Did Can Yaman End His Relationship with His Longtime Managers? The Gossip and the Truth About the Star of El Turco

Can Yaman is at the center of new gossip following the latest awards for El Turco. Has the actor left his longtime managers Cuneyt Sayil and Ilker Bilgi? Here's the truth about the current rumors.

In recent years, Can Yaman's career has seen a significant rise since he moved to Rome with the promise of starring in Sandokan and then accepting the lead role in El Turco. In the last few hours, just before midnight and thus Can's birthday, a rumor has spread about a possible split between the Turkish actor and his longtime managers, Cuneyt Sayil and Ilker Bilgi. But is it really true? Let's unveil the truth behind the rumor of the moment.

Can Yaman and the Success of "El Turco"

About four years ago, Can Yaman decided to move to Rome, leaving Turkey after some disagreements with production companies in his country, at whom he recently took a jab. The Turkish actor patiently waited to step into the shoes of the Tiger of Malaysia in the remake of Sandokan, which wrapped up just a few weeks ago after four long months of filming with an international cast and an entirely English script. Before dedicating himself to this role, however, Yaman accepted other projects that brought new success to his image, such as playing Chief Inspector Francesco Demir in the series Viola come il Mare, and Balaban Agha in the historical TV series El Turco.

This last role, in particular, has aroused the curiosity of viewers because this production, shot entirely in Hungary over about six months, also features an international cast and an English-language script—the very first one Can has tackled in his acting career. Yaman presented El Turco at MipCom 2024 in Cannes and will soon embark on an international tour, bringing his legendary commander around the world with great passion—the same passion he brought in front of the camera to portray him at his best. On 8th November Can celebrated his bday, and the actor can definitely be satisfied with what he has built in his career, as he is now a globally recognized actor, which could radically change the direction of his future. Is this the reason why Yaman has suddenly decided to cut ties with his longtime managers Cuneyt Sayil and Ilker Bilgi? In recent hours, gossip has been rampant, but not everything is as it seems. Let's find out what happened.

Did Can Yaman Change Managers After "El Turco"? The Truth

Since his days studying to become a promising lawyer, Can Yaman knew that his heart had room for his love of acting, and he followed his instincts, making the best choice since, at only 35 years old, he is one of the most sought-after actors of the moment. The Turkish star's resume has greatly expanded in recent years, moving from soap operas to historical and international productions, which could further enhance his career thanks to audience approval. In the last few hours, just before Can's birthday, a bizarre news spread claiming that, in light of the success he is experiencing especially with El Turco—the historical TV series that will debut on the small screen in February 2025, in which he plays the Ottoman commander Balaban Agha—the actor has suddenly decided to drop his longtime managers and friends Cuneyt Sayil and Ilker Bilgi.

Those who have known Yaman since his debut in Italy know that the two are extremely close to the actor, as they are also his best friends and have been there for him in both the best and worst moments. Is it possible that he, after all they've been through together, has decided to forget about them for convenience? The answer is simple and is a big, resounding no. The news is actually a colossal fake spread by the agency MN2S, and Cuneyt himself confirmed on his Instagram page that nothing has changed in terms of work with Can. A sigh of relief for his fans, given that currently the actor's Instagram profile is closed and he seems to have no intention of reopening it anytime soon; they can catch glimpses of his life through the photos his managers share on social media.
