early years
The boy's biography began in Turkey, where he was born in the spring of 1982. He was born into a large, poor family, where, besides him, there were five other boys. My father worked at a construction site, and my mother was engaged in housekeeping and raising her sons. There was always not enough money in the family, so children from an early age learned to earn a living on their own.
After graduating from school, Kadir began to look for at least some job in order to have some free money. He began to earn money as a water peddler, salesman, construction worker, and even for some time was engaged in repairing bicycles.
His dream was to find a job in the restaurant business and become a professional chef or bartender. The young man believed that these professions are very prestigious and highly paid.
In those years, Kadir did not even think about an acting career. Together with his friends and brothers, he loved to go to the cinema and to theatrical performances and sometimes only dreamed that a boy from a poor family would one day turn into a screen star. But in real life, the young man was more worried about earthly problems and the constant search for a suitable job.
Kadir's older brother, after graduating from school, moved to Istanbul and, having received a professional education there, became a stylist. It was he who helped his brother move to the capital and try to find a prestigious job in a bar or restaurant.
Having got a job as a bartender, Kadir realized after a few months that he could not earn big money here and fulfill his dream. He had already decided to go back to his hometown, but then he was lucky. Thanks to his attractive appearance, he got the opportunity to try himself as a model. After passing the casting, Kadir got a job at the agency. From that moment on, he began to build his creative career.
