Gokhan's interview(Magazine "Be Man").

Gökhan Alkan

Interview of Gokhan Alkan for BeMan Magazine, February 2018. Part 1.

Wonderful person. A man who is not only very handsome in appearance, his heart and soul are even more beautiful. He laughs very beautifully when he laughs, our soul is warmed. He is extremely polite, cultured and erudite. Favorite person of young girls, children, women, in short, all. He was on the screens in the series "Heartbeat" on Shaw TV, soon we will face new projects. Steep, successful, thoughtful, writing, painting, feeling, sensitive, well educated, magnificent actor.
The higher education you received is not related to the profession of an actor, how did the events lead to this? How did you decide to become an actor?

To be an actor, i.e. show other than his character, a different character. I believe that this desire does not come afterwards.

"I did not manage to engage in trade and therefore decided to become an actor" - I can not imagine such a situation. We can notice this in ourselves later and having received an education, and also having learned some techniques, we can work as actors.

I also received and continue to receive (meaning education and teaching methods). The fact is that you must accept yourself, coordinate your mind, your heart, your spirit.

When you just take the methods and tactics and apply them with the things you later acquired, then in character and in a state of life, I think that there is some deficit. And so our main task is truth. I have been such since this idea matured in my mind. The performance of this work of an unbalanced subject, emerging from itself and being in search, is a circumstance permitted from childhood.
With regard to the universities I graduated from, I can say: "It's good that I studied there and in those days it had to be." I was a technician, and the profession of an engineer further developed my analytical thinking. And this is great comfort, both in life and in the work of an actor.

What does the theater matter to you, are you going to continue?

The theater for me has the following meaning; birth. The place where I found and accepted myself, the place where my strange, changeable mood was normally accepted, where I met people like me, and in this place I learned that I can earn a living. A place where new horizons opened for me. Recently, for work I traveled abroad, then to my village, I felt as if I were returning to the place where I was born. Return to the past (myself) will be and the theater, of course, I will continue to do.

You have a musical past. Do you have plans for music? You would really like to do music (it would have been great), is there any project currently planned for music?

Thank you for such wonderful words. We, at the theater, which we created ourselves, somehow realized a musical production. We were about 50 people, but there was no financing

Since officially the theater was in my name, at that time I felt like a producer. It was very difficult, but I learned a lot of time. We were able to withstand this load, but after all this, in the theatrical performance I will take on only the position of an actor. I really love to sing. Somewhere about 10 years ago, we were on stage in one summer place. I want to further develop my voice and monitor this matter. I would like to share my sketches with people.

You are an actor with awards. What rewards did you take to your home?

Thank you. And you are a magazine with awards. It will turn out bad if I start talking about the awards received; I think you will understand this (appreciate). I will continue to live like this, to do so. It's worth it to be valued and get a reward. Since there are those who look at us, we are considered worthy of these awards. I want to thank all our viewers and those who love us through you.

How would you distribute the triangle "Cinema-theater-series"?

Theater: freedom. Movies: pleasure. Series: the truth. It is impossible to give up the truth and have fun and freedom. All of them are important. No distribution, there are needs that need to be selected.

You played in the series "Palpitation," you made the final. What do you say?

The palpitation was on the screens of 28 series. We, with friends behind the scenes, with the crew and friends, the actors tried to tell our story most beautifully. It was a great project. I thank all our viewers, who from the first day we loved and watched, as well as all those who worked for the "Palpitation."

From you and your partner, Oyku Kararel, you've got a great pair, what can you say?

Our energy in front of the screens liked the audience who love us. This is very valuable. Because, they can put themselves in their place. Some couples are like that, they complement each other. You envy them. Ali Asaf and Eylül, born (created) for each other, a harmonious couple. Therefore, on the "Golden Butterfly" we were called "The Best Serial Couple", thank them for it. Of course, do not forget that this success consists of a successful choice of actors and writing character of the hero, it is an undeniable truth. Therefore, I send greetings and thank you for choosing our general coordinator Ugur Atukman Taban and our old and new team of script writers.

Would you like to be a doctor like Ali Asaf in real life?

We are talking about the legendary professor with IQ 150, a real surgeon who is married to a beloved woman and is a very virtuous person, a dervish of our day. How do you think? I believe that the most sacred and prestigious work in the world is the doctor's work. Of course, I wanted to.

Translate:
Q: Where do you feel most peaceful?

