Can Yaman: 5 Facts About the Sandokan Star You May Not Know

Can Yaman is shining brighter than ever, his career is on the rise, and we are revealing five facts about his private life that you may not know.




Can Yaman is the new Tiger of Malaysia in Sandokan, and the Turkish actor has achieved incredible international success, making him one of today’s leading stars and further cementing his status as a sex symbol. But how well do you really know Can? Here are five facts that may surprise you.

1. Can Yaman Used to Be a Lawyer

Can Yaman graduated with a law degree from Yeditepe University in Istanbul and briefly worked as a lawyer before devoting himself fully to acting, a profession he had always loved.


That was the career path his family had initially hoped he would follow, but Yaman was fortunate to have the support of his loved ones, so there was no major family drama when he changed direction.


In several interviews, Can has said that his legal background gave him a strong sense of discipline and structure, qualities he now applies when preparing for new projects and action scenes.







2. Can Yaman Hates His Feet


To the public, he appears flawless—a Greek god descended from Mount Olympus, with an imposing physique, piercing eyes and an innate sensuality that immediately made him popular, especially among female viewers.


In reality, Can has revealed that there is one physical feature he strongly dislikes: his feet. The Turkish actor admitted that having such a large shoe size is not always easy to manage. He also said his toes are not perfectly straight because he played so much sport in the past.








3. Can Yaman Is an Impressive Polyglot

In addition to Turkish, his native language, which first brought him fame through internationally successful series such as Erkenci Kuş, Dolunay and Bay Yanlış, Can Yaman speaks Italian, English and German fluently.

He attended the prestigious Italian High School in Istanbul, where he distinguished himself as one of the school’s brightest students.


He has now also added Spanish to his repertoire after working in Madrid on the new television series Il Labirinto delle Farfalle, which features a script written entirely in Spanish.






4. Can Yaman Is a Dedicated Philanthropist


Over the years, Can Yaman has also stood out for his commitment to helping others.


The Turkish actor may initially come across as guarded or distrustful, but in recent years he has made it clear that his caution toward the media is understandable, given the many false stories that have been published about him.


Yaman cares deeply about others, especially children. He founded the charity Can Yaman for Children, through which he has supported numerous causes and even helped create a pediatric ward at Rome’s Policlinico hospital.







5. Can Yaman Is Single


Do not believe every rumor about him. Can Yaman recently lashed out at a well-known weekly magazine for spreading an unfounded story about his private life.


Can’s most recent official relationship was with Sara Bluma, the beautiful DJ who accompanied him to several European events connected to Sandokan. Their relationship eventually ended, but the actor chose not to reveal the details, and Sara did the same.


So, for now, there appears to be no new romance in Can’s life. He simply has too much work on set to focus on love.
