Family: Originally from Kayseri on the father’s side. His childhood years were spent in his hometown Kayseri, where he was born and raised, and settled in Istanbul during his secondary school period.
His childhood years: His interest in cinema started when he was a child, but his main childhood dream was to become an athlete. “When we talk about cinema in our childhood, Cüneyt Arkıns, Kadir İnanırs and Yılmaz Güney come to mind. There was a cinema in the city where I was born and it was the first time in my life when I was 11 and I was fascinated. My interest in cinema started in childhood, but nobody came and said, “Do you want to be a filmmaker or an actor?” I had no such dreams. My childhood dream was to be an athlete. Because at that time I was playing basketball and basketball was the reason I came to Istanbul. After coming to Istanbul from Anatolia, I realized that something is more achievable and nothing is impossible. ”
Education life: Graduated from Marmara University Business Administration Department, then studied acting at the Academy Istanbul.
The turning point of his life: He came to Fenerbahçe when he was 18-19 years old to play basketball. He had to take a break from basketball as a result of a bad incident. At that time, people around him were saying ‘be a model or something’. He also tried modeling and went on a few fashion shows, but realized that the podiums were not for him. Then, while thinking about ‘what can I do’, his acting adventure started when he came across an acting school on the internet. “My father’s business was not good and I had to quit basketball. I was interested in acting from childhood, I imitate well. But you came from Kayseri, how will you be an actor! I consulted my family and my father said, “Be welcome.” I wrote acting schools on the internet in a friend’s internet cafe in Beşiktaş. The first link is Akademi Istanbul. Then I realized that I had to pay the school. I walked into a cosmetic store in a place called Altın Han in Sirkeci and said ‘I want a job’. I both sold perfume and worked as a stand model. I started school with the money I earned there. Three months later, I started my first series with Erkan Petekkaya and Zeynep Tokuş.
First step into acting: He started his television adventure in 2003 with the series Kurşun Yarası.
With which project did he shine? He drew attention with the character of ‘Mert’ he played in the Şöhret (Fame) series.
Personality traits: Humble, sincere, loving solitude, disciplined, determined, hardworking. “I have never been afraid of being alone. Because being alone and being alone are different things. I am disciplined, I know that working and giving effort has a great effect on people. If you have it, you will succeed. I am not a person who likes to lie. There have been lies that I told when I was young. Of course, when I saw that the lies I had told had turned into truth, I realized that lying was a critical thing. ”
Social: He prefers to be in Istanbul when there is work, and he prefers to live an isolated life. Lives in Cappadocia. He has a farm in Çanakkale. “I spend time there as much as possible. I go to Istanbul for business. The place where I am happy is like my hometown. I will do my best to make it beautiful. I opened a venue called Dream Spot in Cappadocia. Cappadocia is a place that has been in my life since my childhood and I have very close ties because I am from Kayseri. Doing something in Cappadocia has been my dream for 8-10 years. I feel like a dream every time I go to Cappadocia. I want to live in Çanakkale. I had a TV series in Ayvalık in 2002 and went to the Kaz Mountains for the first time. I was amazed and said ‘I will live here’. I’ve been going back and forth for 12 years. I even bought a small plot of land there. I want to build a house and live there. ”
Mindset: It feeds on solitude. “When a person is alone, he thinks, reads, fills himself. If you have a very crowded life, you will be deprived of yourself. In terms of acting, loneliness feeds me a lot. To dive deep, to read, to be alone with myself and to reflect. I was known for Fame TV series. It is not possible now, but at that time we were getting 27-30 ratings, 50 shares. So open 100 Television in Turkey, 50 was watching. Of course I was faced with the attention of people, and this was a situation where someone in my 20s could get poisoned, and I was poisoned. It took me two years to get through this process, but since I had feelings that I did not know, I could attribute value to myself at that time. You can see yourself privileged from someone else. When I realized that this was not what was at my core by experiencing these, I got better. I do not like arrogance. I only respect people who do their job well. In the past, you wouldn’t be able to say no and there would be environments you were in, you wouldn’t be able to say no, but now I can say. As a person matures, he begins to know himself. Life gets better when you know yourself. If a person finds himself, he becomes beautiful as he gets older. After the age of 30, I have started to mature and step on my feet and I love this state. ”
