He is truly all it. He is respectful, insightful, artist, talented, humble, very down to earth, well cultured, intelligent, wise, interesting, adaptable and very admirable. Not to mention, very handsome. It is a pleasure to listen to him and watch him act. Number ONE in my opinion.

He is just like his name 'Kerem' noble generous. He has a brilliant mind, and all the credit goes to his upbringing his parents, his sports coach who has shown a direction to him and his theatre teacher. All these have made him a beautiful gentleman. Brilliant mind, so much wisdom. Apart from acting, he is conerned about the world about gender inequality. His parents have raised him well thats why he behave so well, communicates snd understand the other person well. What his teachers have taught him and his experience, he is giving it back to the universe. We all have one life and very few people surround with such people who show you the right path and his teachers had shown him in his childhood. After seeing this interview, i admire him alot. I wish i was also like you..

[floridasalam]

Kerem is one of the very few artists, globally, who have so much to give to this world in a very magnificent way. His perspective about life, how it works, taking decisions, women, and other things are of another level. This gentleman deserves to be loved and respect ❤

[dbaurichter]

Brilliant interview. Thank you for asking great questions! I like his analysis on the the film/ TV industry in Turkey. How he refers to it as an ecosystem and his role in it. How does an actor reconcile the fact that he is profiting from a film industry that limits women and also, continues to normalize violence against them?
There are no simple answers but I'm glad he is thinking about it, trying to find ways to push against it and finding others to join him in this endeavor. Kerem you were born for such a time as this! Keep going!!

[gracestagg]

Very down to earth, well cultured, intelligent, wise, interesting, adaptable and very admirable Kerem…I love to see more of him in international stage (movies, Hollywood, Netflix)…I’m from Sydney Australia but I am falling in love with Turkish movies with English subtitles and Netflix Turkish movies. Turkey is in my Tour List once this pandemic is no longer risky and dangerous. I love to see Kerem succeed.

[cristinayoung]

The best description of who really Kerem Bursin is..this is how my own opinion goes.
"He is simple and down to earth, a very low -key person. Kind-hearted man who always believe in equality, not abusive but a law-abiding citizen. He is very talented and has a brilliant mind, ..so smart and he's got the look that every woman could dream about.

[micamonfasani]

This is the type of interview every artist deserves! Kerem seems to be confortable and relaxed, I could listen to him for hours..

[himurahaibara]

It must be fun to have experience living in different countries, makes you fluent at different languages, become easily adaptive and you saw many people from many culture as well.

[jbrzr]

not only is he handsome and good actor but also so humble and a great human being his attitude is amazing, I can say that he makes me think about my life .we love you kerem
