Actor Kerem Bursin

Kerem Bursin was born on June 4, 1987 in beautiful Turkish Istanbul. Chigdem's mother is a housewife. Father Ibrahim Pamir is a businessman who runs an international company. In addition to the guy, the family has a daughter, Melis, an older sister. The childhood years in the biography were eventful. The first move took place when the future actor was not even a year old. Due to duty, parents move from Istanbul to Scotland. But they didn’t stay there for long either.

The next point was Indonesia, where the family lived until Kerem’s 5th birthday. The same list includes the United Arab Emirates, Kulau Lumpur, and Turkey again. But this did not harm the upbringing of children in the family. The actor admitted that traveling around the world made him versatile and instilled respect for other cultures.

When Bursin was 10 years old, his parents stopped moving from one country to another and settled in America, Texas. From this moment the boy's creative development begins. As a teenager, he begins to think about cinema and creates his own rock band with school friends.

After graduating from the Lyceum, the guy enters Emmerson College in Boston in the acting department. However, the father wanted his son to devote himself to a serious business that would provide professional skills and contribute to career and social growth. Approval fell on marketing.

In order not to upset his parent, Kerem goes to Los Angeles. But studying was hard, and thoughts of the big screen couldn’t leave my head. The guy understood that his father’s education and connections would ensure a carefree future. My soul was drawn to films. The choice has been made. It is worth saying that the mother fully supported her son at this moment.

First roles

In his interviews, Kerem admitted that he remembered his first casting, which was organized for him by a university friend, for the rest of his life.
He was terribly afraid of the director, in his excitement he forgot the text and went home absolutely sure of his failure. But the next morning he received a call saying that he had been approved. Kerem was happy: his role in Roger Corman’s film “Thursday” was small, but a start had been made. Soon, the charismatic Turk began to study acting with Eric Morris, who introduced the inimitable Jack Nicholson and the legendary Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger to world cinema.

To earn a living, Bursin took on any part-time job: he was a security guard and driver, a waiter and a bartender. And he became a regular participant in various castings. He got small roles and was paid little money, but Kerem was glad that he was doing what he loved, even if not in the highest-grossing films. He recalled that from the American period of acting, the most delusional film in his cinematic life was Declan O'Brien's film "Sharktopus", where he played Andy Flynn, the partner of the main character, who was embodied by Eric Roberts.

Film career

At the time of filming the horror film “The Phantom of the Imperial Palace” by Anthony Sito, Bursin dreamed of fame as the main Turkish actor in Hollywood. But when the directors asked him about film projects in the homeland of his childhood and learned that Kerem had spent his adult life in America, interest in him disappeared. His last name was almost always pronounced incorrectly, which upset the actor, since it had roots in one of the Turkic leaders.

Over time, the young man realized that it was better to be the first in Turkey than to get lost in the large crowd of beautiful and talented, but little-in-demand Hollywood actors. Chance helped him become a star in his homeland. He went to Turkey for his cousin’s wedding, where he met Gaye Sokmen, a producer, who recommended the young man to a casting agency.

Bursin’s first audition for Altan Denmez’s Turkish drama series “Waiting for the Sun” brought him the leading role of Ganesha Beklerken. Sensual Kerem instantly won the hearts of fans of television series. He was immediately invited to Çağan Yrmak’s musical melodrama “Whisper If I Forget,” where he met Turkish film stars Farah Zeynep Abdullah and Mehmet Günsür on the set.

Altan Denmez did not forget about Kerem’s brilliant performance and invited him to play the main role in his next series “A Matter of Honor”. Yigit Kilic, performed by Bursin, turned out to be daring and cunning, dissolute and selfish.

Then there was a break in Kerem’s creative career. He never starred in the project “Beyond Melancholy,” although he had great hopes for this role, and went to travel the world in the company of actress Serenay Sarykaya. Bursin would later say about that period: He returned to acting in 2021 - in the multi-part drama by Çağrı Vil Lostuvala and Ender Michlar “This City Will Follow You.” Love and boxing, social inequality and victory over oneself - all this was embodied on the screen by Bursin in the image of Ali Smith. An interesting experience for the actor was the Turkish military action film by Çağatay Tosun, “I Will Give My Life.”

