What is your reason to be an actor: popularity or intrinsic satisfaction for touching upon people’s lives?
Şükrü Özyıldız: Popularity is a big trap. I suggest my friends who just start acting not to fall into that trap. Here, the popularity is not an ultimate aim, it is a side effect. To touch upon other people’s lives is very important. Without speaking, to say “I feel what you feel” is valuable. Acting is a way of sharing and empathy.

U have become rich w Capitalism. Maybe take a step back and reflect. I thought u were a smart man.
Easy for someone to come up with such nasty comment when hiding behind a nickname like Grandma. Who ever you are, you must be a very frustrated person, I pity you, I pity you greatly.
I am a real grandma, I am 77 years old, I have been a fan of this wonderful man, Sükrü Özyildiz, since March 2020. I’ve discovered a great great actor with tremendous skills, a kind, generous, caring and loving soul.
I have been watching and re-watching all his work, films and series , and I am always stunned with his great acting abilities. This man is Unique in every way, and also gorgeously handsome.
I love him like a grandson, I love his humanity, I love the way he sees life.
A gentleman, a one of a kind genuine person.
