Family: Son of the famous Turkish Folk Music artist İzzet Altınmeşe, originally from Diyarbakır. His mother is a housewife, and he has an older brother and an older sister. “For as long as I can remember, there have been folk songs at home, my father’s baglama in his hand while he was writing music, for example. I remember listening to P. Diddy’s I’ll be Missing You around 1996-1997. My father did not interfere with anything, neither in music nor in choosing my school or profession.
When I said ‘Dad, I want to go to football’, he sent me to the football course without any questions. While I was studying cinema and television at Istanbul Bilgi University, after failing two years in a row, I went and asked my father to pick me up from school.” I told him, and then he said, ‘You know, son.’ I was either going to do hip hop or be an actor. I was clear on that. “He respected my decisions and always made me feel that.” Childhood years: Since his childhood, he observed the people around him very well and imitated them.
“People around me were always aware that I had such a potential, but I postponed it until university age. Since we were always together at home, the verse was passed on to my mother. I was constantly making different faces and hairy gestures towards my mother. I discovered strange movements in the mirror and went and tried them on my mother. I tried my movements and facial expressions on him. “You’re crazy,” he said.
It’s weird when you learn that you’re crazy from your mother. I was a bit of a naughty kid at school too. I wouldn’t disrespect the teachers, but I wouldn’t follow the rules too much. I have even been disciplined. We were breaking walls, we were breaking doors. “We were fighting with friends, that’s childhood.” Education life: He left his education at Istanbul Bilgi University Cinema and Television Department after two years.
Later, he took private acting lessons at Craft Acting Workshop. The turning point of his life: The turning point of his life was when he left Bilgi University after studying for 2 years and started acting. “When I entered the university, I wanted to study cinema and TV. Of course, I always had a dream of acting and music. Then, for a while, I failed the class and I felt sad about it. I left school and started taking acting lessons at Craft.
I’m glad I failed the class and took those classes. I have never regretted leaving school. I believe that everything that happens has a reason. When I look back, I see that I left school just in time and I say, ‘I’m glad’. Because at that moment in my life, the only thing I wanted to do was acting and music. I made a brave decision. My family always stood behind me. My father was not confused when choosing a department or leaving school.
Just ‘This decision has its benefits and drawbacks. But you know, he said. So if I fail, I have no one to blame in the future. But thank God, I have never regretted my decisions so far.” First step into acting: He started his television adventure with the series ‘Conscience’. Which project did he shine with? He attracted attention with the character ‘Umut’ he played in the TV series ‘Aslan Ailem’. Personality traits: Patient but can be impulsive at times.
“People have known the actor Fırat Altunmeşe until today, some of them knew him as the son of İzzet Altınmeşe. The master is more moderate, trying to remain patient. However, I am a different person in my private life, very emotional and a little impulsive. I like sharing, I like bringing people together, I like organization. I’m usually a cool person when I’m not angry. I have strong communication skills with people.
However, in some situations, my vision may darken momentarily. People who know me are careful not to put me in that situation. I don’t hold grudges, and if there is no ulterior motive in the action taken, my anger will go away within an hour. I’m a bit possessive and protective. I have always been protective of my loved ones when I had a lover. “I am also someone who likes to share.” Mentality: People in his life always learned later that he was the son of a famous father.
This situation is very normal for him because he does not like to live his life as İzzet Altunmeşe’s son. “No matter what you do, people find something to shake. İzzet Altınmeşe’s son, famous actor. But there is such a situation at home that I have never walked as İzzet Altınmeşe’s son. For example, in my first TV series, Vicdan, only the director knew, my colleagues found out in the third week. I live in Moda, even the shopkeepers there are angry with me, asking why you didn’t tell me before.
The only thing my father kept us away from was the cameras. He has always been someone who stays away. I can’t imagine myself on magazine pages like that, and I don’t want to anyway. “I don’t think I’m a tabloid product either.” Source of happiness: Acting with the actress Reha Özcan, whom she admires, in the TV series Miracle Doctor is one of her greatest sources of happiness. “Reha Özcan is my favorite actor after Şener Şen.
It can take any shape and take on any character. We worked together before in Maral. We have a lot of fun together and I unknowingly learn something from him while we chat in a non-didactic way. Even watching him on stage is a lesson in itself.” First movie: Ahmet Küçükkayalı/ Without Me Person he admires: There are actors he admires and says ‘we should definitely share the same set’; “The best player in Turkish history is Şener Şen.
I am even willing to be an extra in a movie starring Şener Şen. Also, Cem Yılmaz is someone whose intelligence I admire, and I believe that we can achieve a good energy in terms of comedy on the same set. “I would love to be on the same set with Hüseyin Avni Danyal and Gülse Birsel.” His view on love: “I think love means being completed, becoming sensitive, tearing down your walls, taking off your masks, and finally dying.
I am quite interested in Sufism. We come into the world and we all try to be one, we want to be complete. This usually happens with the opposite sex. Even if you experience the greatest love in the world, there are always missing points somewhere. So love is beautiful, but nothing is perfect. When I like someone, I take the first step, but I don’t push. I act as I feel like. If I like it, I will say it directly. “I expect the other party to be comfortable, too.” His view on life: He does not take stereotypes too seriously.
