The Ottoman - who became known in Spain in 2019, thanks to the TV series
Erkenci Kus
and
Dolunay
- has
more than 10 million followers
on Instagram, who go crazy every time the artist posts a video or photo. What's more, Yaman gets between 3,000 and 7,000 comments per post... And it is expected that he will soon accumulate
more fans
around the world. And at the end of April, the star will begin filming a
new version of
Sandokan
.
A series, based on the novels by author Emilio Salgari that caused a sensation in 1976.
According to the interpreter, his preparation for Sandokan has been
intense
. So much so that in February, he managed to
lose "10 kilos in 30 days."
"After finishing filming
Violeta como el mar
, I returned to Rome to make a
radical change in my habits
and prepare for Sandokan. The first objective was to reach the ideal weight for the character. It was a very hard period, because in one month I managed losing almost 10 kilos, going
from 94.5 to 85 kilos.
It was an intense phase and I had to
give up many pleasures,"
he confessed on Instagram.

"Today I train
two or three times a day,
do intermittent fasting and consume very few calories. But there is no need to worry. I am
exhausted
, but I am perfectly
healthy, detoxified and light.
But, above all, very satisfied. Obviously, all this "has happened with the continuous monitoring of serious and competent professionals. In the end, this is what actors do: they transform when necessary and mold themselves from time to time to be able to embody a new role," he said a month and a half ago. .
Despite this, this hard training has not changed his personal agenda... Because in Can's life the most important thing is not work, but
his charitable work,
which he does through
Can Yaman for Children.
A non-profit organization, "that aspires for
children to live their lives in the best possible way."
"I grew up in Turkey and suffered from deprivation in my childhood. And now, that I have achieved success, I propose that all children have the basic things they need to live," explains the famous man on his website.

"My mission is to guarantee
that sick children receive
timely treatment and that minors, in the poorest families, have access to quality education," says Yaman. According to numerous media outlets, Can began its foundation in 2021 and one of the first centers to benefit was the Umberto I polyclinic in Rome, where the celebrity came to bring joy to small boarding schools. "My biggest dream? That all children
can smile properly,"
she then told
Corriere della Sera.
Over the last month, Yaman has dedicated himself body and soul to his NGO and, according to his Instagram, has visited places such as the Seraphic Institute of
Assisi
- which focuses on young people with severe disabilities - or the São João Hospital in
Porto
. In addition, the actor has participated in a conference, in
Treviso , where
the topic of mental health
was discussed .
"Anxiety is a widespread problem that forces young people to close in on themselves and makes them
unable to face everyday life,"
he posted on his social networks.

"Today, this problem has a name. It is called Hikikomori Syndrome and to address this problem we promote the Break The Wall initiative. We want to convey the message that
you are not alone and that you can ask for help.
Our association wants to shed light on this issue and support young people who suffer from it. We are always at your side, united by
a message of love and hope,"
says Yaman on Instagram, where he usually publishes all the activities of his foundation.
And what about
your personal life?
According to the Italian press, Can Yaman
is single
and defines himself as "a free man." However, that doesn't mean he doesn't know love. In January 2021, Can Yaman was seen very affectionate with
the journalist Diletta Leotta.
But her fans never imagined that less than a month later she
would ask him to marry her.
And what did the lucky woman say? Yes. But, unfortunately,
the engagement ended in the summer,
because she "couldn't stand him always partying anymore."

A year later, Yaman was seen on several occasions with an interior designer
named Giorgia Colombo.
Even so, both denied their alleged romance. Likewise, Can has ruled out having a relationship with other celebrities, such as her compatriot Demet Ozdemir and her partner in
Violeta como el mar
Francesca Chillemi.
"The press invents girlfriends for me
and no, I'm not in love... But when I had a real love you did everything possible to ruin it," she wrote in June 2023, on Instagram.
