Family: She was born in Istanbul, she has a brother. “My brother and I are as similar as twins. We are both physically similar to my father. But my demeanor and character attracted my mother. I am from Istanbul for five generations, but the origin is a bit mixed. My grandmother is from Damascus, Arab. My maternal grandfather is an Albanian immigrant. My grandmother is a Bulgarian immigrant. Pretty complicated. I think I get different features from each side.
Childhood years: As a child, she wanted to be an actress. She also had a great interest in foreign languages. “Therefore, I studied English in high school and chose to study French at university. I’m a winter kid, but I’m totally a summer person. Ever since I was little, I had a great interest in acting and dancing. Thanks to my family, they have always supported me. As long as I can remember myself, my father used to record my every moment with her camera. That’s why I always dreamed of showing my skills in front of the camera. Now I am making my dreams come true. Acting has always been my dream. My family had me signed up for a casting agency when I was very young. My first commercial was shot when I was five years old. My first drama was ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ at the age of twelve. I started to take training in both dance and acting. I studied ballet for four years, then continued with dance and musical acting training for two years.
Education life: Graduated from Marmara University, Department of French Language Teaching. While studying at university, she also studied acting.
The turning point of her life: She sees the TV series “Binbir Gece” as the turning point of her life. “Acting in a television series at a young age was my first step towards my dreams. Such is the case of Birds Without Wings, for example. It came to me at a time of uncertainty in my life. And that’s when I realized that I shouldn’t give up on my dreams.”
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2007 when she was 12 years old with the character of “Buket Evliyaoğlu”, which she portrayed in the TV series “Binbir Gece”.
Which project did it shine with? She attracted attention with the character of “Cemre”, which she portrayed in the TV series “Kanatsız Kuşlar”.
Personality traits: Active, energetic, positive. “I am comfortable with myself, but like everyone else, I have some features that I don’t like. For example, I am a person who overthinks and overthinks everything. In fact, I think so much that sometimes I even start to think about why I think so much. I am mostly active, I have an energetic nature. I like to travel, entertain people and make them laugh. But some days I prefer to be extremely calm. I may seem like a cold person at first sight, but when you get to know me, you will definitely understand my sincerity. I like to be cheerful and entertain people. Even if I was unhappy that day, I wouldn’t show it to my people in order not to let their energy go down. If everyone is happy, I am happy too. That’s why I try to stay away from tense environments.”
Social: In my spare time, she loves to play with her cat, Kül. She also enjoys traveling. “In my spare time, I do my personal care, read books, watch movies and TV series. Some days I don’t do anything, I just sleep. I am someone who enjoys spending time with my family and friends. I love to have fun and travel. Dancing is my greatest joy. There are so many things I want to try, I’m curious about extreme sports. It’s like paragliding, bungee jumping.”
Mindset: She entered the industry at a young age and she thinks she has turned this situation into an advantage. “The biggest thing that has changed since the first years of my career is my maturity and awareness. As I continue to do this profession, I think I gain more awareness of life and people. My communication skills increase, which makes me mature.”
Personal Development: She received and continue to receive many trainings to improve herself in acting. “Every set, even the actors and directors of that set, is my education resource. Also, since I know English and French in the future, I want to study acting abroad and improve myself more.
Source of happiness: She loves to sing, music is a must for her. “People who hear my talk; They say, ‘Your voice is also beautiful, sing along’. But I can’t sing well. I’m even considering training for it. It feels like I can tell if I use my voice right. But if you were to tell us to sing a song right now, I would say plug your ears.”
First feature film: Murat Karamanoğlu / Moya Hitit Yıldızı
Her outlook on life: She thinks that all the people who have touched her life have an impact on her current personality. “Everyone who has entered and touched my life has contributed to the formation of Gizem Güneş. I can say that every good or bad event or relationship I have had so far has made me who I am. But the biggest contribution is my family, who discovered my talents at a very young age, guided me in this direction, always supported me and raised me with love. When it comes to my brother and my family, I can’t see anything else. I am selfless.”
