59-year-old experienced actress Gonca Cilasun, who appeared before the audience with the harsh and authoritarian character Sadakat in "Uzak Şehir," drew attention this time with an image very different from her role. In the adrenaline-filled moments of Cilasun, who parachuted from a plane before the set, the Turkish flag detail on her outfit also stood out.
59-year-old Gonca Cilasun, who brings to life the character of Sadakat, the stern and authoritarian mother-in-law in the ratings-record-breaking series "Uzak Şehir," drew attention with her adventurous spirit, unlike her on-screen image. The successful actress experienced adrenaline-filled moments right before starting the new season's shoots. Images of Cilasun, who made a tandem parachute jump from a plane, wearing attire featuring a Turkish flag detail before the jump, drew attention.
ADRENALINE-FILLED JUMP BEFORE RETURNING TO THE SET
Before returning to the "Uzak Şehir" set, Gonca Cilasun took to the skies. The actress, completing her flight preparations, jumped from the plane with an instructor and glided down with a parachute.
As the free-fall moments were captured on camera, the 59-year-old actress appeared quite relaxed and delighted. After landing, Cilasun also savored the excitement of the experience.
TURKISH FLAG DETAIL DREW ATTENTION
One of the notable details in the jump footage was the Turkish flag detail on Cilasun's outfit. The actress being seen in attire featuring this detail before going up to the sky added a different touch to the parachute experience.
STERN ON SCREEN, ADVENTUROUS IN REAL LIFE
Cilasun's passion for parachuting is not new. In previous interviews, she had mentioned that despite having a fear of heights, she jumped with a tandem parachute and wanted to confront her fears.
Cilasun, who portrays Sadakat Albora, a character who establishes authority over her family and stands out with her harsh demeanor in "Uzak Şehir," once again revealed the stark contrast between her real-life adventurous personality and her role.
