Family: His mother’s side is Bosniak, his father is a former football player and there are many professional footballers in his family. The only child in the family. “My mom, dad and I trio are actually a bit like friends. They never questioned the decision I made when I wanted to become an actor and they always supported me. Family is an important factor, knowing that you have a family standing behind you really reassures you. We have very egalitarian sharing in the family, it has always been so. I was not one of the children who were close to the mother and kept away from the father, or rather, dealt with their father through the mother. I’m like friends with both. I can explain every problem related to myself to both. For example, we talk together and solve issues related to them. My whole family is in Izmir. Izmir is a city that lives like summer even in winter, so of course I would like to live in Izmir in the future. Even though I miss my family and home, I love Istanbul and my life here too. ”
Childhood years: He started playing football at the age of 11, worked as a goalkeeper for the Altay football team when he was 17-18 years old. He was also a funny kid always imitating. “I was born in 91, it is considered to have grown up with Beyaz Show. Beyaz used to make some characters at that time, like Hüsmen Ağa, Psychopath. I would immediately imitate them. Actually, I would imitate everything. I would go to the movies, come home and recreate the scenes I liked in the movie. Take the Matrix. I would come home and re-shoot those scenes myself. I used to recreate the home scene of every movie I watched. If they asked then, maybe I wouldn’t be able to answer “I’m going to be an actor.” So I turned around but found my place. ”
Education life: He went to high school at Sıdıka Rodop High School. He studied at Anadolu University Open Education Faculty Public Relations Department. He studied acting at Beykent University Faculty of Fine Arts.
The turning point of his life: In 2011, he was chosen as the “Promising Model” in the Best Model of Turkey. She got the title of “Best Model of Turkey” in the 2012 competition. Participating in these competitions changed the course of his life. “When I quit football, I signed up for an agency. I went to fashion shows. After all, opportunities are limited in İzmir because the center of these works is Istanbul. While the fashion shows were going on, a friend of mine was going to apply for the competition. “You too, apply, we will spend time together in Istanbul, I will not be alone,” he said. ‘I said OK. I applied. In fact, I joke with my mother saying ‘I took very nice photos, they will call me directly to the finals’. And there was no coming back to me. The qualifiers have been announced. I said it didn’t happen either. I said maybe I will rejoin next year, I closed the subject. One day I got a call. ‘Mr. Berk, hello where are you now, we are looking for you from Best Model. Why didn’t you come to the talks? ‘Why should I come, I did not come back. It turns out my application form is sticking on the back of another form. He falls aside in the pre-elimination with that form. Without ever opening. Then they do a final check before the semifinals to see if anyone is overlooked and find my form. Indeed, I went straight to the final. The joke I made to my mother came true. ”
First step into acting: He started his television adventure in 2013 with the TV series ‘Her Şey Yolunda Merkez’.
With which project did he shine? He drew attention with the character of “Savaş Mertoğlu” in the “Sunshine Girls” series.
Personality traits: Reasonable, accommodating, smiling, sincere, cheerful, humorous, modest “I am very indecisive about everything in normal life. This is the most important feature of Libra. Normally I do not have much interest in the signs, but every person reads their own sign, and this is always written in mine. I love getting ideas, I like getting the opinions of people who do their own work.
Personal development: Even though he finishes his school, he wants to receive trainings that he will constantly renew himself. “My selection of Best Model does not contribute to my acting. Since I was totally focused on acting, I had to get the basics down. I didn’t want to run without crawling, so I decided to study the school of this business. I’m just at the beginning of the way in acting and it’s something I love very much. I made a rule for myself, every day throughout my life, I want to add something new to my life, regardless of small or big. It can be a knowledge or a skill. I think acting is such a thing, it is a profession that you can never say “It’s over, I am now.”