The famous actor Kerem Bursin was born on June 4, 1987 in the wonderful Turkish city of Istanbul.
Very often his last name is written as Bursin, but it is still correctly pronounced and written through yu - Bursin; confusion occurred during the preparation of family documents in America. Due to the fact that there is no letter ü in the English alphabet, the surname was written with a “y”. There are parents who now live in Texas. Mom's name is Chigdem, and dad's name is Ibrahim Pamir. And also her older sister Melis, who is a professional photographer who organizes her own exhibitions in America and Turkey. When he was only 10 months old, the family moved to Scotland. Since his father ran an international company, they often had to move from place to place. Later they moved to Indonesia, where Kerem lived until he was 5 years old, and then went to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Later, for some time they lived again in Turkey, Ankara, and from there they left for Kuala Lumpur. Life in different parts of the world has shaped Kerem as a versatile person, instilling interest and respect for different cultures. Soon the family finally settled in a certain place, and the state in which Kerem Bursin spent most of his life was sunny Texas, USA. In America, he also lived in cities such as Boston and Los Angeles. He studied at the Texas Lyceum. I created a rock band with my friends from the lyceum, the guys even held several concerts. After graduating from the Lyceum, he moved to Boston and entered the Boston Emmerson College in the acting department. He received the “Best Actor” award while playing in a theater group. Later he goes to university to become a marketer. This was the main condition of the father, who was against his son’s desires to become an actor. At first he demanded that Kerem receive a decent education. But studying at the Faculty of Marketing. After graduating from university, Bursin goes to Los Angeles. A career as a marketer predetermined him to be confined to an office all his life, as well as rapid advancement up the “ladder”, having his father’s connections, but Kerem chooses creativity. At this fateful time for the guy, his family lived in Malaysia. This is where his acting career begins. He was taught acting by Caroline Pickmany and Eric Morris (one of the most sought-after acting teachers, whose students included Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jack Nicholson). Kerem found his lessons difficult, but he tried to overcome all difficulties. Also in LA, he was noticed by film director Roger Corman, known for his horror films, who has repeatedly received an Oscar. Kerem remembers the casting conducted by Corman as an incredibly difficult day. He was nervous, confused his words and was sure that he had failed. But to his surprise, he was invited to play the cameo role of a former soldier. Fickle small roles did not bring the future star much income, and he fundamentally did not want to ask his parents for money, so he did not avoid any work, trying himself in different industries - Kerem managed to try out the professions of a waiter, limousine driver, and bodyguard. He believes that this period of life helps him to be a good actor, since he experienced the whole essence of a rich life of prosperity, as well as the difficulties of becoming and the hardships of an independent life. Kerem said in an interview that he was truly happy: “I went to auditions. I spoke like an American, but said “I am Kerem Bursin,” everyone was surprised that I was Turkish. Every time they started asking questions about Turkey, although it may not sound tactless, they perceived my origin in a special way. The first question was always what did I do in Turkey, what projects did I participate in? I said that I have always been in America. I studied, I lived. At this moment, their interest in me disappeared. Because there are a huge number of actors in Los Angeles, all talented and beautiful. They were looking for someone special, with a twist. In any case, my main dream is to become a Turkish Hollywood actor.” The young actor was always drawn to Turkey. Usually, since childhood, I came to my grandmother for a short period in my free time. I dreamed of living in my homeland. Also, the decision to move arose after the tragic death (bicycle accident) of his best friend in New York. I decided to change my life. Change the fact that "was a Turk who never lived in Turkey." After moving, 4 days later he joined the army. In America he starred in several films, in episodic roles. Somehow, after moving to Turkey, he starred in the Chinese horror film “Sharktopus”, considers this step an adventure and always laughs at reviews about the complete nonsense of the film. At a relative’s wedding in Istanbul, I met Gaye Sökmen. She invited him to try himself as an actor in Turkey and helped him contact the agency, which Kerema signed with her. This is how his career began in Turkey, after which he became famous throughout the world. On July 2, 2013, the series “Waiting for the Sun” began, which brought him his first wild popularity. This is a remake of the Korean drama Boys Over Flowers. His partners were famous actors Emre Kynay, Hande Dogandemir, Yagmur Tanrysevsin and others.

Personal life of Kerem Brusin

The actor says practically nothing about the American period of his personal life. When he began to be considered one of the sex symbols of Turkey, it became much more difficult to hide the relationship; he had to answer some questions from the ubiquitous journalists. While filming the film “Waiting for the Sun,” Kerem met the attractive young actress Yagmur Tanrysevsin. They were together for a year, after which they broke up without explanation. Bursin's friends clarified the situation - the actor was tired of the constant whims of a spoiled girl.

In 2021, Kerem starred in a commercial with actress Serenay Sarikaya. It was love at first sight. In one of the interviews, the guy admitted that he was happy and in love more than ever, and the press immediately started talking about the upcoming wedding. But the young people were in no hurry to formalize the relationship, motivating this decision by being completely busy with their careers and by the fact that marriage was too serious a step.

Kerem Bursin with Serenay Sarikaya

Haters said that Serenaya demanded that her lover draw up a marriage contract, which became the first crack in their relationship. But Kerem did not reproach the girl publicly with a single word. It must be said that a respectful attitude towards the fair sex is a distinguishing feature of Bursin from his many colleagues.

Alas, after several years of living together, the most promising couple in Turkey, as they were called in the press, broke up. In 2021, the paparazzi captured Serenaia in an embrace with another actor, Cem Yilmaz, who broke up with his former passion Defne Samyeli for her sake. And Kerem, according to journalists, found solace in the arms of the young singer Melisa Şenolsun.

Demet Ozdemir

At the beginning of 2021, the tabloids started talking about the actor’s new romance with the beautiful Turkish woman Demet Ozdemir, to which Bursin asked the publications not to spread rumors about his romantic adventures, noting that he is not one of those who starts affairs for the sake of intrigue:
