His name is pronounced like the Italian name Gian or similarly to the English name John. It is a Turkish name meaning "life", "soul" or "spirit".

Sometimes people compared me to someone famous and I was flattered, but I thought to myself that, if I was ever going to be an actor, I did not want to look like anyone: I just wanted to be Can Yaman, myself, not a copy of someone else.

Every time I post a photo with a colleague or an actress, there are always many women ready to insult them. I only ask one thing of you: that you like each other a bit more.

[on the work of Can Yaman for Children association] My greatest dream? To see the children from the hospital being able to play again.

[on the importance of beauty in TV industry] There are people more beautiful than me, but if looks are not accompanied by other virtues such as tenacity, fighting spirit, discipline and determination, you will not get far. Beauty alone is not enough, nor is talent.

I get upset when something I say is twisted and presented without context so that people come to the wrong conclusion. I get stressed. I would be happy if I could express myself as I am.