Mindset: A person who is open to criticism believes that criticism improves people. “It is just as misleading to hear positive comments about yourself. So, of course, I am open to criticism, but it is also important from whom it comes from. The critic should really be a person who is respected in his profession and has proven himself so that what he says has a constructive side for me. I listen to the words and advice of everyone who is a professional, who is doing whatever job he is doing. Because I can not have experience in every field. Everyone has an opinion on everything but they have no knowledge or experience. That’s why there are people in our lives that we can exchange ideas with and share their experiences with us. Since they know better, if we are together, of course I will listen to their suggestions and take them into consideration. I respect. Because his job is to know that subject. “Sunshine Girls
Happiness source: He sees love as the greatest source of food and happiness. “Things such as mutual love, respect, sincerity and tolerance feed me in life. Nothing else matters. The real spirituality is here. ”
His view of love: “Love is actually a concept that affects life completely. Something that totally unbalances or balances life. You say I don’t think about falling in love, after 10 minutes you will fall in love. I’m a little bit quick, but I’m not a swinger. When I fall in love, I really care and fall on it. You do not know what life will bring to you. After all, this is an emotional intensity and you can manage your emotions to a certain extent. Emotions take you away from somewhere. Love is of course a reason for happiness, right love makes one’s life better. But I can live without love in my life. Love is such a thing that you will search for five years, you cannot find it, you will not find it for five days. It has no plan and program. It’s a gift that life brings to you. ”
His view of business life: He is not caught up in the magical world of acting, he only sees it as a profession. No world is magic for me. When I became famous, nothing changed in my life, I am the same again. But more people started to get to know me. Every person has goals and dreams of making their favorite profession. I waited for the right time to follow that dream. I am performing the acting that I love very much right now, by trying to improve myself a little more every day and try to put something on what I learned. What has changed in my life has been to work harder. But I have no complaints about that. You start every project with pleasure, and you hope that the audience will love and accept it. You catch the right energy and the audience pays for it in layers and layers. Actually, it’s not about being popular or not; Doing the subject profession well, being successful. Popularity should be the result, not the goal. My job is acting and its difference from other professions to be on the television screen. My goal is to show the audience a good performance. ”
Career plan: He wants to portray a strong, historical character in a period job. He feels close to comedy, too. “I’ve always liked comedy stuff, it’s important to make someone laugh and bring joy to life. Taking part in a good project in the future would make me happy. Now, there is a hustle and bustle of internet series. We live in the age of technology and the internet, everything is developing and progressing very quickly. Television’s place in our lives cannot be denied, but I believe that internet series will also come. I also care about movies, I can say that I am a good audience. The offers are coming, I evaluate. I also find the motion picture valuable because it is permanent. I wonder what my first motion picture will be. “
Future Dream: He doesn’t make long-term plans. He just sets goals for himself. “Life is so strange that the direction of a person’s life can change in a year or even a month. You make a plan, you work towards your goal in that direction, but there may be much better or bad developments. So it is good to have a goal, but it is necessary to leave a share. So after 10 years, I hope I’m doing this job and I’m in a good point. But let’s say things went bad, and I wouldn’t be confused if I saw it in a completely different industry ten years later. I adapt to the situation and the conditions. My current goal is to do the best and the most beautiful to improve the acting profession, but what will happen is unknown. ”
What can not tolerate? The most dislikes in life are insincerity and lies. “That’s why I always look for sincerity, honesty, love (true love) in relationships. When this respect is gone, my relationships can deteriorate. I really care about honesty. ”
Who does he admire? He loves the foreign actors Michael Douglas and Tom Cruise. “I love Haluk Bilginer from our country. Whatever these people do, I watch and follow. ”
The criterion of attractiveness in women: Regardless of whether a woman or a man, she thinks that sincerity and positive energy are the most important qualities in a person. “The concept of beauty begins with appearance. Later, this appearance turns into character beauty or ugly as you get to know it. And beauty is complemented by character! The cleanliness, sincerity, intelligence of a person’s heart are the aspects that affect me. I think the beauty of the inside hits the outside. ”
How is it with social media? For this reason, a person who likes to keep my life isolated makes his posts carefully while using social media. “I share moments that I find good about myself. The projects we take part in are sold abroad, naturally we have followers from those countries. Social media is not very much in my daily life, actually I don’t share very often. Of course, besides this, I can follow current events on social media since we spend a very long time on the set. I try to follow Twitter or Ekşi Sözlük as much as I can. I look during or after the episode broadcast. Social media channels are extremely effective channels in order to see how the emotion we try to convey while shooting the scenes responds to the audience. ”
Does he follow fashion? His style changes according to his daily mood, but he usually has a relaxed style. “My clothing style changes according to my mood of the day. When I go to the set, I usually make sportive choices, but in my normal life, I wear classics too. ”
What does he do at home? It has a domestic nature. He enjoys spending time at home with his loved ones. “I am Libra but my ascendant is Cancer. I never leave the house, everyone come to me, be defeated, I am in the mind. In addition, order and order are indispensable. I can never live in a messy house, a house that is out of order. For example, my favorite thing is to have my breakfast at home. I mean, I always have food in my house, but if I need it, I also eat outside. But I could have my breakfast at home. Let me turn on my TV and watch. If there is a match, let me watch the match, watch movies, visit documentary channels. Let my friends come, let’s play the play station. I always love these. ”
How does he keep his shape? Since he comes from the discipline of football, he has no trouble keeping in shape. “Exercising, which is everyone’s hobby, is my lifestyle anyway. Exercising is not a burden for me, it is like a part of my life. That’s why I’m not forced. I love playing basketball. I play table tennis. I go to the gym, I do fitness. I love spending time in the gym. Because sports nurtures my self-confidence and fulfills my energy. Apart from that, I pay attention to my diet a little. I’m drinking green tea. ”
The food she could never say no to? Ice cream. “I have a place every two days. I can’t stand I run 15 minutes longer, but I eat. ”
What does it spend money on? Likes to shop according to his needs
