[Translated by Engin Akyurek Universal Fans Club]
Engin Akyurek who plays Omer in “Dirty Money Love” series has many fans who are mostly women. Contrary to many actors these days, he doesn’t have a modeling past. He climbs the stairs slowly but determinedly. Akyurek who doesn’t have “I am a star” attitude is from Ankara and says “I came to Istanbul by following my dreams.”
Engin Akyurek didn’t suddenly become famous or a leading actor. He isn’t a model-turned-into actor like other leading actors in the sector. He has climbed to the top slowly and carefully during his carrier and his character reflects his situation. He is very cautious while talking to people and slowly advances during the conversation. Just when you think that he is going to bare his heart and lower his guard, he throws you a curve. He bares his heart but just as much as he wants. He lowers his guard but quickly pulls himself together. He is sincere but he is never reckless. He keeps his distance and he does the right thing. When we start talking about handsomeness, charisma, and admiration of women, he starts feeling embarrassed. Shyness of this man, who makes many women sigh, is apparently related to his past. As we talked, I learned that before he became famous he wasn’t a type that girls liked; on the contrary, he was crossed with mirrors because of his acnes during his adolescent years. Naturally, I’ve begun to think that he was handsome long after his adolescent years! When I said “Oh my, he is a handsome guy”, he was playing Kerim in “What’s Fatmagul’s fault?” series. He hit the spot with his romantic manners and beautiful stares for many women like me who were tired of old leading actors. He was so different than “Foreign Groom’s” ‘sheepish’ Kadir who hunched because he was tall. Apparently, I discovered him very late. Many people started admiring his acting after watching him in “I wish I were a cloud” TV series and anticipated these days. Shame on me! Anyways… I began to get ready for the interview with an image of Engin Akyurek that I had on my mind. I was slightly shocked when I realized that he played Cevat in Zeki Demirkubuz's movie named ‘Kader’. Yes, he was in that movie indeed. I said “My!” again… The man clawed his way to this point. Finally, it was the interview day. We would meet at Haydarpasa Train Station where ‘Dirty Money Love’ series was being filmed. Since I felt like I overcrowded the set or didn’t know what to do, I sat on the stool that they showed me. When the set took a break five minutes later, EnginAkyurek came and set on the stool next to me and started drinking his tea. We chatted about our interview for a while without knowing what to do. He is definitely not a person who behaves capriciously, makes things difficult for you, or “I am the star around here” kind of man. He answers all questions positively and says “Sure, of course.”
For example:
- Engin Bey, can we take your picture on the railway?
- Of course
- When the shooting is over, let’s get to work before the sun sets.
- Of course.
After always-agreeable introduction phase full of ‘of course’ words, we waited for the shooting to end. Dirty Money Love team was so hospitable that we didn’t understand how the time passed. Now and then, my photographer friend Cem Ucak looked at me with weepy eyes saying “The sun will set, the light will go away” but none of his fears came true. The luck was on our side. We did the photo shoot during the most beautiful hours of the day, first at Haydarpasa Train Station and then at 360 located at the terrace of Double Tree Hotel. The resulting pictures made us very happy. Before starting the interview, let’s give a brief biography of Engin Akyurek. He is 33 years old. He was born in Ankara. He graduated from Ankara University where he majored in Languages and History. He was interested in theater during his college years and played in many theater plays. He gained recognition during Turkey’s Stars TV competition in 2014. First, he appeared in Foreign Groom TV series and then in a movie named “Kader.” For his portrayal of Cevat in this film, he received the “Most Promising Actor” award for both the 39. Turkish Cinema Awards and for CASOD (Cagdas Sinema Oyuncuları Dernegi) Awards in 2006. “I wish I were a cloud” and “What is Fatmagul’s fault?” TV series are the turning points of his career. For the last two seasons, he plays “Omer” in “Dirty Money Love”.
- You studied history but then you became an actor. If there is a project about Turkish history, which period of Turkish history would you like to be involved?
- Good question. I guess we don’t have any period of our history that wasn’t filmed. Personally, I always wondered and interested in Istanbul before it transformed because of migration. I would love to see and know about the culture created by real Istanbulites and pristine Istanbul before it became overpopulated. Our cinema wasn’t able to relay its condition before migration. The period which Istanbul slowly began to degenerate as a result of migration creates a cinematographic feeling on my mind. We had many interesting and valuable events in our near history; but, I really wonder how this feels. We need to see Istanbul after the establishment of Republic, picturesquely.
- If your life was filmed, would it be sitcom, drama, or action?
- I guess it would be both comedy and action. It would be an interpenetrated story. I think I am very lucky because I didn’t have big traumas or dramatic events in my life. It would be a film without a trauma.
