariously seriously:

“I never thought of sucking blood, always going for the neck. The part of the neck - I knew how to enter it, but I didn’t know how to enter it with fangs and it hasn’t been easy.”

Wow. You, Chayanne, are insane.

And we adore you for it.

Watch Chayanne emoting all over the place, after the jump:

Slow clap. That was beautiful. We haven’t been so excited for a Chayanne performance since Dance With Me.
