Sam Heughan shares fiery stories from behind the scenes of Outlander

Sam Heughan is the apple of any Outlander fan’s eye. We adore him, love him, and couldn’t imagine anyone better to play the role of Jamie Fraser.

Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing him as Jamie again for a while, since a new Droughtlander has just begun. While we wait, let’s let Sam Heughan take us behind the scenes of the show through a Twitter Q&A he did with W Network following the season 5 penultimate episode, “Journeycake,” starting with an intense moment that got a little too hot to handle:

Uh, Sam Heughan, let’s be a little careful playing with fire, alright? We need you in tip-top shape and, most importantly, safe!

But it is pretty cool that he was the one to light the cross. It was such an inspiring and profound moment for Jamie, and I’d imagine Sam Heughan lighting it himself brought a lot of raw emotion to the scene.

Playing with fire isn’t the only thing Heughan has to contend with while on Outlander. I mean, have you seen all those wigs?

In the ninth episode of season 5, “Monsters and Heroes”, Jamie is bitten in the leg by a poisonous snake. Fans were curious whether his mutilated leg was real or a prosthetic:

Last but not least, I’d be remiss not to mention Heughan’s favorite episode from the fifth season, which just so happens to be the one that broke all of our hearts.

Outlander season 5 was an incredible continuation of the story we love, and may have been my favorite season so far. The story has moved forward in a very profound way, and with all the wounds and scars this family is carrying, I can only imagine what season 6 has in store for them.