Her view on business life: She sees it as a chance to start acting at a young age with the TV series “Binbir Gece”. “It was a great chance for me to act in a cult TV series in Turkish television history. Working with master actors was a beautiful and unforgettable experience for me as someone who started acting at a young age. I learned a lot from all of them. From discipline on set, to acting, technical knowledge and more. In order to improve myself in acting, I do a lot of observation and research, read and receive training. I started taking acting training at a very young age. Now I am trying to improve myself by reading, observing and working with acting coaches. I try to contribute to myself by taking the people I admire from the movies and TV series I watch as an example. I want to see myself as the actress of every character. I don’t want people to think of only one type when they say Gizem Güneş. I really want them to say ‘actress’.”
Career plan: She has many goals in my career that he aspires to achieve. “But I hope none of them satisfy me. I never want to stop my excitement and dreaming. Because I think these are the elements that make an actress productive. I would love to act in superhero movies. For example; I think the role of ‘Catwoman’ would suit me, it would be very enjoyable to act. I want to taste each character individually and share this taste with people.
Future Dream: The biggest dream of the future; To continue my life as an actressa who does her job properly. “I want to reach my goals step by step and help children and young people develop their talents. I always have a plan B for the future. I was studying English in high school. I wanted to have a second language and I chose this branch because of my interest in French. Besides learning a language, I thought why not teach it to other people in the future, and added teaching to the language as a plus. I love children very much, maybe in the future I can open a school that teaches French. The child in me is never tired or silent, he is talking all the time! I would love to be an artist who has achieved success in acting and dance, made her name known, and opened up to the world. I also want to act in a French-Turkish co-production. I would like to take part in international projects.”
Unforgettable set memory: She can’t forget a moment she lived during the shooting of the TV series ‘Wingless Birds’. “We had to shoot a scene where we fell into the pool. It was spring, but luckily it was very cold on the shooting day. We were dressed in diving suits and we looked so funny. We jumped into the pool and Melis Tüzüngüç and I could not move from freezing, at the same time, we were sinking due to the water entering and the boots on our feet, despite our diving suits.”
Her view of love: “I think love is not knowing any obstacles. It can be love for any person or job. Love is constantly struggling to overcome obstacles, constantly wanting, being passionate. I find Aşık Gizem a little spoiled. Maybe out of happiness, I don’t know what to do, so I’m starting to go crazy.”
What she cannot tolerate: She has no tolerance for disrespect and injustice. “Even if it’s done not just to me, but to someone I don’t know, I get very angry and need to intervene immediately.”
What she laughs most at: She laughs at herself the most. “I make fun of myself when I am unlucky or in distressing situations that happen to me.”
Attractiveness criteria for men: On the other hand, it is mostly affected by intelligence and intelligent eyes. “I also like men who are mature, hardworking and witty.”
How does it keep its shape? She tries to pay attention to her diet. But she does not have a daily diet. Some days she eats whatever she wants, but the next days she balances it with a little more attention. “I try to stay away from bread and sugar. I try to do pilates every other day and if possible, I try to walk to the places I will go. There is no particular diet that I follow. I eat whatever I want. I’m not good with dessert either. I don’t eat late, and I don’t exaggerate my portions.”
Beauty routines: Keeping her skin clean and moisturized is her most important beauty routine. “I think summer and winter sunscreen should be applied to protect the skin, it prevents staining. Since my skin is allergic, I cannot apply masks or care, but using as little make-up as possible and keeping the skin moist is enough for me. In hair care, I avoid over-processing. I regularly care with hair care creams and serums.
Which movie influenced her: She gets very excited when watching fantasy and action movies. “I imagine myself in it. I would love to act a warrior strong woman or a woman with superpowers.”
Who she admires: There are many actors in Turkey that she draws inspiration from. “Who can I say? There are so many valuable artists in our country. There is so much I want to learn from all of them. Sandra Bullock from abroad is among my idols. She is an artist who has acted many characters so far and I think she has been successful in each of them.”
How is she with social media? She actively uses social media. “I love to take pictures. And I love sharing them even more with people. That’s why I’m very active on social media. In a way, I am communicating with my followers. This makes me feel good. I also get good returns from them. In this busy pace, I can spare time for social media like many other things, because I love it. Social media is a necessity. Because people now follow everything on social media. they love it. It used to be so extraordinary to reach an actor. But not so now. I like this situation too. I am a sincere person, it is sincere for them to see my posts. On the other hand, we can create awareness through social media, we can reach people more easily and inform them. I think this is one of the requirements of social media.”