- You are from Ankara. I wonder your initial arrival to Istanbul.
– I was born and raised in Ankara. I came to Istanbul by train when I was 22 years old. Air travel was not very frequent during those days. And Istanbul-Ankara train makes you feel very nostalgic. It was a very cold day and snowy. The year was 2003. I came to Istanbul to join the initial eliminations of the competition that I won later on. So to speak, I grabbed my luggage, got on the train, and got off the train at Haydarpasa Train Station. I had my uncle here. Then it all started.
- That young man got off the train and the huge city of Istanbul was right before his eyes… He would join the competition. But, was he able to imagine these days?
- I didn’t anticipate this much. That competition was the first competition about acting. Since I didn’t see any example before, I couldn’t imagine this. Of course, everybody has dreams. I came to Istanbul from Ankara and I had dreams, too. I wanted to do good things. There weren’t many TV series filmed. There wasn’t any example of such a competition. I couldn’t anticipate these days. I wanted to be an actor and I was very excited about it. I felt that I was going to do something good.
- How does a person from Ankara perceive Istanbul initially?
- Anywhere out of Istanbul is rural. Istanbul makes you feel like it is very complex and big. You can’t easily comprehend it or keep up with its pace and it is very scary. I wanted to be an actor. Istanbul is very beautiful and special city because it doesn’t let newcomers go and it didn’t let me go either.
- Is that why you prefer to live on the Anatolian side?
- I lived on the European side for years. After moving to Anatolian side, I thought why I had been so unfair to myself for all those years. I got mad at myself. Anatolian side is very quiet and settled. And it is very natural thing for a person from Ankara to prefer Anatolian side.
- Maybe that’s why you’ve never been caught drunk while getting on a taxi… I don’t remember such a thing.
- I don’t remember, either. I don’t know whether I did this to protect myself; but, I can say that I did this for my comfort. I shaped my life like this to be able to live more comfortably and to be able to breathe.
- Let’s talk about your family…
- My mother is a housewife. My father, like 80% of Ankara population, is a government official. During my childhood, my friends’ fathers were government officials as well. And our life was like that: It wasn’t a problem if my friend’s father was a government official. I could be friend with him/her; because my parents would think that my friend would have specific cultural background and education if his/her father was a government official. I have a brother. He is doing his military service right now. We just sent him off for his military service. He is in Kastamonu and he will go to Batman. He is a banker. My parents still live in the same place. Our life there continues as it was before. After I moved out and started acting, our life didn’t change much. People whom my mother didn’t see for years feel the need of calling her after watching the series. I’ve never drifted away from my family. I visit them during bayrams and at every chance I get.
- It seems that this government official mentality was reflected on you as well… You climbed the career stairs determinedly…
- Certainly; I was raised with this mentality.
- For which qualities of yours do you thank your parents?
- It is a very difficult question. I resemble my mother physically.
- Were you a popular young man of your neighborhood or school?
- Girls in the neighborhood didn’t sigh “Oh my god, Engin!” when I passed them by. Puberty is very problematic for boys. If someone says that everybody admired him during his puberty, I would like to talk about him about what his secret was. One is not very attractive with his face full of acnes during that period. I began to get attention during my college years when my personality shaped up more and when I started playing in theaters. When everything fell into place, I had already moved to Istanbul. That is, my middle school and high school years were very ordinary.
- Does an actor understand another actor’s situation better than other people?
- Absolutely. It is like this in the set as well. Only another actor can understand your mood at that moment because we are actually very lonely in the set. Everyone has things to think about or handle. Since an actor relates to his character, he always about thinks about sentences and words. That’s why you feel very lonely.
- How does it feel like to get ready for a role?
- Someone imagines a character and you try to give that character a life. Getting to know a person in real life needs time and it is the same for getting to know a character. There may be situations which you couldn’t get to know the character or which you interpreted him wrong. Sometimes, one cannot be objective to oneself and may not want to see his weak sides. But, if your character is like that, then you bring him out from your soul and you face your own weaknesses. A character needs your feelings and details from your life. But that character is not you. Therefore, you need to have a sincere and truthful relationship with the character. If you want to try to fool or manage him, it responds you with a bad acting.
- It must be difficult for a person to protect himself from his acting!
- Absolutely. There is Engin as well. You should be able to balance out Engin and the character.
- Is every role a test?
- No. However, every role is a chance to know someone. When I accept a character, I get excited because I will meet a new person. The thing we call test is to know someone, to begin a journey with him, and to have the feelings you never had in your life before. Acting is a very interesting job. It gives you a chance to know and be interested in the things you’ve never been interested in before. For example, being a police officer. I learned about it in Dirty Money Love.
- What did Zeki Demirkubuz teach you?
