Okan Yalabyk – a popular Turkish actor, who plays the role of Ibrahim Pasha in the serial “The Magnificent Age”.

Okan Yalabyk was born on December 13, 1978 in Istanbul. Okan is the second son in the family. He has an older brother, Ozan, who later acquired the profession of director, creator of video clips. Parents of the future artist had no relation to the world of art. My father was engaged in the development of family business, my mother worked in the banking sector.

Probably the first time about the acting career Okan Yalabyk thought at school. The guy grew up attractive, with a bright model appearance and athletic build. Okana engaged in various activities that took place in the school. The boy liked being in the spotlight and performing. Yalabyk enrolled in a theater club that worked at the school. The premieres in the school theater and the first applause convinced Yalabyka of the correctness of the road on which he had stepped.

After graduating from school, Okan Yalabyk becomes a student of the Department of Drama of the Istanbul Conservatory. The young man learns acting skills from venerable mentors, most of whom are popular Turkish actors.

Films
Okan Yalabyka’s theater career began when the actor turned 20 years old. The novice actor was accepted into the Istanbul Theater. On these stages Okan deserved the first glory, the first theatrical awards and recognition of the audience. Among the scenic works Yalabyka highlighted role in the production of “The Seagull”. No less popular among connoisseurs of scenic art were the performances with the participation of Yalabyka “Lieutenant from Inishmore Island”, “Dealer Choice”, “Thirty-nine Steps”.

But wide fame came to this bright and talented artist after appearing on the screen. Without leaving a theatrical scene, Okan Yalabyk made his film debut in episodic roles at the end of the 90s. In 2003, the actor starred in the melodrama “Outcast” (another name of the film – “Serseri”). Success comes immediately. The series becomes the springboard after which Okan Yalabyka’s cinematographic biography rapidly develops. After “Outcast”, Okan becomes a real idol and sex symbol of Turkey.

In the same 2003, Okan Yalabyk began filming a new film. This time, not in the serial melodrama, but in the short film “Masterpiece”. Hero Yalabyka – famous composer. In 2006, the comedy melodrama “First Love” became a significant project for Okan, the broadcast rights of which were acquired by three European countries. In the television series, the actor got the role of the brother of the protagonist Ege.

The following year, the artist receives many proposals from leading Turkish directors. Yalabyk appears on the screen in the rating Turkish TV shows “Pain of Autumn”, “Understand, Beloved,” “Does this Heart Forget You?” And “Hunting Season”. In the latest film, Okan Yalabyk brilliantly played a police officer named Hassan.

It is noteworthy that, playing in melodramas, Okan was able to demonstrate the versatility of talent. Yalabyk did not fixate on one role. The artist organically looks as in the role of a mystical thriller hero, and in the image of reckless lovelace in the comedy film “Womanizer”.

The real glory and deafening success came to the actor after the release of the historical series “The Magnificent Century”. The role of Ibrahim Pasha was played brilliantly. The image of this charismatic and bright hero, friend and adviser to Sultan Suleiman I (Halit Ergench), the husband of his sister Hatice (Nebahat Chekhre), attracts attention, and in the performance of a talented actor Ibrahim turned out incredibly attractive. Spectator attention, riveted to the events of the last century that took place in the Ottoman Empire, is unprecedented. The dramatic success of the series turned its participants into mega-popular stars of Turkish cinema.

Personal life

The first wife of the star of Turkish cinema was the actress and the beautiful Hande Soral. But after two years of marriage in 2012, the couple quietly broke up. What caused the rupture of family ties, for sure nobody knows. Some fans of the actor argue that the cause of the divorce was the huge employment of these two famous artists and the busy working schedules. Others say that the absence of children is the main stone about which the family boat crashed.

After the release of the TV show “The Magnificent Century”, Okan’s fans and journalists started talking about the supposedly romantic relationship between Yalabyk and his partner in the film Selma Ergech. But both artists have denied the presence of office romance, calling it rumors.

Not long ago, Okan Yalabyk “lit up” in the company of 28-year-old actress Hande Dogdemir. But in 2015, the relationship of the actors ceased, the girl did not take the vacant position of the wife of Okan Yalabyk. Now the actor prefers to hide privacy from the public.

Turkish screen star is easy to communicate and does not suffer from stellar disease. Colleagues speak about the artist warmly, telling that Okan is intelligent, kind and decent. In any company Yalabyk immediately becomes the soul and center. And this is despite the fact that the artist is a recognized star of Turkish cinema and is among the top 10 most attractive actors in Turkey.
