Outlander: Sam Heughan Facebook Q&A Today!

Sam Heughan did a frantic Facebook Q&A this afternoon. So you don’t have to wade through the thousands of questions, here are the ones he answered!

Q Have you done any screen tests with possible Brees or Rogers?
A Not yet but do know a few actors who are auditioning! Exciting times!

Q How did you mentally prepare for the Wentworth scenes?
A Great writing and challenging stuff, hope you “enjoy”…

Q WILL YOU MARRY ME!!??? (p.s. don’t tell my husband…)
A YES to all

Q Boxers or briefs?
A Neither.

Q What is the one question you inwardly cringe at when asked over and over?  I bet it’s “what do you wear under the kilt?”
A Exactly… Leave it to the imagination..?

Q How do you feel about the gross comments you constantly end up with? A.k.a. the really graphic inappropriate ones from older women who should know better.
A Diana knows EXACTLY what she’s saying. I love it.

Q Can you pass along a suggestion to the Starz team? Forget the opening credits; how about every episode opens with Jamie kilting up, as in The Reckoning?? Just sayin…
A Haha will do….

Q Have you read book 2 (Dragonfly in Amber) yet?
A Better question would be how MANY times?! Yes! –

Q Since you’ve already been Batman and worked with Roger Moore, would you ever like to play James Bond???

Q Can’t wait to see you at the NYC premier. Thanks for bringing our beloved Jamie to life. Great job to the entire cast!!

Q Sam, I am old enough to be your mum but my heart speeds up when I watch you. Great job filling Jamie’s big shoes!
A Mm thank you!

Q Why did they change Jamie’s Fraser Tartan? I was skeptical that anyone could pull off Jamie onscreen, but you have managed it.
