Bülent Ceylan’s father was a self-employed concrete mixer driver. In a crisis situation he could count on today’s comedian – even if only with a heavy heart.
Comedian Bülent Ceylan reported on how he gave up his savings as a teenager with a heavy heart to help his father in a crisis situation.
The 45-year-old told the radio Bremen talk show “3nach9” that he had previously deposited money into a savings account every month in order to enable the son to study and obtain a driver’s license later.
Then there was a lull in the construction industry and his father, a self-employed concrete mixer driver, urgently needed the money. “At that moment I was angry, I was also disappointed, I have to say, because I had so many goals and I imagined what I would do with this money, but of course I gave him the money,” said Ceylan visibly moved. Three years later, his father repaid him the 10,000 D-Mark.
Ceylan grew up in Mannheim’s Waldhof working-class district, and later became known throughout Germany as a comedian. After all, Ceylan reported that he was able to keep a promise and buy his parents his own apartment. Before his death, his father saw the shell of this apartment, and his mother lives there very happily today: “My mother always has the fruit basket full and doesn’t have to worry.” The full fruit basket has been a status symbol for her since she saw it as a child at work in German households.
