Top 10 sexiest Turkish actors
Burak Ozcivit
Turkish TV series have long been a phenomenon: they are incredibly in demand both at home and in other countries. Part of the reason is the incredible appeal of local actors.
Who are they, modern sex symbols from Turkey? We have compiled for you a list of the most desirable artists, each of which boasts an army of thousands of fans.
Burak Ozcivit
Let's start with 35-year-old Burak Ozcivit, who is called the country's most popular actor. Such demand is the result not only of a competent choice of roles, but also of the artist’s natural sexuality.
Burak often plays hero-lovers
Like many of his colleagues, Burak began his career in the modeling business. After filming for a glossy magazine for four years, he realized that he wanted to develop in a new direction for himself. After several passing projects, he got a role in the TV series “Family House”, which brought Ozchivit his first success. Then there was a bright reincarnation in “The Magnificent Century” and a romantic role in the show “Korolek - the Songbird.”

It seemed that Burak was already at the pinnacle of success, but the series “Black Love” turned out to be a sensation for the artist. For millions of fans, his hero Kemal became the embodiment of the ideal man. Of course, this image added to Ozçivit’s popularity, turning him into an idol of the generation.
Burak and Fahriye are considered the most beautiful couple in Turkey
The actor himself is skeptical about the title of sex symbol: in interviews, he repeatedly emphasized that he never dreamed of crowds of fans. Burak has long been happily married to actress Fahriye Evcen and has a young son. Spouses rarely share details about their personal lives, because they believe that the existing attention from the public is enough for them.
Çağatay Ulusoy
Çağatay Ulusoy
Back in 2010, Çağatay won the “Best Model of Turkey” competition. At this event, he was noticed by an influential producer of a local TV channel, who offered the still very young Ulusoy a role in the upcoming series “I Named Her Feriha.” Of course, he agreed and was right! The project brought popularity and demand to the aspiring actor.
This was followed by several more projects that secured Çağatay’s title as a new sex symbol. The actor takes his popularity calmly, but he is offended when others see in him only an attractive shell.
“There are characters that require good physical condition and those that require you to be a little broken. I don't care about appearance at all while working. I'm not one of those men who admires themselves. I am a man with regular facial features, that’s all,” Ulusoy is sure.
The actor does not like his excessive popularity
But the world media have long considered Çağatay almost the main star on Turkish television. At least in 2020, Top Beauty World placed the actor in sixth place on the list of the most attractive celebrities from around the world. For Ulusoy, such recognition came as a shock. However, the actor is not going to make a career using his appearance alone. That is why now more and more complex dramatic roles are appearing in his filmography.
Kivanc Tatlitug
Kivanc Tatlitug
And another triumphant of the Top Beauty World list, who is often called the Turkish Brad Pitt. He began acting in films back in 2005 and quickly achieved popularity thanks to his striking appearance. Local media have even repeatedly written that the artist’s main “talent” is excessive sexuality.
“Black Love”, “Magnificent Century” - what do we know about Turkish TV series
Tatlytug tries not to pay attention to criticism, consistently choosing complex and interesting roles. In 2008, he began playing in the series “Forbidden Love”, on the set of which he met one of the most successful actresses in Turkey, Beren Saat. When the media reported about the stars' possible romance, the popularity of both skyrocketed. True, the rumors were never confirmed.
Kivanç's heart is busy
Tatlitug is now married to designer Basak Dizer. The actor’s wife doesn’t seem to care at all about his popularity. At least lovers often walk the Turkish streets without security, although they are pursued by crowds of fans.
Gyurbey Ileri
Gyurbey Ileri
Gürbey had a very successful start on television: not every young artist, you know, gets a role in “The Magnificent Century”. The series, which was successfully watched all over the world, made Ileri popular. The young man was called the hope of Turkish cinema. True, he himself was extremely selective in choosing projects, rarely filming.
“The Magnificent Century” 5 years later: what the stars of the series look like now
This principle of work justified itself: after working in “The Magnificent Century,” he appeared in another extremely successful historical project, “Resurrected Ertugrul.”
The actor especially appreciates dramatic roles
Unlike other handsome men on our list, Gyurbey is still single. He had close relationships with many Turkish cinema stars, but things never came to a wedding. “For me, a girl’s naturalness plays a big role, as well as her eyes. I believe that inner beauty illuminates outer beauty. In principle, it’s quite difficult to captivate me, so I was alone for many years,” Gurbey admitted earlier.
In the absence of a busy personal life, Ileri focused on his career. In 2020, two projects were released with his participation, however, neither of them gained popularity outside of Turkey.
Caglar Ertugrul
Caglar Ertugrul
And this tanned handsome man was literally born to become a movie star. Possessing ideal facial features, he first worked as a model, and in 2012 switched to filming TV series. The most successful projects with the participation of Caglar are “Kurt Seit and Alexandra”, “Tide”, “Mrs. Fazilet and her daughters”.
Few fans know that Ertugrul is not only attractive, but also damn smart. The actor graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Turkey, Koç University, with a degree in mechanical engineering. However, the passion for cinema and theater turned out to be stronger. At one time, Caglar even planned to conquer Hollywood, but after four months of living in Los Angeles he returned to his native Turkey.
The actor tries not to exploit his sexuality
The actor does not like to talk about his personal life: in interviews he usually notes that his heart is occupied, but does not mention the name of his chosen one. “I personally don’t like excessive freedom, but I don’t like restrictions either. I'm not macho. There must be balance, mutual trust and respect. You must trust the person you are with. If you have self-respect and faith in yourself, then so will the person you are in a relationship with. “It all starts with us,” the artist is sure.
Berk Oktay
Berk Oktay
Burke belongs to the category of actors who are adored precisely for their appearance. At least there are no big and popular projects in his filmography. But Oktay’s army of fans is growing by leaps and bounds, and all thanks to the star’s extreme sexuality.
Interestingly, Burke also initially chose a very unusual profession - he studied at the Faculty of Engineering Geology at Ankara University. As a result, the modeling business and dreams of an acting career took over the star, so he never returned to his technical profession.
Burke most often plays brutal heroes
Oktay has been married for a long time, although he does not flaunt his personal life. Together with his wife, Burke lives in Istanbul and often acts in films. All that remains is to wait for at least one series with his participation to take off.
Halit Ergench
Halit Ergench
Of course, we couldn’t pass by perhaps the most popular Turkish actor. Halit is an unconventional handsome man, although the impeccable body of this 50-year-old artist may be the envy of many young colleagues. Ergench wins over his natural charisma rather than his pretty appearance.
In the footsteps of Sultan Suleiman: all about the fabulous fees and betrayals of Halit Ergench
Of course, Khalit was given the title of sex symbol after he played the main role in The Magnificent Century. Strongly associating the actor with Sultan Suleiman, fans bombarded the star with love messages. But Ergench’s heart was already occupied then. Back in 2009, he married his colleague Berguzar Korel. At first, the artists’ romance was very scandalous: Berguzar was accused of stealing Khalit from his first wife. As a result, the actor even had to publicly defend his chosen one.

