The day before, Tarık Emir Tekin, the star of the new season of the series “Golden Boy / Yalı Çapkını,” attended the GQ Turkiye awards ceremony. In an interview with journalists, he confessed, “I am a very family-oriented person and often share various aspects of life with my father. We seldom talk about football or acting skills. I can say that my father is the best one could have. In my childhood, I was involved in sports within the ‘Beşiktaş’ structure. They wanted to turn me into a goalkeeper. However, in my first match, I conceded 14 goals, and that marked the end of my goalkeeper career.”
