According to a recent report, it has been suggested that Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen may have a chance to appear in Turkish cinema following a light-hearted interaction with the well-known Turkish actor and director Şahan Gökbakar.
The Galatasaray striker met with Gökbakar, who is famous for his Recep İvedik film series. During their encounter, Osimhen inquired if he could be given an opportunity in front of the camera. “Are you going to give me roles in movies?” he asked the actor.
Gökbakar replied positively, telling the forward, “Of course.” He later sparked speculation by posting on social media, indicating that Osimhen had shown interest in acting.
”Osi Baba wanted a role in movies. Shall we make a surprise at Recep 8?” the actor wrote.
The post elicited responses online, including from Turkish pop singer Simge Sağın, who commended Osimhen’s character. She remarked that he was “an incredibly good man” and wished him ongoing happiness.

Osimhen has already dabbled in acting, having recently featured in the “Drawing” commercial.
His potential transition into entertainment would enhance his profile as a player.
The striker is adapting to life in Turkey after making his first appearance of the new season for Galatasaray. He came on as a second-half substitute during the champions’ 3-0 win over Fatih Karagümrük at Rams Park on Saturday, although he did not score.
The victory ensured Galatasaray kept their flawless start to the Super Lig season and ascended to the top of the standings. Osimhen, who was last season’s top scorer, is anticipated to play a crucial role as the Istanbul giants aim to defend their title.