His source of happiness: He’s happy that his fans see him as one of them, not seeing him as an inaccessible actor. “Frankly, I like this very much. They even write from the USA. I ask myself, “What have I done to win their love?” It’s so easy to catch fame now. There is social media, but what is the reason why foreigners show such interest? They say, “We love that feeling when we look at your face, although we are from a different culture.” It’s nice to have this feeling across. ”
First feature film: Mahsun Kırmızıgül / Güneşi Gördüm
His view of love: “Over the years, the way I define love has changed. There is a feeling that everyone has and they have fallen in love. I think I changed when I thought about how that excitement, my desire to see the woman in my life once again, and my feeling of missing her even after an hour passed. Love was about the longing for the unreunited. At least I think so now. At this age now; I am in a time when I cannot use words like “I’m crazy in love, I love”, but of course I want to fall in love again. I’m on the ladder at 40, but I’m still trying to understand life as if I was 7 years old. ”
His view of life: He sees being a celebrity only as the twist of his job. He thinks he doesn’t have to enjoy it. “The feeling of seeing yourself as privileged from others is against me. Being ordinary makes me happier. At the beginning of my career, I experienced those feelings that made people feel pleasurable and increased their height by 3 centimeters. My way of life changed when I realized that his place was worthless and that the essential thing was the essence of man. I live the life I want. I am the way I am. This also pays off. Acting is a valuable profession as it enables me to be human. I can dive deep into my soul, free from the show part of fame. This is the grace of God. Everything is as it should be. Even the failures and unhappiness I have experienced in my life have given me a lot. A lot has also happened to me from the events that I was very happy and joyful about. So everything is as it should be. ”
His view of business life: He’s good with money, he uses his earnings by investing. “We don’t know when what our profession will bring to us. That’s why I have been dealing with trade in recent years. I started investing in my own way. There was an old hotel while shooting a TV series in Nevşehir. I bought it and now started to restore it. I need to be interested in business so that I have a chance not to accept the scenarios that come before me. ”
Career plan: Although he sees himself more inclined to drama, he also wants to make comedy, especially in cinema. “Turkey,” the player does not like us in the television series that often do not have a television audience of players accustomed to playing comedy drama was seen in the project. If we see that our audience improves one day, maybe we can do comedy in television work, but I don’t think of acting in a comedy series right now. But I want to do comedy in cinema. If it is a good movie, a movie with a well thought-out scenario, I will be happy to play it. ”
Dream of the Future: His biggest dream and the project he wants to realize; Filming. “When we pass away from this world one day, what could we have done about our own business so that we could benefit humanity, we constantly talk among ourselves and look for the answer to this question. My dream is, of course, we love the series, we strive to be successful, but since it is something like writing on water, that is something that no one will remember after 5 years, frankly, my dream is to watch the movie I made before he dies and direct his heart to another place. I have a dream to direct it to the good, right and beautiful. If one day I meet someone with whom I would like to be a family, then of course I would also like to have children. Getting married and having children are good feelings. But I am especially saying this; If I find someone who does not dismiss me, I can consider getting married. There are many places in this world that I haven’t seen yet, and I want to see them. Different cultures, different people. Frankly, I would like to know the lives and hearts of people brought up in different circumstances, to get to know them and to communicate with them, to realize that I am a human in this world and go that way. ”
What can not tolerate? He does not tolerate lack of understanding and ignorance. “Being ignorant annoys me the most in life when there is no understanding and possibility. I stay away from these. What did they say, “I stopped talking to the ignorant.” I do that too.
Hobby: Likes music, plays clarinet, ney and baglama. “Not without my clarinet. I take him wherever I go, it’s like a part of my body, since I’ve played the clarinet for 13 years. I had a start for Ney for a while, but frankly, I am not very involved with Ney. I have been playing baglama for 4 years and I continue to improve myself. ”
Relationship with nature: She loves to be in nature, she escapes to nature whenever she finds the opportunity. “We have a busy profession and naturally we are among many people. I prefer to live more isolated during the rest of my work. I love nature and camping life. ”
