[edit] Early life
Hassan was born in London, England into a Turkish Cypriot family.[4] Having sustained an injury in boxing, Hassan started to run nightclubs and restaurants and is now the owner, chairman and player/coach of Greenwich Borough and is also a big fan of Millwall.[5] He also runs Eltham Boxing Gym, but he later moved into acting. Hassan also plays for Tamber, a small club in London. In his younger days he helped out at his family's kebab shop in Bermondsey. However he later quit this job, largely because he was often abused by drunken punters, who would constantly ridicule him for his mono-brow. It was this stint in the family business which earned him the nicknames "Mono-Brow Mug" and "the Bermondsey Mono". He stated in his biography that these cutting insults left him angry and disillusioned with the world, and it was this rage that inspired him to embark upon an Amateur Boxing career. His record stood at a respectable 25-7, in which he was only ko'd once, whilst scoring 15KO's in the process.
[edit] Acting career
Hassan started acting in roles in television before playing a minor role in the comedy The Calcium Kid.[6] He later was cast in the role of the leader of a fictional football firm in The Football Factory. Further collaboration with Nick Love led to a lead role in The Business.
Hassan has also had a number of minor roles in other films, such as The Ferryman, Batman Begins, Cass and Eastern Promises.
He is set to star in the upcoming Charlie Creed Miles film, New Beginnings.[citation needed]. 2011 sees him starring in British film noir Jack Falls as a shady police boss.
