"I want to distance myself as much as I can from Love Island"

She might have won the reality TV show but Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu says she wants to "distance herself" as much as she can from Love Island. She has here eyes set on the big screen and is putting all of her focus into being a successful actress. Ekin-Su also says the new wave of Love Island stars doesn't bother her at all. In an interview with Women's Health she said: "They always say: ‘There’s a new Love Island, there’s this, there’s that, you’ll be forgotten.’ "But that doesn’t bother me because of who I am. I know what I’m going to do in life and I know my dream. "Acting in films, playing roles and quirky characters, something that would make you think: ‘Oh, Ekin is not this,’ but then I smash it." Ekin appeared in a Turkish soap before she entered the Love Island villa and said she'll continue to pursue a good acting career. She said: "That’s when I start looking for an acting agency, putting myself out, you know, try to distance myself as much as I can from the Love Island scene and, yeah, be my own person." The actress also insisted there's no difference between the person we saw on Love Island and who she is in real life. She said: "So, I think I’m always the same. "Confidence-wise, if something p**ses me off, unfortunately, even in this society, where sometimes it’s good to be quiet, I will say it. "I was the same on Love Island. If I didn’t agree with something, I would have my opinion and I’m still like that. "The only thing that has changed is I probably don’t let things bother me as much." We can't wait to see more of Ekin-Su on our television screens, we know she'll absolutely smash the acting scene.