“Even though I don’t look like that from the outside, I live life more deeply.” His view on business life: His father was the best role model for him in terms of learning what to do in the face of fame. “My father, İzzet Altunmeşe, never put us in the spotlight too much. But with him, I learned what to do in the face of fame. That’s why, even though I feel the fame, I continue my normal life because it will never affect me much, thanks to what I learned from my father.
So, in business life, I am not inferior to the ‘Famous’ father. No one who knows my father at all would ever think of such a thing. After Feride Hoca started shooting the series, she came to me and asked, “Are you İzzet Ağabey’s son?” My father always said, ‘There is no harm in art. “If necessary, you can wait ten years, and after ten years, a door will definitely open.” Career plan: He likes doing comedy. “Since my childhood, I have been able to let out my comedy side more easily.
I can see details that no one else sees and have fun with them. “I enjoy laughing and making people smile.” Future Dream: Along with acting, he had another dream that he carefully nurtured since childhood; ‘Hip hop’. He realized this dream with an album he named ‘Now is My Time’. Another big dream of his is to work together with his father. “It was an album of nine songs. The work took approximately two and a half years.
But it was a dream for 15 years. One of my biggest dreams is to be able to collaborate with my father, I didn’t want to do this on the first album, because I didn’t want to appear as İzzet Altınmeşe’s son. But I surprised him in the album by covering the original Indian song Avare, sung by my father. The original track is from a 1951 Indian movie. My father also made a Turkish version of the song in 1989. I also took the background of the song, together with Da Poet, we took the instruments, wrote hip hop drums on it, and used my father’s vocals in the chorus.
However, later we had problems with my record company in obtaining the rights to the song and unfortunately I could not include the track on the album. But of course I made my father listen to it. I sang it at the launch, people liked it very much. The important thing is that the album resonates with me. Maybe people will discover it in two years, maybe six years. Just like I discovered Jay Z’s album released in 1996 much later.
I didn’t make this album thinking about what the market would want. It hasn’t been heard much yet, but of course it will be heard. My father always says, ‘Patience, perseverance, contentment.'” What can’t he tolerate? Injustice infuriates him. “I never fail to respect anyone, but if there is injustice, if what is done is not fair, my voice will always be raised.” What kind of music does he listen to? Big Jay Z fan. “Other than that, I love Kendrick Lamar, P.
Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Joey Badass. Among the Turks, I think Ezhel is number one, and I think he will progress worldwide. Among the young people, I can say Şam and Baneva. Names that I can call my friends and that I like very much. I listen to all kinds of good music, arabesque, pop, folk song, it doesn’t matter.” Who does he admire? Jamie Foxx is one of the people he admires the most in his life. “I also like Will Smith very much.
You like some names because of their energy, Will Smith is that for me. Among the directors, the most popular ones are Nolan, Tarantino, Scorsese and of course Tim Burton. Until Nolan came along, my number one was Tim Burton. He has such a dream world and he reflects it in such a way that if someone shows even a single frame from his movies, you will immediately understand that it belongs to him. Either from the atmosphere or the costume.
As an actor, I loved Joaquin Phoenix even before Joker. He had a bad role in ‘Gladiator’, that’s why our generation grew up not liking him. It was so convincing. After watching it in ‘The Master’, I said, ‘Okay, this guy is crazy.’ I think he was the best and only person who could play the Joker after Heath Ledger. By the way, I would like to add Engin Günaydın to the players I see as the masters of our period. “He is truly someone who plays with every facial expression and strand of his hair.” Criteria for attractiveness in women: He finds women like him attractive.
“If I notice you playing, I will immediately cool down. If this situation affects a normal man a little, it can affect me many times more. I don’t know, one move he makes, one word he says can end everything. A very materialistic person is not for me. I know very well that the result of this is not happiness.” What kind of movies does he like? He watches all kinds of movies. “I like both horror and comedy. “I like everything Seth Rogen does.
I love that crew, James Franco, Jonah Hill… I am a fan of the TV series ‘The Office’. Can there be a person like Michael Scott? Steve Carell is also a truly incredible actor. I love science fiction, my favorite movie for a long time was ‘The Matrix’. From Sufism to Buddhism, the Matrix has everything. Interstellar is also very important to me. Quantum means the same thing as Sufism to me, it means It is very difficult to explain it with a movie, even to have the courage to explain it.
If Christopher Nolan says, ‘Walk’, I will walk. Does he follow the fashion? If he feels good by wearing a coat that was trendy 20 years ago, it will be the trend for him. A friend of mine even looked at me one day and said, “Coloring book from Diyarbakır.” Even when I was hanging out in sweatpants, I was very colorful. Whatever you feel comfortable with suits you. Doesn’t fashion repeat itself after 10-15 years? If you have something you love, throw it away, the time will come anyway.
“The most things in my closet are colorful socks, white t-shirts and hats, I love caps.” What does he spend money on? He describes himself as ‘old school’ when it comes to online shopping. “I was very old-school about it, but I opened up especially when I started shopping at Urban Outfitters. Of course, I bring things that I cannot find in Turkey. I do my own shopping, but I’m too lazy to go into the trial booth. I usually take it on and off, I don’t like to try it very much.
