EXCLUSIVE: How the SAG-AFTRA strikes hampered my Hollywood dreams: Love Island’s Ekin-Su Culculoglu reveals how ‘another door opened’ for her US career<\/h1>\n

Ekin-Su Culculoglu has revealed her Hollywood dreams have been hampered by the actors’ strike, which began at the start of summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Essex-based actress, 29, rose to fame after winning Love Island in 2022 with boyfriend\u00a0Davide Sanclimenti, but previously appeared in a Turkish soap opera.<\/p>\n

During an exclusive interview with MailOnline, following her partnership with beauty brand BPerfect Cosmetics, Ekin-Su spoke about perusing her ‘acting dream’ in the USA, but has been forced to put her plans on hold.<\/p>\n

She explained:\u00a0‘I did want to go to LA this gone summer, but I didn’t do that because of the strikes and there’s always been something coming up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I definitely would love to move there if there was a continuous job. It’s a dream of mine.’<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: Ekin-Su Culculoglu has revealed her Hollywood dreams have been hampered by the ongoing actors’ strike<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Plans: During an exclusive interview with MailOnline, following her partnership with beauty brand BPerfect Cosmetics, Ekin-Su spoke about perusing her ‘acting dream’ in the USA, but has been forced to put her plans on hold<\/p>\n

‘That hasn’t worked out yet, but something else came up and another door opened for America, which was a TV show we just filmed,\u00a0The Traitors\u00a0US. It was really good made friends with everyone on there and it’s going to be great.<\/p>\n

‘I’m hoping that will open some doors in the US and target a brand-new audience, because I just feel like my I’m rooting for the USA and I won’t let that go because there is so much opportunity over there.’<\/p>\n

As well as her soap opera work and Love Island, Ekin-Su also had a spin-off show with her beau Davide as they travelled around Italy and Turkey in a two part special. She later appeared on Dancing On Ice.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood actors’ strike which threatened to throw the studios into chaos may finally be over after 118 days, it was confirmed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Union SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative agreement for a new three-year deal with studios.<\/p>\n

Two weeks of intense negotiation between the performers’ union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers appears to have produced a break-through in the long-running dispute.<\/p>\n

The deal still needs to be ratified by union members but would bring to an end a summer of industrial action which also saw Hollywood writers strike for nearly five months.<\/p>\n

Strikes began on July 14 with actors highlighting a number of issues including pay and the use of artificial intelligence at the heart of the talks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Career: The Essex-based actress, 29, rose to fame after winning Love Island in 2022 with boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti , but previously appeared in a Turkish soap opera<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sexy: In 2020, two years before entering the villa, Ekin-Su landed a role in the Turkish soap opera Kuzey Yildizi as a photographer from London<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Work: Ekin-Su also appeared on Dancing On Ice<\/p>\n

Since leaving the Love Island villa with boyfriend Davide, Ekin-Su has been focusing on her career and became a brand ambassador for BPerfect in October last year.<\/p>\n

The influencer visited the BPerfect store in Glasgow ‘s Enoch Shopping Centre on Saturday November 4.<\/p>\n

Speaking on meeting her fans, she said: ‘It just feels like seeing friends. I mean, it doesn’t even feel like I’m a celebrity and they’re a fan.<\/p>\n

‘It’s like they almost connect with me and know me sort of in a personal level that I can sort of connect with them as well.<\/p>\n

‘People don’t relate to me as a Love Islander anymore, which is lovely. It’s almost like they appreciate me for the work I put in, and you know the products and they relate to me.’<\/p>\n

When asked about being a role model to her younger fans, Ekin-Su said: ‘I try and be as real as I can with these people because I don’t think there’s a perfect role model.<\/p>\n

‘I think humans are prone to make mistakes and humans aren’t, you know, perfect for everything. And I think a role model for me is someone who is not always perfect, but themselves.<\/p>\n

When asked about being a role model to her younger fans, Ekin-Su said: ‘I try and be as real as I can with these people because I don’t think there’s a perfect role model’<\/p>\n

‘Even with the appearance, there’s no sort of perfect, beautiful person. No, that’s not real. Do you know what I mean? I think that for me is being a role model.’<\/p>\n

Speaking about being ‘real’ on social media, Ekin-Su added: ‘I mean, as much as I can, you know, I would love to day to day record every single moment of my life, I think.<\/p>\n

‘But bearing in mind, social media is toxic and this is probably why I don’t use it as much. You can get kind of hooked into the influencer world and it’s fake and I prefer to live in the moment.<\/p>\n

‘So, when I use my products I kind of keep it real and do like a get ready with me and and I use the products and tell them what I’ve actually done in the morning and what I’m doing later on. It’s not fake and you know, it’s quite authentic.’<\/p>\n
