The latest image of İzzet Günay, the legendary figure of Yeşilçam, famously known as Halil from the classic movie 'Vesikalı Yarim', was shared by Gül Sunal, the wife of another iconic actor, Kemal Sunal. Let's take a moment together to catch a glimpse of this 90-year-old master's current state.
When we reminisce about the golden age of Yeşilçam, one of the first faces that springs to mind is İzzet Günay. İzzet Günay, with his character Halil in 'Vesikalı Yarim', where he shared the lead role with Türkan Şoray, his roles as the romantic and urban man in the 60s and 70s, and his image as a 'gentleman' and the quintessential man of the world, has been etched in our memories.
In his time, İzzet Günay stood out with his discipline on set and his demeanor, earning respect not only for his good looks, but also for being an actor who carried the 'Yeşilçam culture'. Having entered the film industry towards the end of the 50s, he spent many years in front of the camera.
However, he withdrew into his shell years ago and distanced himself from the profession.
With his fit and well-groomed appearance, Izzet Günay had elicited comments like 'He hasn't aged, he's just matured' even back then.
In fact, when these images surfaced, his enduring handsomeness was the talk of the town in all entertainment headlines. Izzet Günay, who has been out of the public eye for quite some time, was spotted in the early hours by none other than the wife of another legend, Gül Sunal, wife of Kemal Sunal.
Observing a significant weight loss in İzzet Günay compared to previous years, his recent appearance at the age of 90 has indeed prompted us to say 'Bless him, 41 times over'. Here's hoping we continue to see him this happy and energetic for many more years to come.