- When I worked with Zeki Abi, I was very young. An actor should work with directors that will push him at the turning points of his career. And I had this chance with Zeki Abi. We worked together very brief period but he helped me to understand how acting in cinema was.
- You define “I wish I were a cloud” series as your turning point of your career. In “What is Fatmagul’s fault” you grew your hair and did we then realize that you were a leading actor?
- Mustafa Bulut was an anti-hero. You may not want to see that character as a leading actor. But, my role in Fatmagul was a leading role.
- Well, we can’t ignore the effect of your hair…
- Probably. (He laughs)
- You stare beautifully. Did you work on to stare like that? Or is it a a natural-born characteristic?
- This is in my nature. I don’t think about how to look or laugh at that moment. I am more interested in feelings. I don’t especially look for that moment.
- Do you think that you fulfill the romantic-man demand in TV Series sector?
- It depends on the character that I play. I don’t know whether I am instinctively preferred for these kind of roles. The projects that people knew me and that I had connection with viewers are like that (means romantic and emotional). I don’t categorize myself. I can crush the romantic-man image by playing something else one day. And this perception is mostly based on the characters rather than Engin.
- There are many women who sigh when they hear Engin Akyurek name. Do you like it?
- Of course, I like it. It is a very good feeling to be liked. I am very happy to be loved because of what I do. And they (his fans) are very consistent and beautiful people. Since I don’t use social media much, I follow them through my agent. Their support makes me very happy. Since I am not a singer or politician, I can’t be in their life as a person. But, I am a part of their life with the characters I play.
- What will viewers see during the second season of Dirty Money Love?
- Viewers know the truth now. This will bring some tension. I don’t know where the story goes but when I thought about the characters and what they are going to live through, I can tell you that there will be very exciting days. And there will be love in this season as well.
- Season trailers of Dirty Money Love were already broadcasted. While Omer gets arrested by his brother, he prepares a surprise for Elif. What will happen?
- Omer will be torn between Elif and his brother. His brother is on one side and his beloved is on the other side. The woman he loved is a criminal and his brother is a murderer. This season will be about how Omer will find out and solve this.
- In the series, it seems that people around Omer get themselves into trouble and that Omer is the only person staying out of trouble. Will this continue like this way?
- Actually, Omer is the most innocent character of this story. So does Elif. We tell the story of two innocent people coming together.
- How will Elif’s dirty money laundering affect Omer? And there is a marriage proposal as well…
- Omer already tells a message with his mentality of justice and his stance: “Love or your values?" These will keep Omer very busy this season. Most of us can guess how a modern person reacts in such a situation. Omer is a person who could tell things outside of accepted norms and he will.
- How was your summer?
- I spent my summer by diving in Kas. I’ve become interested in diving for the last couple of years and I enjoy it a lot. I want to try diving abroad. For me, diving is a feeling of freedom. Some people love to see fish, and some people love deep diving. I like the feeling of blue and being in the water. It is an area where you can’t speak and you are all by yourself. You don’t think anything, it is like a meditation. I also spent some time in Ankara.
- Who does criticize you the most?
- People I love.
- Whose advice do you listen to the most?
- I listen to advice of the people I love. I am not very stubborn and don’t insist that I am always right. I have a sense of justice for the right thing. Because of our profession, I need to have my own truths and I need to insist on those truths. But, I have to express them with the right energy. I am not an aggressive person.
- Who is your best friend?
- I have many. I see my friends in Ankara. I have a very nice group of friends.
- Are you organized?
- Sometimes, I am. But, sometimes, I am very messy. I get messy at home, but I clean it up. My books and movies at home are very organized. But, my bag is very messy. I can’t find anything in it. I guess it depends on my mood.
- What do you get mad at in your relationships?
- I can’t stand insincerity. If you are not sincere, you bring many negative feelings with you.
- Do you think that you know people better as you learned your job and as you get older?
- The more you get to know yourself, the better you understand people and you begin to feel empathy for them. Your carelessness and inattentiveness during your 20s are because you don’t know much about yourself. Since you are messed up, you don’t want to know about what other people think or feel.
- Your profession is egocentric. Do you compete with yourself or with others?
- I don’t feel like I am in a competition. We are here to live our lives. I am just doing my job. I don’t have such worries.
- What kind of advantages has a man in his early 30s?
- You feel surprised because some things are changing. I am not talking about what you see in the mirror; something inside of you changes. You make firm decisions. Your preferences and friends in your life, your perspective, and the rhythm of your life start falling into place. I think it is going to be very different in my 40s. I will be more like ‘a man’ then. I will be at a very pleasant point in my life. I will start enjoying my life in my 40.

