Sam Heughan, star of Starz's Outlander, reveals the surprising contents of his sporran and discusses the weighty responsibility of knowing the series' finale.
Sam Heughan , best known for his role as Jamie Fraser in the hit Starz series Outlander , has confessed to feeling the weight of secrecy surrounding the show's finale. Having portrayed his iconic character for over a decade, the 44-year-old Scottish actor has garnered a global fan base alongside his co-star Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser).
As the second part of Outlander season seven unfolds, with the final series premiere date still under wraps, the ending remains tightly guarded, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. Heughan, the sole cast member privy to the conclusion, admits the responsibility is a heavy one, as reported by the Scottish Express. In an interview with The Scotsman, he revealed his anxieties: '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 playfully compared his sporran to Mary Poppins' magical bag, given its astonishing contents. Heughan, often seen proudly sporting his kilt and sporran, 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 , 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. Outlander season 7 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.
