Actor Delioglan expresses reluctance about sharing a lip-lock scene with his TV counterpart
In the world of German television, the sibling duo of Özgü Delioglan and Metehan Demiroz have been captivating audiences since last year in RTL's series "Under Us." Filmed in the bustling city of Cologne, the pair portray Esma Gülek, a baker, and Baris Gülek, a customs officer, respectively.
Their on-screen chemistry is not limited to the small screen. Off-camera, Delioglan and Demiroz have been known to act playfully and mischievously, much like their characters. This behaviour has reportedly caused a bit of jealousy from Demiroz's real sister, who finds the pair's closeness reminiscent of a real sibling relationship.
Despite their frequent playful banter, Delioglan has made it clear that she has no desire to film a kissing scene with Demiroz in another production. This sentiment stems from the idea feeling strange, rather than any personal discomfort. The idea of such a scene in another production is hypothetical at this point, as no such project has been announced.
The unique bond between Delioglan and Demiroz on the set of "Under Us" seems to have extended beyond the confines of their roles. This influence is apparent in their behaviour and interactions off-camera, with Demiroz occasionally referring to Delioglan as his "sister" in jest.
"Under Us" has been a staple of RTL's afternoon programming since 1994, and continues to air today. The series, set in a small town, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Gülek family and their neighbours, providing viewers with a heartwarming and engaging storyline.
Delioglan and Demiroz were recently interviewed by the German Press Agency in Cologne, where they discussed their experiences working on the series and their unique bond. Despite the playful nature of their on-screen and off-screen relationship, it is clear that their friendship runs deep.
Their playful antics on and off-camera have garnered attention, not just from fans, but also from the realm of entertainment news, often featuring in celebrity gossip. The close bond between Delioglan and Demiroz, akin to celebrities who share an undeniable screen chemistry, captivates audiences beyond the series "Under Us."