Q: Friends or How did I meet your mother?
Gokhan: Friends, because 90th is a soul.
Q: We know what your beautiful voice is, what song do you like to sing the most?
Gokhan: The song that I like to sing the most .. In this regard, I have an appetite like a monkey, I like to sing all the songs.
Q: Our motto is "Be stylish!", And what is your motto?
Gokhan: My motto is: "Respect and be a man."
What Gekhan, when he is not an actor?
I am always friendly with all those who are sincere. I believe that on those insincere ones you should not even pay attention (to look them in the face). Because they do not bother me. In life, we can not love everyone (everything), but we have to show respect. Therefore, we can say that there is a respecting Gekhan. After I began to develop in myself the ability to empathize, I learned to listen more and laugh. Humans tend to make mistakes. All of us people, of course, there are things that we are angry with, but we have learned not to see, forget and do not stretch.

If you wanted to play the "opposite" character, what would it be?

Work as an actor is a fan. I believe that how much more colors you will hold at this fan, its wind will be so different and colorful. I like to go beyond my possibilities (to measure the limits of my abilities). In truth, our mind and imagination have no boundaries. Mind is the greatest blessing given by Allah. At the same time, we limit ourselves, we do not use all the possibilities of our mind to the full.
Is there a film or any character (character) that has a very strong effect on you? (among the world).

The film, which had a very strong impact on me, "The Green Mile." A beautifully written and played hero is Heath Ledger, in the role of the Joker and Brad Pitt in the role of Tyler Durden.

What Gekhan in love, what traits does he seek in the beautiful half of humanity?

I support the idea that love is in the power of the mind. We must control love with the mind, if we give ourselves completely to our senses, we will perish, do not let Allah.

I want to show my view of love with the following beautiful words from the song: "My interest in love from time immemorial, and you were an excellent excuse (excuse)." Let our life never end in fine excuses (excuses). A person does not choose the one to fall in love with. This is a special (personal) affair, the pain of modernity. As our fathers said: "In such cases, they rely on fate (this is all destiny)."

Do you have someone in your life?

In my life, in my mind, there is no one in my heart.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

The ego only thinks about the future and because of this we miss the moments. I live by the moment, and I'm not so brave as to miss it. I'm a hedonist and continue to have fun. Who will die in 10 years, who will remain ...

What is your view of fashion? Are you getting help? How do you dress?

I'm aware of the power of fashion, but I do not follow her. In this matter, I prefer to turn to professionals. 2 years I get professional support from Goekce Chil and Hakan Ozturk.

Do you have an accessory that you think will bring you luck?

I do not have such an accessory.

Do you like night life, what is your view of entertainment?

To have fun at night or in the afternoon, have some type of entertainment - I do not care. If I have no business, and my head is relaxed, I will live the moment and enjoy it. With regard to time planning and sleep mode, I grew up on a "German" discipline. I control the entertainment, and not they me.

3 things that come to your mind about life?

Trying to be happy in life is like trying to be tall. Therefore, thank Allah, do not expect anything in return, do good and love the work you do. Maybe the birds are short, and life is flying ... (Leila comment: I can not understand if it's a typo in the magazine, or Gekhan changed the words a little.) Original phrase: hayat kısa kuşlar uçuyor - life is short, birds fly).

What is the most unusual compliment you've ever received?

In the series "Family of my husband", my little partner Beren Gekyyldyz: "To love you is my duty, you are my pride. I'll bite you (eat) until you grow one with me. Then I can calmly love you "and a bunch of such very unusual ones, which the world has not seen, complimented me. As if before me appeared a living embodiment of the teachings of Freud. It seems that these are the most sincere compliments that I received and will receive in life. She was only 5 years old when she said these compliments. I send greetings to Beren. I love her very much and wish that the successes in her life continue.

What makes you feel your glory? Do you like being famous?

Reputation or fame gives us a chance to understand what we really are, to decipher ourselves. That is, they are games of the mind. Glory does not make me feel something. Therefore, I express my joy to my friends, and naturally, I can not convey my displeasure …
How do you think an actor can submit himself, how can he develop himself?

"Do you study? I beg you, study! A person can only protect and develop his brain and nervous system in this way, "said Rosa Luxemburg. Learning, listening, looking and watching ... You need to be a person who is studying, not a person who knows.

What do you do to feel good?

I think about the good and smile.

Describe yourself using 3 words?

Will I describe it in five letters? İnsan (person).

Is there a secret to this beautiful smile?

Thank you. You are very kind. I dont know. I smile as I go from inside, as it turns out. Let's all smile and make it more beautiful.

Our motto is "Be stylish". And what is your motto?

Respect and be a man.
