ALBAWABA - Barış Arduç shares musical admiration and reveals exciting new cinematic plans.

Barış Arduç has sparked excitement across the Arab world after a new interview with Blinks, where he discussed his artistic inspirations, his admiration for Arabic music, and the possibility of a cinematic collaboration with Tunisian star Dhafer L’Abidine.

The Turkish actor started by responding to a fan who said that his look in his most recent movie, Dehşet Bey, is similar to Taim Hassan's manner in one of his recent Syrian ventures. Arduç smiled at the suggestion and said he could see the resemblance, especially in the mustache and wardrobe choices.

The talk swiftly turned to language. Arduç said that he finds Arabic fascinating and pointed out that the word "yani" is used in both Arabic and Turkish. He said that it was one of the first shared words he learned.

When asked about Arabic music, Arduç’s face lit up. He quickly brought up Sherine Abdel Wahab and said her voice was "soothing, wonderful, and full of emotion." He also took out his phone during the interview and said that Sherine's songs are often on his playlist and show up a lot in his Instagram activity. “We listen to her a lot,” he said, praising the softness and rhythm of her vocals. His admiration for Sherine became one of the highlights of the interview.

Arduç also talked about performers he knows from the Arab world, such as Razane Jammal, with whom he performed a magazine photoshoot, and Dhafer L'Abidine, who has become a friend. He told me that Dhafer will soon have a photoshoot in Cappadocia and that they are working on an idea for a movie together. He stated, "We don't know when, but we're very excited," hinting at a collaboration among fans from many regions that is already getting a lot of attention.

The actor discussed the Middle East in a positive way and said he wanted to visit Jordan for the first time, even though he had already been to the UAE and Saudi Arabia. He mentioned that he had never tried camel meat but would love to do so when asked about Arabic food.

The Blinks interview displayed a more intimate and culturally curious side of Barış Arduç. Fans are excited about the possibility of a movie with Dhafer and any future relationship with Sherine.
