‘VL 10’ Maite Perroni: De RBD a Lichita en 15 fotos

La actriz de Paper Towns aprovechó para tomarse unas selfies enfrente de la tienda.

Maite Perroni cautivó al público con su personaje de la tierna e inocente Lupita en la telenovela de Televisa Rebelde.

La telenovela creada por Pedro Damián que siguió las vidas de seis jóvenes en una escuela elitista de México duró dos años al aire.

De la telenovela surgió la banda de Pop RBD compuesta por: Anahí, Alfonso Herrera, Perroni, Dulce María, Christopher Uckermann y Christian Chávez.

La agrupación se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial lanzando cinco álbumes y conciertos agotados por toda Europa, Suramerica y Norteamérica.

RBD se desintegró en 2009 y los seis cantantes tomaron su propio camino.

En esa ocasión Perroni puso su carrera como cantante en pausa para dedicarse a la actuación.

La primera telenovela que protagonizó luego de Rebelde fue Cuidado Con el Ángel en la que actuó junto al no menos talentoso William Levy.

Luego le tocaría protagonizar Mi Pecado junto a Eugenio Siller. Para esta producción, cantó el tema central de la telenovela junto a la agrupación Reik. 

Perroni regresó a las pantallas junto a Levy con la telenovela llamada Triunfo del Amor.

Su quinto papel protagónico la la llevó a trabajar junto a Pedro Fernández en la telenovela Cachito del Cielo. 

En 2013, Perroni sorprendió a sus fans al lanzar su primer álbum como solista titulado Eclipse de Luna donde experimentó con diferentes géneros, uno de ellos fue la bachata en el tema “Tú Y Yo”. 

Con un elenco de lujo, la nueva telenovela de Perroni la reunió con actores como Erika Buenfil, Daniel Arenas y Laura Zapata.

Recientemente, la bella actriz prestó su voz para la película animada Un Gallo Con Muchos Huevos que arrasó en las taquillas estadounidenses en su fin de semana de estreno.

Perroni regresó a las pantallas con la nueva telenovela Antes Muerta Que Lichita, una producción estilo sitcom. Perroni interpreta a Lichita, una mujer luchadora y trabajadora que está decidida a ganarse el respeto de sus compañeros de trabajo.

La multifacética artista forma parte de los “10 Latinos to Watch” y evidentemente no le puedes perder la pista pues Perroni está decidida a conquistar el mercado norteamericano a como de lugar.