We tell the story of two innocent people coming together. - How will Elif’s dirty money laundering affect Omer? And there is a marriage proposal as well… - Omer already tells a message with his mentality of justice and his stance: “Love or your values?" These will keep Omer very busy this season. Most of us can guess how a modern person reacts in such a situation. Omer is a person who could tell things outside of accepted norms and he will. - How was your summer? - I spent my summer by diving in Kas. I’ve become interested in diving for the last couple of years and I enjoy it a lot. I want to try diving abroad. For me, diving is a feeling of freedom. Some people love to see fish, and some people love deep diving. I like the feeling of blue and being in the water. It is an area where you can’t speak and you are all by yourself. You don’t think anything, it is like a meditation. I also spent some time in Ankara. - Who does criticize you the most? - People I love. - Whose advice do you listen to the most? - I listen to advice of the people I love. I am not very stubborn and don’t insist that I am always right. I have a sense of justice for the right thing. Because of our profession, I need to have my own truths and I need to insist on those truths. But, I have to express them with the right energy. I am not an aggressive person. - Who is your best friend? - I have many. I see my friends in Ankara. I have a very nice group of friends. - Are you organized? - Sometimes, I am. But, sometimes, I am very messy. I get messy at home, but I clean it up. My books and movies at home are very organized. But, my bag is very messy. I can’t find anything in it. I guess it depends on my mood. - What do you get mad at in your relationships? - I can’t stand insincerity. If you are not sincere, you bring many negative feelings with you. - Do you think that you know people better as you learned your job and as you get older? - The more you get to know yourself, the better you understand people and you begin to feel empathy for them. Your carelessness and inattentiveness during your 20s are because you don’t know much about yourself. Since you are messed up, you don’t want to know about what other people think or feel. - Your profession is egocentric. Do you compete with yourself or with others? - I don’t feel like I am in a competition. We are here to live our lives. I am just doing my job. I don’t have such worries. - What kind of advantages has a man in his early 30s? - You feel surprised because some things are changing. I am not talking about what you see in the mirror; something inside of you changes. You make firm decisions. Your preferences and friends in your life, your perspective, and the rhythm of your life start falling into place. I think it is going to be very different in my 40s. I will be more like ‘a man’ then. I will be at a very pleasant point in my life. I will start enjoying my life in my 40.

[Translated by Engin Akyurek Universal Fans Club]
Engin Akyurek who plays Omer in “Dirty Money Love” series has many fans who are mostly women. Contrary to many actors these days, he doesn’t have a modeling past. He climbs the stairs slowly but determinedly. Akyurek who doesn’t have “I am a star” attitude is from Ankara and says “I came to Istanbul by following my dreams.”
Engin Akyurek didn’t suddenly become famous or a leading actor. He isn’t a model-turned-into actor like other leading actors in the sector. He has climbed to the top slowly and carefully during his carrier and his character reflects his situation. He is very cautious while talking to people and slowly advances during the conversation. Just when you think that he is going to bare his heart and lower his guard, he throws you a curve. He bares his heart but just as much as he wants. He lowers his guard but quickly pulls himself together. He is sincere but he is never reckless. He keeps his distance and he does the right thing. When we start talking about handsomeness, charisma, and admiration of women, he starts feeling embarrassed. Shyness of this man, who makes many women sigh, is apparently related to his past. As we talked, I learned that before he became famous he wasn’t a type that girls liked; on the contrary, he was crossed with mirrors because of his acnes during his adolescent years. Naturally, I’ve begun to think that he was handsome long after his adolescent years! When I said “Oh my, he is a handsome guy”, he was playing Kerim in “What’s Fatmagul’s fault?” series. He hit the spot with his romantic manners and beautiful stares for many women like me who were tired of old leading actors. He was so different than “Foreign Groom’s” ‘sheepish’ Kadir who hunched because he was tall. Apparently, I discovered him very late. Many people started admiring his acting after watching him in “I wish I were a cloud” TV series and anticipated these days. Shame on me! Anyways… I began to get ready for the interview with an image of Engin Akyurek that I had on my mind. I was slightly shocked when I realized that he played Cevat in Zeki Demirkubuz's movie named ‘Kader’. Yes, he was in that movie indeed. I said “My!” again… The man clawed his way to this point. Finally, it was the interview day. We would meet at Haydarpasa Train Station where ‘Dirty Money Love’ series was being filmed. Since I felt like I overcrowded the set or didn’t know what to do, I sat on the stool that they showed me. When the set took a break five minutes later, EnginAkyurek came and set on the stool next to me and started drinking his tea. We chatted about our interview for a while without knowing what to do. He is definitely not a person who behaves capriciously, makes things difficult for you, or “I am the star around here” kind of man. He answers all questions positively and says “Sure, of course.”
For example:
- Engin Bey, can we take your picture on the railway?
