I don't know... 0:00:55.109,0:00:56.509 It might be due to my personality. 0:00:56.509,0:00:58.599 But I went through a real crazy period too. 0:00:59.054,0:01:01.214 Especially through elementary school years. 0:01:02.498,0:01:04.548 -I was crazy those times.[br]-You were an incorrigible kid? 0:01:04.566,0:01:05.986 Yes, I was hyperactive. 0:01:06.490,0:01:07.600 I was thinking about 0:01:07.624,0:01:08.994 where to direct my energy. 0:01:09.020,0:01:12.900 Have you ever skipped school in those crazy years? 0:01:12.950,0:01:13.850 Of course, yes. 0:01:14.736,0:01:16.786 We actually used to do that frequently. 0:01:17.953,0:01:20.570 -Uh oh! The teachers...[br]-We used to keep the permissions for absence in mind, 0:01:20.577,0:01:22.817 we had a limit of 20 days. 0:01:23.322,0:01:25.302 We skipped school according to it, 0:01:25.302,0:01:27.112 or sometimes 0:01:27.174,0:01:30.184 we couldn't go due to sickness. 0:01:30.184,0:01:32.634 And sometimes we skipped school out of boredom, 0:01:33.346,0:01:35.366 to consume that energy somewhere. 0:01:35.467,0:01:37.307 We used to play soccer on football fields. 0:01:37.365,0:01:39.065 Or we used to rent a boat and sail. 0:01:39.318,0:01:40.286 Renting a boat? 0:01:40.294,0:01:42.444 Yes. I even have an interesting memory with a boat, 0:01:43.080,0:01:44.000 I shall tell it. 0:01:44.830,0:01:46.630 We, 5-6 friends, 0:01:47.088,0:01:48.718 went to Yesilkoy and rented a boat there. 0:01:50.011,0:01:51.431 What kind of a boat? Or a shallop? 0:01:51.431,0:01:52.581 Yes, a shallop. 0:01:52.775,0:01:54.795 We got in it, 5-6 friends. I was pulling the oar 0:01:54.795,0:01:57.955 though I didn't know how to pull those times. I learned later. 0:01:58.698,0:02:02.698 When I got tired one of my friends comes to help pulling, we pull together. 0:02:02.698,0:02:03.998 You were sailing really far away. 0:02:04.001,0:02:05.541 Yes. And the sea seemed still. 0:02:06.638,0:02:08.228 Then suddenly, 0:02:08.270,0:02:11.940 we realized that the shallop was dragging away without us pulling the oar. 0:02:12.144,0:02:13.594 We were being dragged by the current. 0:02:13.594,0:02:15.104 -Wow.[br]-Straight to the islands. 0:02:15.222,0:02:17.822 -Uh oh! They say that the Marmara Sea is very dangerous. 0:02:17.822,0:02:19.222 We didn't think of it. 0:02:19.243,0:02:20.923 You didn't think that would happen. 0:02:20.936,0:02:22.416 We were 15-16 years old but 0:02:22.589,0:02:24.649 we were blinded by the excitement of skipping school. 0:02:24.680,0:02:27.590 -Well, it was just Yesilkoy, not even Bosphorus.[br]-Yes, not even the Bosphorus. 0:02:27.884,0:02:30.194 Of course, it's possible to be dragged by the current in Bosphorus 0:02:30.213,0:02:32.143 but seemingly it's possible in Yesilkoy too. 0:02:32.588,0:02:35.981 Then we were like "What to do now?". We put the oars in the shallop. 0:02:36.029,0:02:37.946 We shouted. 0:02:38.061,0:02:40.181 S.O.S., help us, vice versa... 0:02:40.692,0:02:42.442 They corded the shallop to a boat and pulled 0:02:42.442,0:02:44.402 until we were out of the current area. 0:02:44.462,0:02:47.032 -We quickly approached the coast.[br]-They rescued you fast, you were lucky. 0:02:47.173,0:02:48.573 Yes. We were very afraid! 0:02:48.772,0:02:50.982 First, there was no one. After 15 minutes, a boat approached. 0:02:51.332,0:02:52.672 So we got rescued. 0:02:53.143,0:02:55.293 They carried us until we were out of the current zone. 0:02:55.354,0:02:58.344 Then we returned to the land. And of course, we never did something like that again. 0:02:58.460,0:03:02.460 We read it in the newspapers. People get lost when they go out for fishing.[br]-Yes, it happens a lot. 0:03:02.579,0:03:06.209 I guess a few people got lost in Silivri before. 0:03:06.331,0:03:07.741 Yes, yes, it happens. 0:03:07.741,0:03:08.821 The current drags you. 0:03:08.901,0:03:11.161 I learned that you also are into fishing. 0:03:11.202,0:03:13.082 Yes, I love it. It makes me feel relaxed. 0:03:13.470,0:03:15.070 I guess you've been fishing since childhood years. 0:03:15.125,0:03:15.755 Yes. 0:03:15.822,0:03:17.132 I found out that you were playing basketball too. 0:03:17.220,0:03:18.920 ı have played basketball for 9 years. 0:03:18.960,0:03:20.270 Did you play professionally? 0:03:20.323,0:03:22.133 As a licensed player, 0:03:22.408,0:03:24.158 I played for 9 years. Professionally. 0:03:25.097,0:03:26.577 I have an interesting memory. 0:03:26.959,0:03:29.789 I was going to play during summer school time. I also was interested in soccer. 