Nejdet Adamson, known for his role as Ali Osman in EastEnders, made a remarkable transition to Hollywood, landing a role in the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
True EastEnders fans will always remember Ali Osman. Nejdet Adamson , who was part of the iconic original lineup of the beloved British soap, took on the role and became a familiar face in Walford over 35 years ago before he dashed off to pursue his Hollywood dreams.
Post-EastEnders life saw Nejdet embracing a remarkable shift from Walford to Hollywood, scooping up a part as a short sailor in the blockbuster hits Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and its sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006). During his stretch in Albert Square, Ali navigated through harrowing plots involving marital breakdowns, grief over losing a child, and a troubling gambling addiction - his character echoing the everyday Londoner. No one could have predicted that the actor behind the down-to-earth local of Albert Square would switch to swashbuckling on the high seas as a pirate in a massive movie franchise, reports MyLondon. The transformation is incredibly surprising, especially with whispers that the now 66 year old star had faced tough times securing acting gigs post-EastEnders. He hasn't shied away from discussing his professional challenges, admitting on the soaps 25th anniversary back in 2010: 'I have had to live with Ali for 25 years. I'm just trying to get on with my life.' Keeping a low profile, he added: 'I don't give interviews. I am still acting but it is hard when everyone I'm still Ali from the cafe.' Nej revealed that he's been typecast due to his role in EastEnders. Despite the challenges, he bagged a role in Pirates of the Caribbean, sharing screen space with big names like Johnny Depp and Kiera Knightly. Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl raked in an impressive 654.3 million USD, while its sequel, Dead Man's Chest, grossed a worldwide total of $1.066 billion. After his EastEnders exit, he scored a role in Carry On Columbus as Fayid, sharing the limelight with comedy legend Rik Mayal
