Early life

Born to father Mensur Kurić from Niš whose family traces its origins to Donji Vakuf in Bosnia and Herzegovina and mother Nada Wasche from Sarajevo, Irfan grew up in Sarajevo's Dolac Malta neighbourhood.[1][2] At the age of 15, as a result of his parents divorcing, young Irfan moved with his father to Niš.

In Niš, Irfan's father married actress Miroslava "Mima" Vuković [sr], so Irfan spent part of his teenage years with a stepmother.[1]

Encouraged by his stepmother, young Irfan pursued performing arts and successfully passed the audition to enroll at the Academy of Theatre, Film, Radio and Television in Belgrade.[1] Soon after moving to Belgrade, he legally changed his last name to Mensur in honour of his father.[1]

Personal life

In 1976, at the height of his Beach Guard in Winter popularity in Yugoslavia, twenty-four-year-old Mensur married the twenty-three-year-old Trebinje-born model Ljiljana Perović who had, much like him, also spent her childhood in Sarajevo before ending up in Belgrade in pursuit of a show business career.[3] The couple had a son, Filip, in 1983 before divorcing in 1984.[3]

In 1995, Mensur married Srna Lango who, like Mensur, already had a son from a previous marriage.[4] Their son Pavle [sr] was born in 1999.[4] In December 2010, Irfan and Srna appeared as contestants in popular reality show Parovi on the Serbian TV station Happy TV. The couple divorced in 2012.[4]

In April 2013, sixty-one-year-old Mensur suffered a heart attack while preparing a play at the Zoran Radmilović Theater in Zaječar.[5][6][7] He was immediately rushed to a cardiovascular clinic in Belgrade where a triple bypass surgery was performed.[7]