0:03:30.151,0:03:31.451 I was 9 years old or so... 0:03:31.600,0:03:33.880 In our summer school, 0:03:34.223,0:03:36.703 there were different teachers for 0:03:36.936,0:03:39.166 each branch of sports 0:03:39.251,0:03:41.261 -a basketball, a football and a volleyball teacher. 0:03:42.044,0:03:45.304 How did you decide to be a model while playing basketball? 0:03:45.614,0:03:49.084 Then I...The basketball... You know, everything is 0:03:49.262,0:03:51.162 like happening with a chain reaction. 0:03:51.191,0:03:55.191 -Yes.[br]-Each situation is the cause of the next. So playing basketball made me physically ready for modeling. 0:03:55.271,0:03:56.251 Sure, definitely. 0:03:56.285,0:03:58.528 So you started playing basketball in elementary school and continued. 0:03:58.610,0:04:01.595 No. I started playing when I was in primary school. 5th grade. 0:04:01.616,0:04:03.526 4th or 5th grade. 0:04:03.655,0:04:07.655 I guess while playing basketball, people were asking you 0:04:07.737,0:04:10.277 why didn't you think of becoming a model. 0:04:10.406,0:04:12.836 But this thing came to my mind: 0:04:13.262,0:04:16.162 Have you ever thought about being a model 0:04:16.306,0:04:19.346 so that you can switch to acting? 0:04:19.450,0:04:20.790 Did you think about it? 0:04:20.911,0:04:23.221 -Actually...[br]-Because, in my opinion, 0:04:23.280,0:04:27.280 as far as I know you, instead of modeling, 0:04:27.280,0:04:30.040 acting has precedence over it. It seemed to me that way. 0:04:30.063,0:04:31.613 Did you begin with that idea? 0:04:32.154,0:04:33.694 I didn't begin with that idea. 0:04:34.198,0:04:35.798 But right now 0:04:36.256,0:04:37.946 both are... 0:04:38.049,0:04:41.883 You asked me something like, "Do you like your mom or dad more?" 0:04:43.093,0:04:45.466 I began with modeling and have performed for 2 years. 0:04:45.756,0:04:47.408 So you loved modeling? 0:04:47.457,0:04:49.517 Yes, I liked it a lot. It's enjoyable. 0:04:49.978,0:04:52.568 You pose for photos and 0:04:52.984,0:04:54.254 you earn money. 0:04:54.924,0:04:56.544 It's a nice job. 0:04:56.615,0:04:57.715 But 0:04:58.035,0:04:59.975 I didn't have this thought when I participated in the contest: 0:05:00.194,0:05:03.514 "I'm working as a model now and earn money 0:05:03.514,0:05:07.514 but to earn more or to become more famous I should be an actor." 0:05:07.952,0:05:10.532 I mean, I didn't use the contest as a steppingstone. 0:05:10.840,0:05:12.920 So they recommended and you tried.[br]-Yes. 0:05:13.040,0:05:15.250 - I participated in and...[br]-When you were chosen the best model you received offers. 0:05:15.594,0:05:17.554 It was a bit about seeing my potential. 0:05:17.725,0:05:21.075 I never used "the best model contest" as a steppingstone 0:05:21.529,0:05:24.369 to switch to acting, to become known more. This is kismet, destiny. 0:05:24.583,0:05:25.983 Thousands of people participated in the contest after all. 0:05:26.126,0:05:27.696 And that year, I was chosen. 0:05:27.696,0:05:28.326 Yes. 0:05:28.326,0:05:31.248 More or less 2,000 people applied for it. 0:05:31.248,0:05:32.558 Yes, you're right. 0:05:32.632,0:05:34.162 That's what I remember too. 0:05:34.961,0:05:37.421 When you were chosen as the best model last year 0:05:37.932,0:05:41.932 ou received offers for acting and you focused your attention on it. 0:05:42.183,0:05:43.753 There was something strange, 0:05:43.759,0:05:45.319 I remember it clearly, 0:05:45.328,0:05:46.848 the night when I was chosen the best model 0:05:46.899,0:05:50.899 -you know, rain means blessing, abundance- 0:05:51.341,0:05:54.731 that night it was raining very heavily outside. 0:05:55.612,0:05:59.152 Like, the drops that were falling were splashing water on my face. 0:05:59.830,0:06:02.380 So I said, "Hopefully this becomes as abundant as the rain." 0:06:02.515,0:06:04.695 Since I was chosen the best model. 0:06:04.993,0:06:06.753 I hoped that my success would continue. 0:06:06.762,0:06:08.102 I said, "I will put effort for it too." 0:06:08.162,0:06:12.162 And 2011 has been very productive for me. 0:06:12.397,0:06:13.447 I'm very lucky! 0:06:13.487,0:06:15.697 -But you...[br]-That night I promptly received an offer 0:06:15.779,0:06:18.989 Right after I wished for the rain to bring abundance. 0:06:20.355,0:06:22.565 12 a.m. at night I announced as the best model. 0:06:22.710,0:06:24.750 We went to celebrate it with my friends at 2 a.m. 0:06:25.490,0:06:27.320 At around 3 a.m. Erkan Ozerman called me. 0:06:27.545,0:06:29.255 He said, "Cagatay, go to MedYapim (the production company) tomorrow." 0:06:29.703,0:06:32.733 -So you started working with MedYapim.[br]-We had an agreement in a very short time. 0:06:33.417,0:06:37.189 Then we started filming.
