Outlander’s Sam Heughan’s perfect response when Caitriona Balfe said she was ‘terrified’
Catiriona Balfe has been playing Clare Fraser on Outlander for almost ten years.
In season 8, Balfe will use her skills outside of her normal role and direct an episode of the last season of the popular show.
Balfe talked about her first job as a director on Good Morning America.
"I'm very happy, and I feel very lucky to be given this chance on the show. Balfe said, "It just seemed like the right place to try something new."
She said, referring to co-star Sam Heughan, "I've already done a little bit of second-unit work
this season and had the chance to direct Sophie Skelton and John Bell, but not this man."
"Balfe also recently spoke on a panel at ATX. One of the things they talked about was his first movie as a director.
When asked how she felt about directing Heughan, Balfe laughed and replied, "Terrified."
The next day, when they were on GMA, Heughan joked to Balfe about the possibility of her directing him: "Just to let you know, I do everything in one take."
Both Heughan and Balfe talked about the second part of Season 7, which will start airing in early 2024.
