The star shared that he gained over 20 kilograms in two months for his role as a wrestler in the upcoming series, "Harman Yeri." Additionally, the role also required him to undergo intense training sessions, which caused multiple injuries during filming. Berk Oktay also added that he already lost 12 kilograms and is working on losing the remaining eight. Oktay told ET that he enjoyed the process, stating further that it helped in the portrayal of this specific character. The Turkish star also brought up his natural tan, which has been discussed on multiple occasions by fans on social media. After seeing Oktay's transformation in an Instagram post, a fan jokingly wrote on the platform, "No burak we need to start a diet." Another added, "hard to recognize my brother, very fitting though." Many actors and actresses across the globe undergo body transformations to fit a specific role. Hollywood actors like Mark Wahlberg, Rob McElhenney, Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, and many more gained weight for a specific role in a movie to help portray the character in mind. On the contrary, other actors are required to go on strict diets, become fit, and lose weight for specific roles, such as Henry Cavill for Superman, Kumail Nanjiani for Marvel's Eternals, Emily Blunt for Edge Of Tomorrow, and many more.