- Of course
- When the shooting is over, let’s get to work before the sun sets.
- Of course.
After always-agreeable introduction phase full of ‘of course’ words, we waited for the shooting to end. Dirty Money Love team was so hospitable that we didn’t understand how the time passed. Now and then, my photographer friend Cem Ucak looked at me with weepy eyes saying “The sun will set, the light will go away” but none of his fears came true. The luck was on our side. We did the photo shoot during the most beautiful hours of the day, first at Haydarpasa Train Station and then at 360 located at the terrace of Double Tree Hotel. The resulting pictures made us very happy. Before starting the interview, let’s give a brief biography of Engin Akyurek. He is 33 years old. He was born in Ankara. He graduated from Ankara University where he majored in Languages and History. He was interested in theater during his college years and played in many theater plays. He gained recognition during Turkey’s Stars TV competition in 2014. First, he appeared in Foreign Groom TV series and then in a movie named “Kader.” For his portrayal of Cevat in this film, he received the “Most Promising Actor” award for both the 39. Turkish Cinema Awards and for CASOD (Cagdas Sinema Oyuncuları Dernegi) Awards in 2006. “I wish I were a cloud” and “What is Fatmagul’s fault?” TV series are the turning points of his career. For the last two seasons, he plays “Omer” in “Dirty Money Love”.
- You studied history but then you became an actor. If there is a project about Turkish history, which period of Turkish history would you like to be involved?
- Good question. I guess we don’t have any period of our history that wasn’t filmed. Personally, I always wondered and interested in Istanbul before it transformed because of migration. I would love to see and know about the culture created by real Istanbulites and pristine Istanbul before it became overpopulated. Our cinema wasn’t able to relay its condition before migration. The period which Istanbul slowly began to degenerate as a result of migration creates a cinematographic feeling on my mind. We had many interesting and valuable events in our near history; but, I really wonder how this feels. We need to see Istanbul after the establishment of Republic, picturesquely.
- If your life was filmed, would it be sitcom, drama, or action?
- I guess it would be both comedy and action. It would be an interpenetrated story. I think I am very lucky because I didn’t have big traumas or dramatic events in my life. It would be a film without a trauma.
- You are from Ankara. I wonder your initial arrival to Istanbul.
– I was born and raised in Ankara. I came to Istanbul by train when I was 22 years old. Air travel was not very frequent during those days. And Istanbul-Ankara train makes you feel very nostalgic. It was a very cold day and snowy. The year was 2003. I came to Istanbul to join the initial eliminations of the competition that I won later on. So to speak, I grabbed my luggage, got on the train, and got off the train at Haydarpasa Train Station. I had my uncle here. Then it all started.
- That young man got off the train and the huge city of Istanbul was right before his eyes… He would join the competition. But, was he able to imagine these days?
- I didn’t anticipate this much. That competition was the first competition about acting. Since I didn’t see any example before, I couldn’t imagine this. Of course, everybody has dreams. I came to Istanbul from Ankara and I had dreams, too. I wanted to do good things. There weren’t many TV series filmed. There wasn’t any example of such a competition. I couldn’t anticipate these days. I wanted to be an actor and I was very excited about it. I felt that I was going to do something good.
- How does a person from Ankara perceive Istanbul initially?
- Anywhere out of Istanbul is rural. Istanbul makes you feel like it is very complex and big. You can’t easily comprehend it or keep up with its pace and it is very scary. I wanted to be an actor. Istanbul is very beautiful and special city because it doesn’t let newcomers go and it didn’t let me go either.
- Is that why you prefer to live on the Anatolian side?
- I lived on the European side for years. After moving to Anatolian side, I thought why I had been so unfair to myself for all those years. I got mad at myself. Anatolian side is very quiet and settled. And it is very natural thing for a person from Ankara to prefer Anatolian side.
- Maybe that’s why you’ve never been caught drunk while getting on a taxi… I don’t remember such a thing.
- I don’t remember, either. I don’t know whether I did this to protect myself; but, I can say that I did this for my comfort. I shaped my life like this to be able to live more comfortably and to be able to breathe.
- Let’s talk about your family…
- My mother is a housewife. My father, like 80% of Ankara population, is a government official. During my childhood, my friends’ fathers were government officials as well. And our life was like that: It wasn’t a problem if my friend’s father was a government official. I could be friend with him/her; because my parents would think that my friend would have specific cultural background and education if his/her father was a government official. I have a brother. He is doing his military service right now. We just sent him off for his military service. He is in Kastamonu and he will go to Batman. He is a banker. My parents still live in the same place. Our life there continues as it was before. After I moved out and started acting, our life didn’t change much. People whom my mother didn’t see for years feel the need of calling her after watching the series. I’ve never drifted away from my family. I visit them during bayrams and at every chance I get.
