Wow, I knew this but hesitated to post because in the last picture he tends to look more European. His eyes in the first picture reminded me of Near Eastern people.
He's a mixture, and it shows, I think, even as he gets older. His eyes are extraordinary (and yes, Near Eastern), but mouth, nose, hair, eyebrows, body, are all near perfection too imo. His only flaw might be his jaw and the modeling agency obviously taught him to cover it with a beard.
When he narrows his eyes or he is less tan and his hair is a bit lighter he looks more European, I think.
Some of that is probably make-up, I would think, as well as intense training. Some men just muscle up more quickly and more than other men, and it never really totally disappears.
Turkey uses the old 30s and 40s system when it comes to actors. They pick for looks and then see if they can teach them to act. With certain ethnicities, which have easy access to their emotions, it can work quite well. In the British and American system today they mostly look for good actors, and then try through plastic surgery, make-up etc. to make them look decent. I learned English watching old movies, and that's probably the reason I prefer the old Hollywood and Turkish approach. I realize it's very shallow of me, but I can look at plain and even ugly people all day; I prefer to see attractive people on screen, at least for what are billed as romances and dramas.
@Carlos,
Sorry, Carlos, tastes differ obviously. I prefer dark men with beautiful eyes and muscular bodies.
However, even if those men might tick some of those boxes, they are pretty close to being ugly in my eyes. The combination of features matter. There's just no comparison.
