Family: Her real name is Ayşe Begüm Birgören. She married literature teacher Mehmet Cemil in 2020. The couple has no children.
Childhood years: She has been interested in theater since she was 13 years old. Her acting life started with the weekend courses of Müjdat Gezen Art Center. “Like any child, I was a kid who never had enough of playing and was prone to physical activities. I can say that that game spirit was transferred to acting with adolescence. Müjdat Gezen Art Center had weekend classes and it has continued since the day I decided to go there. For many years, there have been children’s games and school theaters. Actually, I went through the standard processes. ”
Education life: After graduating from Bahçeşehir University, Department of Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design, she did her master’s degree in Film and Drama Department at Kadir Has University.
The turning point of her life: She always had theater in mind when she started taking weekend classes at the Art Center. “I will never do television business,” she was saying. “From the first day I attended the course, I wanted to be an actor. But it was theater in my mind. In fact, I used to say, “I will never do television business,” as I was idealistic at that time. I started behind the scenes. I was working as an intern in the background on a TV series starring Özgü Namal. There was an open role, they played me. I didn’t want it much, but when the director asked, it was like an order. After that, offers started to come. When Tomris Giritlioğlu touched my life, I entered the sector. ”
First step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2002 with the “Beşibiryerde” TV series.
With which project did she shine? In 2007, he attracted attention with the character “Elvan”, which he portrayed in the “Karayılan” series.
Personality traits: Modest, friendly, sincere, determined, conscientious.
Mindset: She just wants to stand out with her job. “I did not do things that would be welcomed like a megastar on the street. I had a very self-contained life. I am an inconspicuous person who exists within the character I play and then sits at home with friends. ”
First feature film: Cem Başeskioğlu / Sen Ne Dilersen
Admires: She admires Angelina Jolie.
The look at love: “Love is a big issue I cannot express in a few sentences. In a relationship, I think I am a good friend above all else. It should be an affair that you want to run to her side in any gap or after unobserved time slots. I am a person who can express myself and my feelings correctly and manage to speak in a relationship. I prefer to sing rather than be said in all areas of life. This ensures compromise and smooth progress. At least that’s how it is in my life. “
Her view of life: She believes that in order to do justice to life, we must overcome our fears and push the limits. “If you live in fear, it means you’ve never lived. Oscar Wilde has a very good quote: Living is a rare thing. Most people just exist. ”To do justice to life, we must overcome our fears and push the limits offered to us. At this stage, courage is the basic emotion that gives us the necessary motivation. If you live in fear, you have never lived. Courage is the basic condition for overcoming our fears and reaching the life we want with dignity, but of course, this is not an unreasonable insane courage. Man must know his own limitations and stop where he should be. Pauses are sometimes places where we need to stop and breathe for a better life and prepare ourselves properly for the future. ”
Her view of business life: She thinks her biggest luxury in this life is doing the job she loves and making money from it. “Thank God I’m living my dreams. Television business has a math but I can’t say I can figure it out. We are doing a job, of course I would like everyone to watch. Even though the projects I have been involved in until now have not had a very high view rate from time to time, the people with whom I shared the stage were always actors and people who would lift me up. This was my priority. I have always been involved in long-term projects. But I didn’t think the drama was going to sit that far in the middle of my life. Looking at my 18-year-old idealist Begum, he wouldn’t have liked the way I am now. I would love to have a career focused on cinema and theater. I find it very difficult to follow life and art. This stability does not feed my soul. ”
Career plan: One day, she wants to write her own story and direct it. “As a matter of fact, I would like to have a good story like everyone else, a character I will fall in love with while reading, and of course a director that I will surrender myself with with every cell. I would be upset if there were too many things in this one life that I have not tried out of fear of making mistakes. And I understood the thing called career as making no mistakes because I was. I even had periods full of “no’s” thinking of a good career. I was one of those who scrutinized and scrutinized a lot, but I don’t know, I thought that so much fear and anxiety would not take me to a good place, and I let it flow in recent years. There are so many actors that I would like to play together. Tom Hardy and Matthias Schoenaerts, Julie Delpy, Naomi Watts, Paul Dano had dreams of playing alongside so many players are in Turkey as well as I wish, of course. Haluk Bilginer was one of these names and hooray it happened. I am a little bit like a witch, I have the opportunity to work with the actors I want so much. ”
Dream of the Future: She has many dreams about her job and private life. “I have nothing more than a dream. A new one is added every day. I want to be an actress like the performance of my dreams and be an active person who works until the last moment of my life no matter what. I was distracted by conceptual art and video work in college. Acting aside, I’d like to be someone whose work is exhibited at the biennial, or to see me participate at least once. I have a lot of dreams such as filming, breaking down and rebuilding this world order, traveling the world, a happy and crowded family, being a rally champion, playing with Matthias Schoenaerts in a François Ozon movie. Well, for God I wouldn’t say no to an Emmy either. ”
What are the beauty and care rituals? She is not a beauty-centered person, but she takes care of her appearance as a part of her job. “Unfortunately, I do sports, albeit by force. I also have a heavy schedule. While doing my job, I have to do it in order to shape my spine properly, because I think someone who does this job cannot have the luxury of being clumsy and not looking at his body. Since the makeup on my face stays for many hours as a part of my job, a good moisturizer and washing gels are indispensable. I prefer pharmacy products. I think the most important thing that makes a woman beautiful is nothing that makes you more beautiful than being truly happy, in love or passionate. Your skin, your eyes, everything changes. ”
Concerns: “The detrimental effects of the human race on itself and on nature make me very sad. There is a lot of trouble, from the small moments that people are tested while trying to exist in life, to the tragedies in which we kill each other and children. Right next to us, there are tragedies in which thousands of women and children are murdered and the whole world remains a spectator. There is a war in our country. I do not know if it is possible to live without any problems in the Middle East. ”
Relationship with nature: She loves to be in nature, she leaves herself to nature whenever she gets the opportunity. “In my spare time, I choose routes at home and abroad and go on long trips. This is really good for me. Apart from that, of course, the world of cinema, theater and literature are the areas that make me the happiest… Being in nature is of course. You know when Cemal Süreya says, “Death comes to my mind suddenly, I am hugging the trunk of a tree”. That is so important to be in nature. ”
What does she do at home? In her spare time, she likes to watch movies and TV series that she has accumulated season by season. “I have to work on my own, like home therapy, which is good for me and I have a lot of fun. A lot of work such as painting glass, making T-shirts, dealing with the soil and flowers in the garden. I love when my friends come to me for dinner. I also love making cookies, cakes and appetizers. ”
Does she follow fashion? She does not add new items to her wardrobe every year like crazy. “I usually shop with trousers cut, hemline or whatever the dominant color and mood preferences. It has to be either its color, its model, or a joke of integrity. I’m not a jeans-T-shirt person. I can’t fit like razor blades, it’s never too bohemian, but my clothes should be flighty and a little feminine. ”
What’s the craziest thing she’s ever done? Change the color of her hair. “I made my hair copper color for a while. It was terrible. I tried to get used to it, but if it was not necessary for a movie and a TV series, I tried a color close to yellow to see why I am in this state and unfortunately nothing happened to me other than the natural color. I would never scratch it on my own will. ”