- It seems that this government official mentality was reflected on you as well… You climbed the career stairs determinedly…
- Certainly; I was raised with this mentality.
- For which qualities of yours do you thank your parents?
- It is a very difficult question. I resemble my mother physically.
- Were you a popular young man of your neighborhood or school?
- Girls in the neighborhood didn’t sigh “Oh my god, Engin!” when I passed them by. Puberty is very problematic for boys. If someone says that everybody admired him during his puberty, I would like to talk about him about what his secret was. One is not very attractive with his face full of acnes during that period. I began to get attention during my college years when my personality shaped up more and when I started playing in theaters. When everything fell into place, I had already moved to Istanbul. That is, my middle school and high school years were very ordinary.
- Does an actor understand another actor’s situation better than other people?
- Absolutely. It is like this in the set as well. Only another actor can understand your mood at that moment because we are actually very lonely in the set. Everyone has things to think about or handle. Since an actor relates to his character, he always about thinks about sentences and words. That’s why you feel very lonely.
- How does it feel like to get ready for a role?
- Someone imagines a character and you try to give that character a life. Getting to know a person in real life needs time and it is the same for getting to know a character. There may be situations which you couldn’t get to know the character or which you interpreted him wrong. Sometimes, one cannot be objective to oneself and may not want to see his weak sides. But, if your character is like that, then you bring him out from your soul and you face your own weaknesses. A character needs your feelings and details from your life. But that character is not you. Therefore, you need to have a sincere and truthful relationship with the character. If you want to try to fool or manage him, it responds you with a bad acting.
- It must be difficult for a person to protect himself from his acting!
- Absolutely. There is Engin as well. You should be able to balance out Engin and the character.
- Is every role a test?
- No. However, every role is a chance to know someone. When I accept a character, I get excited because I will meet a new person. The thing we call test is to know someone, to begin a journey with him, and to have the feelings you never had in your life before. Acting is a very interesting job. It gives you a chance to know and be interested in the things you’ve never been interested in before. For example, being a police officer. I learned about it in Dirty Money Love.
- What did Zeki Demirkubuz teach you?
- When I worked with Zeki Abi, I was very young. An actor should work with directors that will push him at the turning points of his career. And I had this chance with Zeki Abi. We worked together very brief period but he helped me to understand how acting in cinema was.
- You define “I wish I were a cloud” series as your turning point of your career. In “What is Fatmagul’s fault” you grew your hair and did we then realize that you were a leading actor?
- Mustafa Bulut was an anti-hero. You may not want to see that character as a leading actor. But, my role in Fatmagul was a leading role.
- Well, we can’t ignore the effect of your hair…
- Probably. (He laughs)
- You stare beautifully. Did you work on to stare like that? Or is it a a natural-born characteristic?
- This is in my nature. I don’t think about how to look or laugh at that moment. I am more interested in feelings. I don’t especially look for that moment.
- Do you think that you fulfill the romantic-man demand in TV Series sector?
- It depends on the character that I play. I don’t know whether I am instinctively preferred for these kind of roles. The projects that people knew me and that I had connection with viewers are like that (means romantic and emotional). I don’t categorize myself. I can crush the romantic-man image by playing something else one day. And this perception is mostly based on the characters rather than Engin.
- There are many women who sigh when they hear Engin Akyurek name. Do you like it?
- Of course, I like it. It is a very good feeling to be liked. I am very happy to be loved because of what I do. And they (his fans) are very consistent and beautiful people. Since I don’t use social media much, I follow them through my agent. Their support makes me very happy. Since I am not a singer or politician, I can’t be in their life as a person. But, I am a part of their life with the characters I play.
- What will viewers see during the second season of Dirty Money Love?
- Viewers know the truth now. This will bring some tension. I don’t know where the story goes but when I thought about the characters and what they are going to live through, I can tell you that there will be very exciting days. And there will be love in this season as well.
- Season trailers of Dirty Money Love were already broadcasted. While Omer gets arrested by his brother, he prepares a surprise for Elif. What will happen?
- Omer will be torn between Elif and his brother. His brother is on one side and his beloved is on the other side. The woman he loved is a criminal and his brother is a murderer. This season will be about how Omer will find out and solve this.
- In the series, it seems that people around Omer get themselves into trouble and that Omer is the only person staying out of trouble. Will this continue like this way?
- Actually, Omer is the most innocent character of this story. So does Elif. We tell the story of two innocent people coming together.
- How will Elif’s dirty money laundering affect Omer? And there is a marriage proposal as well…
- Omer already tells a message with his mentality of justice and his stance: “Love or your values?" These will keep Omer very busy this season. Most of us can guess how a modern person reacts in such a situation. Omer is a person who could tell things outside of accepted norms and he will.
