Turkish model and actor, Berk Oktay, has revealed the surprising cause behind his rapid weight gain, sparking a flurry of discussions on social media. Working on the upcoming TV series, "Harman Yeri," Berk assumed the role of a wrestler, necessitating a drastic physical transformation.
Alongside gaining over 20 kilograms in just two months, this transformation also meant grueling training sessions, resulting in multiple injuries during filming. Determined to portray the character effectively, Berk shedded 12 kilograms and continues working to lose the final 8. He found the entire process incredibly rewarding, enabling a powerful interpretation of the character[1][2].

The popular star has also mentioned his natural tan, a topic often discussed by social media followers. Following Oktay's Instagram post, fans jokingly suggested he embark on a diet. Another commented, "It's hard to recognize my brother, yet it fits perfectly."
Many actors from around the world make significant body transformations to suit their roles, with Hollywood stars like Mark Wahlberg, Rob McElhenney, Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, and more adopting this approach[1]. On the flip side, some actors must adhere to strict diets and lose weight for specific roles, as seen with Henry Cavill for Superman, Kumail Nanjiani for Marvel's Eternals, and Emily Blunt for Edge of Tomorrow, among others.
