Family: She was born and raised in Ankara. Hülya Gülşen Irmak, whose mother is an experienced actress. She states that she learned about set morals when she was a child when she went to the set with her mother. “My mother’s car clock, wrist watch, phone clock were always 7-8 minutes ahead, and she lived according to those hours, she was never late for anything. I feel the advantages of growing up by seeing these in the business life I live today. Although my mother never directed me to ‘do this’, she always whispered in my ear what should not be done. Being an actress is definitely an advantage for me, I have a teacher at home, what else?”
Childhood years: Acting was her dream since childhood due to her mother. “I would have waited backstage if they would put me on the stage, give me a round of applause that this girl watched the play 60 times. Of course they wouldn’t, I would cry. When they asked why are you crying, I said “I want to be there, not here”. I don’t think I can do any other job. It’s as if my desire to act goes back even before my memory’s past. It must be because of being the child of an actress mother. If you say when you really took action; My television adventure started with school acts first, and when I was 8 years old, with the TV series “Bizim Evin Halleri”. Later, while I was in high school, I also took part in theater acts at school. When I was a little girl, I would rather go to the theater with my mother than to a concert with my father. Nothing much has changed since then.”
Education life: Graduated from Pera Fine Arts High School. She studied at Haliç University Theater Department.
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2002, when she was 8 years old, with the TV series “Bizim Evin Halleri”.
What project did she shine with? She attracted attention with the character of “Kader”, which she acted in the TV series “Kırgın Çiçek”.
Personal development: She takes a lot of training to improve her acting. “Besides my conservatory education, I went to Meisner technique workshop, acting in front of the camera (which really requires a different style and dynamics than acting on stage). I will continue to go as I catch good workshops, because acting is something that evolves with the times.”
Personality traits: Has a social, extrovert personality. “I can say that I am a simple person who can get bored if she does not spend time at home as much as she socializes and has fun, and admires production and talent. Things that I say ‘never give up’ in my life; My dog, Monsieur, my family and time alone.”
Social: In her spare time from the set, she does sports, draws, and spares time for herself and her family.
Mentality: She thinks that being famous by taking part in TV series with a large audience at a young age does not make a big difference in her life. “Apart from the happiness of being loved and appreciated, and a little responsibility, my life continues as it is. Apart from the sweet responsibility of setting an example, there is nothing that compels me.”
View of love: The most important factor in a relationship; fit I think. “It’s like the parts of a wheel fit together. The parts are clamped and the machine runs smoothly. Sacrifice is also important. Not only love, but all human relationships are strengthened by the sacrifices made, the choices you make, the things that are given up and gained. I think love is ‘the ability to be patient,’ says Lilly, my character in the act Westend. I think so too.
Source of happiness: One of the biggest sources of happiness is that her mother is also an actress. “The advantage of my mother being an actress is more than the disadvantage. Most importantly, you have a teacher at home. You can consult her wherever you have difficulty. I knew the set morality since I was born because I would either go to the set with my mom or go to a concert with my dad. While preparing for the conservatory exam, it was also the first year of Kirgın Çiçek. I am 17 years old and preparing for the exam. For the first time in my life, I’m acting in a TV series and it’s becoming a phenomenon. I was working at a pace I had never worked at. At that time, my mother forced me to come out and work for the character I would act in my conservatory exam, even at night. That’s how I passed the exam. I used to cry while applauding my mother on the stage. I would tell those who asked why I was crying that I wanted to be there.”
First feature film: Murat Şeker/ Çakallarla Dans 5
Her outlook on life: She learned to ‘stop’ most in life during the pandemic and quarantine period. “Learning to stop is the biggest contribution of this period to me. It was a period that opened up my perceptions when I realized how little we have control and authority, that we can’t sometimes prevent things when things happen, and how easily we adapt when we can’t. It was a time when I developed my self-discipline and even though it didn’t seem like it when I was alive, when I look at it now, I saw a lot of benefit.”
Her outlook on business: “I want every new character I act to surprise me. Before accepting a role, I pay attention to the script, especially if it is a act, how much information and opportunity it gives me about the character, the mission the character undertakes in narrating the text, and its transformation, if any. In television, on top of all this, we need to add a little foresight.”
What is she like on set? She cares a lot about making friends on set. “Since it is an undeniable fact that what is reflected on the screen is sincerity, I attach importance to establishing friendships with the team I will be working with before going on the set.”
Career plan: Apart from acting, she also loves to sing. Apart from that, she loves to dance and make desserts. “It would be great if I could turn them into a profession in the future. I want to act in an independent feature film. However, I think the ultimate goal of the profession is to act in theatre. Theater is primarily an endless playground for me. I used to love playing board games or word games anyway. Theater is like playing a game for me. Once I saw my mother’s excitement. I witnessed her excitement that day before the premiere and her happiness after her release. That’s why these high feelings affected me a lot when I was a kid. Theater is a very passionate thing. I even think that the ultimate purpose of the profession is to act in theatre. You get the same satisfaction when you act in a very good motion picture or work that has depth, but I think theater is the biggest source of satisfaction.”
Who does she admire? A big fan of Cate Blanchett. “I also love Jessica Lange. Returning to our country, I greatly appreciate Bergüzar Korel’s outlook on life and her existence as long as she heals others.”
Her least favorite feature: Being lazy. “I can be lazy at times, though she relapses when I work too hard, she.”
Her favorite feature: “I can say that I don’t have fun without doing the work I need to do.”
How does it keep its shape? She exercises and eats healthy. “Exercise is the best habit I have acquired. When the day comes, I wake up at 9.00 in the morning and do sports at 7 am, I take care to do sports 4 days a week and to eat healthy in general. Of course, the free days we call ‘cheat days’ are also my greatest joy.”