- How was your summer?
- I spent my summer by diving in Kas. I’ve become interested in diving for the last couple of years and I enjoy it a lot. I want to try diving abroad. For me, diving is a feeling of freedom. Some people love to see fish, and some people love deep diving. I like the feeling of blue and being in the water. It is an area where you can’t speak and you are all by yourself. You don’t think anything, it is like a meditation. I also spent some time in Ankara.
- Who does criticize you the most?
- People I love.
- Whose advice do you listen to the most?
- I listen to advice of the people I love. I am not very stubborn and don’t insist that I am always right. I have a sense of justice for the right thing. Because of our profession, I need to have my own truths and I need to insist on those truths. But, I have to express them with the right energy. I am not an aggressive person.
- Who is your best friend?
- I have many. I see my friends in Ankara. I have a very nice group of friends.
- Are you organized?
- Sometimes, I am. But, sometimes, I am very messy. I get messy at home, but I clean it up. My books and movies at home are very organized. But, my bag is very messy. I can’t find anything in it. I guess it depends on my mood.
- What do you get mad at in your relationships?
- I can’t stand insincerity. If you are not sincere, you bring many negative feelings with you.
- Do you think that you know people better as you learned your job and as you get older?
- The more you get to know yourself, the better you understand people and you begin to feel empathy for them. Your carelessness and inattentiveness during your 20s are because you don’t know much about yourself. Since you are messed up, you don’t want to know about what other people think or feel.
- Your profession is egocentric. Do you compete with yourself or with others?
- I don’t feel like I am in a competition. We are here to live our lives. I am just doing my job. I don’t have such worries.
- What kind of advantages has a man in his early 30s?
- You feel surprised because some things are changing. I am not talking about what you see in the mirror; something inside of you changes. You make firm decisions. Your preferences and friends in your life, your perspective, and the rhythm of your life start falling into place. I think it is going to be very different in my 40s. I will be more like ‘a man’ then. I will be at a very pleasant point in my life. I will start enjoying my life in my 40.

I shaped my life like this to be able to live more comfortably and to be able to breathe. - Let’s talk about your family… - My mother is a housewife. My father, like 80% of Ankara population, is a government official. During my childhood, my friends’ fathers were government officials as well. And our life was like that: It wasn’t a problem if my friend’s father was a government official. I could be friend with him/her; because my parents would think that my friend would have specific cultural background and education if his/her father was a government official. I have a brother. He is doing his military service right now. We just sent him off for his military service. He is in Kastamonu and he will go to Batman. He is a banker. My parents still live in the same place. Our life there continues as it was before. After I moved out and started acting, our life didn’t change much. People whom my mother didn’t see for years feel the need of calling her after watching the series. I’ve never drifted away from my family. I visit them during bayrams and at every chance I get. - It seems that this government official mentality was reflected on you as well… You climbed the career stairs determinedly… - Certainly; I was raised with this mentality. - For which qualities of yours do you thank your parents? - It is a very difficult question. I resemble my mother physically. - Were you a popular young man of your neighborhood or school? - Girls in the neighborhood didn’t sigh “Oh my god, Engin!” when I passed them by. Puberty is very problematic for boys. If someone says that everybody admired him during his puberty, I would like to talk about him about what his secret was. One is not very attractive with his face full of acnes during that period. I began to get attention during my college years when my personality shaped up more and when I started playing in theaters. When everything fell into place, I had already moved to Istanbul. That is, my middle school and high school years were very ordinary. - Does an actor understand another actor’s situation better than other people? - Absolutely. It is like this in the set as well. Only another actor can understand your mood at that moment because we are actually very lonely in the set. Everyone has things to think about or handle. Since an actor relates to his character, he always about thinks about sentences and words. That’s why you feel very lonely. - How does it feel like to get ready for a role? - Someone imagines a character and you try to give that character a life. Getting to know a person in real life needs time and it is the same for getting to know a character. There may be situations which you couldn’t get to know the character or which you interpreted him wrong. Sometimes, one cannot be objective to oneself and may not want to see his weak sides. But, if your character is like that, then you bring him out from your soul and you face your own weaknesses. A character needs your feelings and details from your life. But that character is not you. Therefore, you need to have a sincere and truthful relationship with the character. If you want to try to fool or manage him, it responds you with a bad acting. - It must be difficult for a person to protect himself from his acting! - Absolutely. There is Engin as well. You should be able to balance out Engin and the character. - Is every role a test? - No. However, every role is a chance to know someone. When I accept a character, I get excited because I will meet a new person. The thing we call test is to know someone, to begin a journey with him, and to have the feelings you