Turn feelings into words that hurt and heal

Can Yaman

Can Yaman, the actor preparing for the filming of the series “Sandokan,” announced a weight loss of 10 kilograms in a month and shared his experience on social media:

“After completing the filming of ‘Purple Like the Sea 2,’ I decided to spend time with my family and loved ones before the new year. I indulged in Turkish cuisine, knowing that upon returning to Rome, I would begin intensive work on my next character: Sandokan. My first goal was to achieve the ideal weight for the role, and then focus on psychological preparation. In a month, I shed about 10 kilograms, from 94.5 to 85 kilograms. It was an intense period, with workouts 2-3 times a day and intermittent fasting with low calorie intake. I was tired but healthy, full of energy, and satisfied with the result thanks to the supervision of specialists. This is part of the actor’s process: immersing oneself fully into the role. I will continue to work to achieve the perfect portrayal of Sandokan. But today, I decided to take a break from the rules and enjoy food. I ask for your support, as always. See you soon…”