But now there is complete idyll in the relationship between lovers. Berguzar recently gave birth to Ergench’s second son. Now the husbands are thinking about their daughter. The latest project with Halit’s participation, “Babylon,” received high ratings from critics, so we can say with confidence that the Turkish sex symbol was born under a lucky star.
Gökberk Demirci
Gökberk Demirci
Gekberk practiced mixed martial arts for quite a long time, but one day he decided to try himself as a model. After several successful filming, Demirci attracted the attention of a famous deodorant brand. So he began to appear on TV screens. Of course, the start of an acting career was just around the corner.
At first, projects with Demirci’s participation were not popular, but in 2019 the series “The Oath” was released, which, as they say, “shot.” Fans went crazy for the sexy actor, and they began to attribute an affair to him with his on-screen partner Ozge Yagiz.
Gökberk is very popular in his homeland
It must be said that the stars are not against fueling rumors: every now and then they publish joint shots on social networks and appear together in public. The 30-year-old artist himself admitted that he did not expect such success. Nowadays Gökberk is constantly called the most attractive man in Turkey, which greatly confuses the celebrity.
Tolga Sarytash
Tolga Sarytash
Tolga is a true prodigy of Turkish show business. At the age of 17, he successfully starred in TV series, and after appearing in “The Magnificent Century” he became a big star in his homeland. Filming in the most popular costume show turned out to be difficult for the young actor, because he had to transform into the heir of the Sultan - the hunchbacked young man Jihangir.
“Playing someone with physical disabilities is very difficult. This role was a great experience for me. She revealed me as an actor. It was necessary to show a person for whom feelings and emotions were in the foreground, who tried to compensate for his physical disability with a craving for knowledge and art. His character constantly alternated between ups and downs, moments of happiness and despair. I carefully rehearsed the role, I had to get used to how a person with a hump should walk, sit, and stand. We did several takes to make the movements more natural,” said Sarytash.
Tolga became famous at a young age
And yet, the artist was often criticized: haters were sure that Tolga was not that talented. As if trying to prove the opposite, the actor works harder every year, appearing on screen in unusual roles. He particularly distinguished himself in the projects “20 Minutes” and “Daughters of Gunesh”.
Sarytash also has another hobby - music. He creates compositions that are very much in demand in Turkey. Well, and most importantly, Tolga is not married, and this is a great advantage for a sex symbol.
Selim Bayraktar
Selim Bayraktar
And closing our list is Selim Bayraktar, who became famous thanks to the same “Magnificent Century”. True, the actor’s on-screen image did not evoke erotic fantasies among fans: in the show, Selim played the role of a eunuch and Hurrem’s best friend.

