At the age of 14, he appeared in Okan Uysaler's series Geçmiş Bahar Mimozaları with actors such as Rutkay Aziz, Filiz Akın and Müşfik Kenter. After graduating from the Italian High School, he entered the Marmara University Communication Faculty and graduated with honors. Günsür gave concerts with a music group and ran a restaurant for four years. With a friend's help, he auditioned for a role in the movie Hamam. After the trial shot, he was accepted for the role and the film was directed by Ferzan Özpetek. After this film, he decided to turn to acting.
