I HAVE ALL PISCES' CHARACTERISTICS
Tarik is young, 28-years old man who lives alone, not married, full of dreams, ideals and imagination

Tarik Filipovic was in more than a hundred theatre plays, and he had his debut in Zenica in 1985. His theatre house is Kerempuh in Zagreb. Spikom na spiku, Pir malogradjana, Hamlet, Macak u vreci, Bure baruta, Izbacivaci and Ministrov sin are just few of the plays where Tarik had a role. And here is one little secret: Same year when he had made his debut in children's theatre, Tarik also had his first kiss.

We know about your virtues but what are your failures?

My virtue is that I am sincere to people. I'm a good person but I really think that when it comes to my virtues, other people should be talking. My failures are sensitivity, great sensibility...that should not be a failure, but in my case it's becoming a failure. We know how it works; you sink sooner or later because of that. In addition to this, I'm really stubborn person.

Do you use tactics often in your life?


My imagination works 24 hours a day and I live my whole life in accordance with feelings and intuition. I rarely use tactics. In fact, I really don't like using tactics, especially with people that mean something to me.

What thing bothers you most about other people?


The insincerity is the thing that bothers me the most. Especially when it comes to friendship. I cannot see the reason to be insincere. Your friend is the one who is aware of all your failures but still loves you. There is no reason for one to cover up his real personality, because if somebody cannot love him because of whom he is, than there is no need to love him anyway.

What do you think you are - an optimist or pessimist?

There is no middle in my life. As weel as with love, it's to the extreme or it doesn't exist. I'm an optimist, more or less. In the phase of optimism, I'm really positive and when I'm caught in pessimism phase than everything is three times darker than it is in reality.

What is the first thing that you notice on a woman?

I don't divide women by types; I have no exact type of women that I like. The first things that I notice are eyes and legs.

And what about the men?

Great shoes (laugh)! I immediately approach to him and ask him where did he buy them? The shoes are my real obsession!

If you were not an actor what would you be?

I would be in psychology probably. I can read people very clearly, my intuition is very rarely wrong. It happens very often that I have some kind of resistance about somebody, I don't like that person at all. Than everybody tells me that I'm wrong and that this person is OK, but at the end everything is just like I said it would be.

Are you familiar with fashion trends?

I have my own style with clothes, and it's almost the same as my life-style. There is not some kind of model and I do not change in the same time when fashion changes. I dress myself according to feeling, but I have to admit that my sister Emina has something with the defining of my taste.

Do you believe in horoscopes?


I have not believed but now I'm almost hooked on them. Simply, in some situations I saw that there is something in it. I'm Pisces and I definetly have all the characteristics of that sign.

What is the last thing that you dreamed off?


In the recent time I am occupied with journeys. The most exotic country that I visited was Kazakhstan. Since Zenica is twinned city with Kazakhstan, we went there with our theatre.

Are you romantic?

I am very romantic and I cannot hide that. Everybody cries but few of them want to admit that. For example, I was crying one month ago.

Ah, that love...

That love is short-term insanity with long-term consequences (laughs). That love is a very common idea. There is no more beautiful feeling than when a man is filled with emotions and when he is  positively crazy about love. Unfortunately when all of that stops, the consequences can be almost catastrophic. It is said that nobody died of love, but I think that is even possible (laughs).
