Family: Born in Istanbul. His father is an engineer, a senior manager in an international oil company. Due to his father’s profession, he moved to Scotland first with his family in 2000 and then to the USA in 2002 when he was fifteen and settled in Texas. “We have a very different relationship with my father. Since we changed country every three years, my agenda was always changing, my family remained the only constant. When we moved to a new country, sometimes the only support I could get was my parents. That’s why we established a completely different bond, we became like friends. My dad has always been very precise, even strict, about how I treat women since I was little. Since there are two very precious women in my life, like my mother and my sister, she told them how to behave as a man, as a man. If you can handle this at home, you can handle it outside. We always talked about these with my father, and I’m trying to apply them all. ”
Childhood years: He had a colorful, rich, highly developed childhood. He formed a rock band with his friends during his high school years and gave many concerts in Texas. He moved to Los Angeles after he finished university and started acting. Every year in the summer holidays come to his grandmother in Turkey. “You lose the sense of belonging when you change so many countries, cities, schools, homes and friends. You get confused from time to time. We found Turks in the places we visited, but when you live abroad for so long, you become a “citizen of the world”. My sister and I lived in a total of seven different countries, and my mother was 14. ”
Education life: After finishing high school in Texas, he moved to Boston for university education and studied acting at Emerson College. He also studied acting for two years with Carolyn Pickman and Eric Morris.
First step into acting: He started his television adventure in 2013 with the TV series ‘Waiting for the Sun’.
With which project did it shine? He drew attention with the character of “Yiğit”, which he portrayed in the “Matter Of Respect” series.
The turning point in your life? Scotland (Edinburgh), Indonesia (Medan, Jakarta), United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai), Turkey (Ankara, Istanbul), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), USA (Texas, Boston, Los Angeles) lived in such countries. When it comes to Istanbul for the wedding of her cousin she met with Gaye Sökmen and began acting in Turkey. “My best friend died in a bicycle accident in New York. He was a young man. It’s a ridiculous, very painful death. He was like my brother. I fell into an incredible void. I started questioning everything. At that time, I was crawling in Los Angeles. I was doing several jobs at once. I do personal training, I park a car, on the other hand, I try to enter auditions (casting) and become an actor. Because of this painful event, I decided to change my whole life. Already Turkey was always coming to my mind. They ask my name in America: ‘Kerem. I am a Turk. ” What did you do today Kerem island in Turkey? ‘No answer. Turkey but I’ve never lived in Turkey. And suddenly I decided to move here. I went to the army on the 4th day of my arrival. This offer came while I was thinking about what to do and what to do after the military service was over.
Personality traits: Humble, helpful, hard-working, determined, sympathetic.
Social: He likes to go out but doesn’t like going to clubs. He goes to eat more and likes to be with her close friends. . “I also love my house. At the same time, I think listening to myself and staying with yourself is a very important time period. Everyone needs to devote at least half an hour a day to themselves. I have a notebook and I write free articles there. Usually it is related to world problems. Observing is also very important in our profession, so I observe the details. My teacher used to say; “You can stare at a leaf for half an hour, but if you observe, you can write about it for half an hour.” I try to do it this way. ”
Mindset: Living in various parts of the world gave him the ability to adapt very quickly, regardless of person, place or culture. “You live in Indonesia for three years, then move on to Dubai. You’re in Texas then in Malaysia. You learn to recognize and respect different ideas, people, and beliefs. And most importantly, you know people well. I want not to regret the decisions I made in my 30s. This will be the philosophy of my 30s; “Live without regret!” I feel that I will get younger at this age. You have to live life to the fullest. ”

The look at love: “I think love can never be out of date. Love is the strongest emotion one can feel. That’s why stories about love have been written, songs and poems about love have been written and pictures have been drawn since the first existence of humanity. Love becomes very different when it enters a person’s life. I’d rather be alone for five years rather than having a lot of awkward relationships. Some people have a lot of nonsense relationships because they can’t be alone. The best example of love in my life was that of my grandmother and grandfather. They have a relationship that I have taken as an example since my childhood. For me, love is wanting to share an energy with that person. ”