never had in your life before. Acting is a very interesting job. It gives you a chance to know and be interested in the things you’ve never been interested in before. For example, being a police officer. I learned about it in Dirty Money Love. - What did Zeki Demirkubuz teach you? - When I worked with Zeki Abi, I was very young. An actor should work with directors that will push him at the turning points of his career. And I had this chance with Zeki Abi. We worked together very brief period but he helped me to understand how acting in cinema was. - You define “I wish I were a cloud” series as your turning point of your career. In “What is Fatmagul’s fault” you grew your hair and did we then realize that you were a leading actor? - Mustafa Bulut was an anti-hero. You may not want to see that character as a leading actor. But, my role in Fatmagul was a leading role. - Well, we can’t ignore the effect of your hair… - Probably. (He laughs) - You stare beautifully. Did you work on to stare like that? Or is it a a natural-born characteristic? - This is in my nature. I don’t think about how to look or laugh at that moment. I am more interested in feelings. I don’t especially look for that moment. - Do you think that you fulfill the romantic-man demand in TV Series sector? - It depends on the character that I play. I don’t know whether I am instinctively preferred for these kind of roles. The projects that people knew me and that I had connection with viewers are like that (means romantic and emotional). I don’t categorize myself. I can crush the romantic-man image by playing something else one day. And this perception is mostly based on the characters rather than Engin. - There are many women who sigh when they hear Engin Akyurek name. Do you like it? - Of course, I like it. It is a very good feeling to be liked. I am very happy to be loved because of what I do. And they (his fans) are very consistent and beautiful people. Since I don’t use social media much, I follow them through my agent. Their support makes me very happy. Since I am not a singer or politician, I can’t be in their life as a person. But, I am a part of their life with the characters I play. - What will viewers see during the second season of Dirty Money Love? - Viewers know the truth now. This will bring some tension. I don’t know where the story goes but when I thought about the characters and what they are going to live through, I can tell you that there will be very exciting days. And there will be love in this season as well. - Season trailers of Dirty Money Love were already broadcasted. While Omer gets arrested by his brother, he prepares a surprise for Elif. What will happen? - Omer will be torn between Elif and his brother. His brother is on one side and his beloved is on the other side. The woman he loved is a criminal and his brother is a murderer. This season will be about how Omer will find out and solve this. - In the series, it seems that people around Omer get themselves into trouble and that Omer is the only person staying out of trouble. Will this continue like this way? - Actually, Omer is the most innocent character of this story. So does Elif. We tell the story of two innocent people coming together. - How will Elif’s dirty money laundering affect Omer? And there is a marriage proposal as well… - Omer already tells a message with his mentality of justice and his stance: “Love or your values?" These will keep Omer very busy this season. Most of us can guess how a modern person reacts in such a situation. Omer is a person who could tell things outside of accepted norms and he will. - How was your summer? - I spent my summer by diving in Kas. I’ve become interested in diving for the last couple of years and I enjoy it a lot. I want to try diving abroad. For me, diving is a feeling of freedom. Some people love to see fish, and some people love deep diving. I like the feeling of blue and being in the water. It is an area where you can’t speak and you are all by yourself. You don’t think anything, it is like a meditation. I also spent some time in Ankara. - Who does criticize you the most? - People I love. - Whose advice do you listen to the most? - I listen to advice of the people I love. I am not very stubborn and don’t insist that I am always right. I have a sense of justice for the right thing. Because of our profession, I need to have my own truths and I need to insist on those truths. But, I have to express them with the right energy. I am not an aggressive person. - Who is your best friend? - I have many. I see my friends in Ankara. I have a very nice group of friends. - Are you organized? - Sometimes, I am. But, sometimes, I am very messy. I get messy at home, but I clean it up. My books and movies at home are very organized. But, my bag is very messy. I can’t find anything in it. I guess it depends on my mood. - What do you get mad at in your relationships? - I can’t stand insincerity. If you are not sincere, you bring many negative feelings with you. - Do you think that you know people better as you learned your job and as you get older? - The more you get to know yourself, the better you understand people and you begin to feel empathy for them. Your carelessness and inattentiveness during your 20s are because you don’t know much about yourself. Since you are messed up, you don’t want to know about what other people think or feel. - Your profession is egocentric. Do you compete with yourself or with others? - I don’t feel like I am in a competition. We are here to live our lives. I am just doing my job. I don’t have such worries. - What kind of advantages has a man in his early 30s? - You feel surprised because some things are changing. I am not talking about what you see in the mirror; something inside of you changes. You make firm decisions. Your preferences and friends in your life, your perspective, and the rhythm of your life start falling into place. I think it is going to be very different in my 40s. I will be more like ‘a man’ then. I will be at a very pleasant point in my life. I will start enjoying my life in my 40.