Imagine the surprise of the audience when it turned out that in real life the artist is much more attractive than on the screen! In his next projects, “Queen of the Night” and “Rise of the Ottoman Empire,” much more attention was paid to Selim.
The actor's filmography includes many diverse roles.
The artist himself has not responded to romantic messages from fans for a long time. Firstly, he considers such behavior frivolous, and secondly, Bayraktar is happily married. The wife of the star Bikhter plays music and takes her husband’s popularity calmly. But 44-year-old Selim has no children yet.

Dylan O'Brien (26)
Dylan O'Brien in Teen Wolf
The first role means immediate success. Dylan played the restless and meddling Stiles Stilinski in the MTV series “Teen Wolf” (since 2011), and in one second the love of millions of teenagers around the world fell upon him. Then there were the projects “For the First Time” (on the set, by the way, he met his girlfriend Britt Robertson (27)), “Personnel”, the acclaimed trilogy “The Maze Runner”, “Deepwater Horizon” and “The Mercenary”.
Action hero Jason Statham
This British actor is no less a hero than a role. He played in such films as “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”, “Snatch”, “Adrenaline”, “Mechanic”, “Carrier”. Statham, thanks to his brutal appearance and charisma, makes the characters real heroes, even if he plays an assassin.

Well, there is no need to comment anything here. Everyone already knows what I'm thinking about. Well, how can you not love such a sweetheart man? One can only say how lucky Angelina Jolie is to be married to him.
Now I want to say that such men are needed only to admire them. And those who are for love and for the soul are next to you. If this doesn’t exist yet, it will definitely appear. And there is no need to look for the ideal of beauty (from the above list). There must be a loved one and the only one.
Timothee Chalamet (22)
The most promising newcomer in Hollywood. Timothy's star lit up only last year, when the drama Call Me by Your Name was released (he was even nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actor category, but lost to Gary Oldman). The guy studied at the LaGuardia School of Art in Manhattan, immediately after that he entered Columbia University, and as a child he often lived in Paris - his father was French.
Liam Hemsworth (28)

Liam also met his love on the set – he met singer and actress Miley Cyrus (25) on the set of the teen drama “The Last Song.” After the film's premiere, he became one of the most popular young actors in America and received an offer to star in the dystopian film The Hunger Games.
Josh Hutcherson (25)
By the age of 25, Josh managed to take part in as many as 103 projects! This is because he has been acting since childhood. But he became popular after The Hunger Games, where his partner was Jennifer Lawrence (27). By the way, she often said that she and Josh became best friends.
Chris Colfer (27)
Producer Ryan Murphy (52) says: in fact, initially there should not have been a stylish, mannered and fair gay Kurt Hummel in the series “Glee”. But Chris came to the audition, and Murphy realized that this was who was missing from the script. After Glee, Chris starred in the teen drama Struck by Lightning and wrote several books for children, Fairy Tale Land.
