Having portrayed his leading role in the Starz hit series for over a decade, the Scottish actor, 44, has become a sensation across the globe among fans.
Sam Heughan candidly opened up to fans.
Outlander star Sam Heughan, who plays the role of Jamie Fraser, has confessed to living in fear of accidentally spilling the beans on the time-travelling finale.
Having portrayed his leading role in the Starz hit series for over a decade, the Scottish actor, 44, has become a sensation across the globe among fans alongside co-star Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser), reports The Daily Record.
With the final series air date yet to be announced, the ending remains a tightly guarded secret, leaving fans eagerly waiting to see what will happen next.
Sam admitted he worries he will let something slip about the series.
In an interview with The Scotsman, he revealed: “I do sometimes think oh god, am I going to say something?” The publication featured Heughan as one of its top Scots to commemorate Burns Night, during which he also playfully likened his sporran to Mary Poppins’ magical bag, given its astonishing array of contents.
Often seen proudly sporting his kilt and sporran, Heughan was asked to divulge the secrets within, initially downplaying it as “the usual” before rattling off an impressive list.
“Lip balm, iPhone, protein bar, sides to the scene [notes for filming], hip flask, eye drops, compass, deck of cards, sunglasses, various Scottish stones and small mementos I’ve pilfered from set,” he explained.
He quipped, “It’s like the Mary Poppins bag, or the Tardis.” A sporran, typically crafted from leather or fur, is a pouch worn at the front of a kilt, a quintessential part of Highland dress, serving as a wallet or container, as kilts lack pockets.
According to tradition, true Scotsmen should wear nothing under their kilts. Heughan has previously expressed his fondness for kilts, revealing he owns one for every day of the week.In a past interview, he confessed: “Yes kilts, I’ve got a fair few. One for every day of the week probably. And one for each day, in between.”
Heughan added: “I’ve got a lot of kilts, whether it’s for a special occasion or sitting down reading my book it certainly does help if you’re wearing a kilt whilst reading my book.”
Reflecting on his Outlander experience, he noted: “You do have to learn how to wear a kilt, and it’s certainly very liberating and very freeing, but surprisingly very comfortable, to ride a horse in a kilt. I was surprised by that.”
