Engin Ozturk

Engin Ozturk is a Turkish actor who became famous for the role of Shehzade Selim in the popular TV series The Magnificent Century.

Engin was born in September 1986 in northwestern Turkey, in the city of Eskisehir. The boy grew up in a family where his mother, an emigrant from the Greek Soloniki, was an ordinary housewife, and his father had Bulgarian roots and served in the army as a military pilot.

Engin became a long-awaited boy in the Ozturk family. After all, 3 daughters were already growing up here, but the heir still did not appear. The boy grew up playful and from a young age he enjoyed volleyball and other sports. But Engin dreamed not of a sports career at all, but of the sky. He wanted to become a pilot and fly a liner. Engin Ozturk studied without enthusiasm and rarely pleased his parents with high marks.

In high school, Ozturk suddenly became seriously interested in psychology, which he devoted his free time to. As often happens, chance decided everything. Once the guy got to a theatrical performance, at the end of which he realized that what was happening on the stage interested him more than anything else.

After leaving school, Engin Ozturk went to Ankara and entered the theater department of the State Conservatory. The young man liked to study, but it was difficult to survive in the capital without the help of his parents. Therefore, after classes, the guy worked as a bartender.

Engin Oztürk's cinematic biography developed rapidly. In 2010, the aspiring actor went to the casting of the series "Little Secrets of Istanbul". But the directors could not discern the necessary potential in the unknown artist. Engin did not give up and made his debut in the first film the same year. The young man was taken into a series called "What is Fatmagul's fault?"

Ozturk got the role of the rapist, but this did not embarrass the actor a little. After all, Engin would not have been able to make a career in cinema without experience and track record. In the bright role of the darling of fate, who, together with his friends, outraged the girl and after the trial managed to get out of the water, the artist looked convincing and attracted the attention of the audience. The main roles of Fatmagul and the captive groom - Karim - were performed by Beren Saat and Engin Akyurek.

In 2012, after receiving a diploma, Engin Ozturk set out to conquer the heights of Turkish cinema. The young actor starred in the detective story "Behzat Ch. Serial Crimes in Ankara", where he played Commissioner Emre.

The next was a cameo role in the historical military drama "The End of the Road in Canakkale", where the actor appeared as the hero of the battle of the Ottoman Empire against the Entente forces during the Dardanelles operation. The war drama was watched by the audience in Turkey, Germany and Japan.

Soon Engin was noticed by eminent directors. The artist was invited to appear in the multi-part biographical drama "The Magnificent Century", offering to play Shehzade Selim. After the release of this epic tape, the young artist woke up famous. The actor, it seems, did not even dream of such a success. After 50 countries bought the rights to broadcast the Turkish tape, the world learned about the existence of Engin Ozturk.

The young actor did a great job. The image of Shehzade, nicknamed “Selim Blondin”, became one of the central ones in the series. The father of Engin's hero, Suleiman I, was played by Halit Ergench, and Roksolana's mother was played by the actress Vahide Gerdyum (nee Perchin). Selim survived the execution of his elder brother, an internecine war with his younger brother, and only after the death of his father ascended the throne. The hero's beloved, future wife Nurbanu, was performed by the actress Merve Bolugur.

Russian viewers met the star of Turkish cinema a little later than Engin's at home. The historical drama The Magnificent Century was broadcast on the Domashny channel and attracted a million audience near the screens.

The film opened a broad road to the world of cinema for Ozturk. After finishing work on the set of The Magnificent Century, Engin immediately received many offers from the creators of Turkish TV series. In 2014, the artist's fans saw Ozturk in the film "On the Path of Life". In addition to Engin, another star of the "Magnificent Century" starred in the film - Nur Fettahoglu, who plays the role of Mahidevran Sultan.

The medical melodrama was warmly received by Turkish audiences and was continued the following season. The film is about a clinic staffed with a new team of young professionals headed by an experienced leader, the founder of the hospital. The team began to work on creating an impeccable reputation for the establishment.

Engin's next work was the main role in the melodrama "Remember Genul" about a girl who was a pupil of an orphanage. Genul (Gokche Bahadyr) is interesting to men, but the girl herself cannot decide on the choice of her future spouse. One of the young people in love with the beauty was played by Engin Ozturk, and Onur Saylak was reincarnated as a rival of his hero.

One of the latest projects with the participation of Ozturk today is the melodrama "High Society". Here, the audience recognized their favorite actor in the form of the hardworking Kerem, who meets the spoiled Cansu on the way. Passion flares up between young people. Khazar Erguchlu was chosen for the main female role.

In the press, you can find many stories about the novels of the popular artist. The personal life of Engin Ozturk, who has turned into a star of Turkish cinema of the first magnitude, is considered especially closely. The journalists talked about allegedly existing romances with actresses, among which they named Hande Soral, Merve Bolugur, Handa Dogandemir, Cansu Dere and Oyku Karael. But there was no confirmation of these rumors.

But Engin does not deny romantic ties with two Turkish artists. At one time Ozturk met with Elif Sokmen. Then there was a short romance with Turku Turan. But in 2013 it became known that the girl never became Engin's wife.

In 2015, Ozturk's personal life again found itself in the epicenter of close press attention. The actor began to be met in the society of Idil Firat. Engin claims that the feeling of falling in love is the most beautiful of all. And Ozturk is ready to fall in love again and again, but his busy work schedule is a hindrance on the way to new romances.

Now the actor is in a creative search. For 2017, not a single picture was released with Ozturk's participation. Engin Ozturk admitted that he dreams of playing the role of a mentally unbalanced hero. The artist devotes a lot of time to physical training. Engin has mastered crossfit, is fond of boxing. Oztürk periodically posts photos of sparring matches on his own Instagram.
