Childhood and youth
Murat was born in the town of Konya, located in the central part of Turkish Anatolia. Mom worked as a translator from Arabic. His father, a native of Syria, taught literature and drama at a local educational institution. The screen star has two sisters, and his colleague Kaan Yildirim is not his brother.

After school, the young man, who showed talent in mathematics, entered the Istanbul Star Technical University, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. But during his student years, Yildirim was attracted to the stage. He began playing in amateur theater and later took vocal and percussion lessons.
After completing acting courses, Murat performed at the Istanbul Drama Theater for 3 years. There, one of the screenwriters noticed him and recommended him to the production center. Soon the young artist received his first role in the series. Thus began the cinematic biography of Murat Yildirim.
Engineer turned actor
Before “riveting” so many roles in Turkish cinema, you need to have not only talent, but also listen to your heart, have great patience, and be able to reveal your abilities. And although Murat was born on April 13, 1979 in a family that directly encouraged creativity, where the road was only one way, he did not immediately become a professional actor.
Young mathematician
True, neither his father, who taught literature and stagecraft in Konya, nor his mother, a translator from Arabic, ever put pressure on the boy, like his sisters. That is why the family of real “lyricists” has its own “physicist”. Or rather, a mathematician. For a young man who graduated from school, his passion for exact sciences was so strong that it led him to the Istanbul Technical University, where he mastered the specialty of mechanical engineer with enviable methodicality. At the same time, Murat attended student theater classes, where he performed roles in amateur performances, and later attended drama school. This was the first acquaintance with my future profession.
In addition to acting, the hero of our story has mastered the profession of a fashion model. Clothing and accessories from Murat Yildirim are popular with the public.
Movies
Yildirim’s debut work was the melodrama “Immortal Love.” Afterwards, the actor was invited to the social film “My Family”, the psychological drama “Big Lie” and the comedy “Magic Carpet Ride”.
Murat's first major role came in 2006 in the horror film Purgatory, which was about a girl experiencing remorse after an abortion.
At the same time, he starred in the romantic film “The Storm,” which was awarded the honorary “Golden Orange” award.

Soon another popular film appeared in the artist’s filmography - the melodrama “Asi”. The series, presented at the Monte Carlo Film Festival, told the story of the confrontation between two families, whose children, Asi and Demir, fell in love with each other. The beloved of the hero Murat was played by Tuba Buyukustun.
The following projects confirmed Yildirim's talent. In the action film “Love and Punishment”, the thriller “Silence” and the melodrama “The Pain of Autumn”, the young man received key images, and the cast was selected to suit him. Murat also appeared in the top-rated comedy “Where Are You, Love” about two lovers who just can’t decide to get married.

In 2014, the heavy psychological film “Crimean. Terrible Years”, based on the autobiographical novel of a Crimean Turk who went through concentration camps. It is also worth noting the youth comedy melodrama “Speak Like Your Husband” and the action-packed film “Queen of the Night” with the participation of Ugur Polat and Meryem Uzerli.
In 2020, Murat Yildirim starred in the war drama “Ayla: Daughter of War” about a Turkish officer who participated in the Korean War on the side of UN troops. The film became the leader at the national box office, grossing $12 million in three months, and was on the long list for the 2018 Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category.
Yildirim also appeared in the leading role in the comedy “First Kiss”, in which he played together with Ozge Gurel. Murat played the main character, a charming surgeon, in the melodrama “Endless Love.” His partner was Fakhriye Evcen.
Career and film roles
Murat played on stage for several years until representatives of the film industry noticed him in 2003. He was offered a small but very important role for the career of an aspiring movie star in the film “Immortal Love.” The actor, without hesitation, immediately agreed.
This role opened the way for him to a further career in cinema..
- In 2004, he received his first big role in the TV series “My Family.” The role he gets is unusual: he plays a man who is married to a girl by the will of his parents, and not of his own free will. Most of Turkey's traditions are shown in this series.
- In the same year, the film “Big Lie” was released, telling about the difficult life of girls in Turkey.
- In 2005, he was invited to star in the film “Magic Carpet Ride.”
But his greatest fame comes from the film “The Tempest,” filmed in 2006.
In this film, he plays the role of a young guy who fights for the heart of his beloved named Zeynep. In 2006, he received a new role in the drama Purgatory. For this work, the actor is awarded the prestigious Golden Orange award . The film is about a girl who had an abortion and lost her mind as a result of this act. The woman began to develop a mental illness - it always seemed to her that the dead child was haunting her and wanted to kill her.
Two years later, a film called “Asi” appeared, which was recognized as the best series about the romantic feelings of a man and a woman. This series tells about the love of two young people (Asi and Demir), who, despite all life's difficulties, overcome them together.
Personal life
On the set of the comedy “The Storm,” Murat became close to his colleague Burcin Terzioglu. In 2008, the actors became husband and wife.
The marriage was not cloudless. Rumors spread that Yildirim got married under pressure from the girl’s family. The conversations were aggravated by the fact that Burchin, in 6 years of marriage, never appeared at the house of her husband’s parents.
Journalists found out that Murat repeatedly filed for divorce, but the influential Terzioglu family, with the help of expensive lawyers, contributed to the fact that the divorce was denied over and over again. Only in 2014 the couple officially divorced.

Yildirim did not enjoy his free personal life for long, as he soon became interested in Iman Albani, “Miss Morocco” and winner of the silver crown of the “Miss Arab World” competition.
The girl lived in London, starred in commercials and Egyptian TV series. Her father is an oil magnate, so wooing the beauty turned out to be difficult. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan contributed to the union of two hearts, who personally asked for Iman’s hand in marriage for a Turkish citizen.
In December 2016, the lovers celebrated their wedding in the best Arab and European traditions. Murat later published a kind of report on his Instagram page. Of course, the couple thought about children. Only relatives found out about Albani’s pregnancy. But the dream of expanding the family was not destined to come true: in August 2019, Iman lost her child.

“All is the will of Allah” - this was the commentary of the failed father. Murat has believed in the Almighty since childhood, reads the Koran, and has performed the Hajj. However, he does not like to talk about religion, as well as about politics.
Yildirim is the type of man who cares about his own appearance, and photos on the Internet are proof. He doesn't go on diets to stay slim, but is careful about what he eats. His morning begins with a cup of coffee and 40 repetitions of the phrase that the day will go well. Murat excluded foods containing carbohydrates from his diet - bread, rice, and gave up salt and sweets. The actor keeps in shape with the help of Thai boxing.

Personal life of Murat Yildirim
Like many stars, Murat’s personal life has not yet worked out. Rumor has it that he had an affair with actress Burcin Terzioglu (born March 9, 1980), whom he met on the set of the film “The Tempest” in 2006. The couple dated for a long time (about two years), and then in 2008 they decided to legalize their relationship. The wedding was magnificent and solemn, in the best Turkish traditions.

But the actor did not like their love; it suffocated him and did not allow him to live freely. But Murat’s parents, on the contrary, could not stand their daughter-in-law and did not even allow her onto the threshold of their house.

According to some sources, after two years of marriage, the actor happily answered questions from journalists about the future child, that he was waiting for changes and by the end of the year everything would change and he would become a happy parent. But everything went wrong and a crack appeared in their relationship. As for the children, the topic was closed, and the couple began to spend time separately from each other. There are rumors that in the summer of 2014, the Turkish star couple officially broke up. The couple lived together for only 6 years.
Yildirim really does not like to discuss his wife Burcin with journalists, because for him this is a very sore subject. But many say that it was the star’s parents, who hated their young daughter-in-law, that caused their divorce.
