Master actor Settar Tanrıöğen lives in a two-bedroom apartment in Istanbul that he bought for his daughter years ago, along with his cat, Sürmeli. Normally, he spends time at his farmhouse in Kandıra, but he uses this apartment when he comes to the city for work. Tanrıöğen, who emphasizes the importance of healthy eating in his memory-filled home, shared that he has carried the journey he started by selling meatballs to the stages.
Master actor Settar Tanrıöğen shared both his home and life story on Kanal D's beloved program Evrim Akın ile Ev Gezmesi. Normally living in his farm house surrounded by greenery in Kandıra, Kocaeli, Tanrıöğen stays in a two-room, one-living room apartment in Istanbul that he bought for his daughter during her student years when he comes to the city. The artist shared the story of the house, saying, "My daughter no longer lives here, and I use this house whenever I come to Istanbul."
THE HOUSE BOUGHT FOR HIS DAUGHTER NOW BELONGS TO HIM
Tanrıöğen stated that the charming apartment in Istanbul was actually bought for his daughter, Göze, and after she moved out, he started using the house himself. He explained his preference by saying, "It was difficult to go back and forth from my farm house in Kandıra, so I now stay here to be closer to my work."
A WARM LIVING SPACE
The apartment, which has two rooms and a living room, features a decoration dominated by earth tones, theater posters, and years of memories. The master actor's cat, Sürmeli, has become the joy of the house.
HE SHARED HIS HEALTH PROBLEMS
Last year, Tanrıöğen left the project he was involved in due to health problems and shared the days he experienced a brain hemorrhage and the difficult process he went through. Emphasizing his strong attachment to life, the artist said that this period reminded him even more of the value of life.
"I USED TO SELL MEATBALLS AND SANDWICHES AT THE MARKET"
Tanrıöğen, who also recounted his childhood years, stated that his family always said he would one day become an actor. He mentioned that during his youth, he sold meatballs, sandwiches, and rice pudding at the market to make a living, recalling those days with the words, "I used to knead the meatballs myself; I have always loved cooking." Emphasizing that he eats very healthily, Tanrıöğen also expressed that he does not eat out and prepares everything with his own hands.
