Can Yaman was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey. Can’s father Güven and mother Güldem divorced when he was five years old. From an early age, his grandmothers were actively involved in his upbringing and care due to his parents’ financial difficulties, which were also the reason why his education was mostly covered by scholarships. Can attended Bilfen College during primary and middle school and then studied at the Liceo Italiano di Istanbul, where he graduated with the highest grade since the school was established. In 2012, he graduated from Yeditepe University Law School and started working at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he met his future law firm partners. When he was 24, he worked in mergers and acquisitions and wrote articles for the tax section of Dünya newspaper. While he worked in the field of corporate law, he realized that the office life was not for him. During one of his summer holidays, Can traveled to Bodrum, where he met his managers and began his acting career. His first job in show business was the role of an unfaithful husband in the music video of the song “Porselen Dusler” by Gulnur Gokce. Although his first role in a TV series was in Affairs of the Heart (2014), his breakthrough acting role was in Full Moon (2017), which made him internationally well known. The international success of the TV series, in which he starred, led him to continue his career in Italy. In addition to his work as an actor, he is the face of various Italian and Turkish brands and dedicates his time to the charity association Can Yaman for Children.