His view of life: He always favors giving back what the universe has given him. The ‘give back’ philosophy is his life goal. “There is a” getting smaller “philosophy, I believe it. From the outside, maybe yes, everything might look big. Being the ideal man is perhaps not just about me, my achievements. Life isn’t just about me. Helping others is helping someone’s happiness, health, success, maybe what will make me the ideal man. Day by day, I am getting more and more into the psychology of thank and give back. I make more effort for social responsibility projects; I value more naive times and naive relationships I have. I try harder to adapt my lifestyle to him. I go to sports in the same place, spend time in the same places, keep my relationships with my old friends, I am loyal to my rituals. ”
Attitude to business life: If he is satisfied with my job, he feels successful. “But that doesn’t mean I’m still a successful player. I am not a selfish person, but when it comes to acting, I feel selfish. This is another love. I know that I can never be ‘okay’ because as age progresses, the game box and the materials in it change. To be a good player, you have to know yourself very well and know what your weaknesses and fears are. If you are at peace with yourself, you will become a free player. ”
Career plan: Until now, he has always been involved in drama-based TV series and projects. He also wants to take part in a comedy project. “I would love to act in comedy! For example, it can be a romantic comedy that combines action and comedy. Or a situation comedy with a very different script. Why would not?”
Future Dream: “If we talk about today; yes, I am quite happy. Of course I have goals, and I haven’t even been able to get close to most of them, but I love the ladder I’m using right now. I want to improve myself and become a much better player. I am willing, ambitious, hard-working. ”
Concerns: He finds it disturbing to be able to reach or reach everything so easily. “This situation causes us to consume faster, I feel sorry for him. When you go to a concert, you cannot decide whether you take a photo, share it on social media or watch my concert. Why are you at that concert? I think people do this just to be able to share something, to create a perception. This is living for others, not for yourself. We inevitably get lazy. Sometimes I catch myself. When I want to know something, I immediately take the phone out of my pocket. I think all of these make us lose our humanity. Things like Feature A.I (artificial intellegence) and Quantum Computer produced by Google scare me a lot. I don’t want our future to be in the hands of robots. I want to deal with people. ”
How is it with social media? He has no relationship with social media. He tries to stay away from social media. “Of course we have to use it, I understand, but I don’t live my life only on social media. This probably hurts me too, everyone lives on their phones almost 24 hours a day. I am very surprised to see people. They live stuck to their phones. Next to them I feel like an 80 year old grandfather! For example, I go to a concert, a wonderful performance begins, lively, vivacious, in front of us. I look around to see if they feel the same enthusiasm as me, it is unbelievable, 80 percent of the hall watches the concert on the phone in hand. You’re giving up the moment saying ‘I’ll pull it’. Moreover, you don’t live for yourself. You live to show it to others! I think social media has taken over the world. ”
How does he keep his shape? Boxing, doing sports. “While I was boxing, there were times when I passed out in many training sessions and wanted to quit, but no matter what, the psychology of not giving up is important for another and my character. I can say it is the most difficult and enjoyable sport I’ve ever done. Life is not easy, we all know that. But I did sport for one thing and I keep doing it: to say ‘I did it’. It doesn’t matter how many push-ups you do, how many baklava; a sense of achievement is important. That’s why I like to work out early in the morning. When I start the day with a successful attitude, I feel that whatever happens to me that day I can do it anyway.
The criterion of attractiveness in women: He finds attractive women who are self-confident, working, productive and have a goal. “The woman I’m going to be with doesn’t have to be extraordinarily beautiful. I prefer a socially responsible, helpful woman to a woman who wants to live a famous life with fanfare. A teacher can be helpful to people like a nurse, for example. ”
Which movie was he affected by? He was influenced by the movies’ The Notebook ‘and’ Love Story ‘and Kramer Vs. Kramer’. “There is also a completely different love in Kramer Vs. Kramer, ‘played by Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman, narrating father and son. “When I first watched The Notebook, I said, I hope such a love will happen to me, too. A story that turns life into a dream. I think love should make people feel that they are living a dream, how lucky they are. ”
