New picture and interview of Caitriona Balfe with The Evening Standard
From The Evening Standard:
Outlander is Balfe’s first major role after a hugely successful decade-long modelling career which saw her work with Chanel, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, Oscar de la Renta and Louis Vuitton. She even walked in a Victoria’s Secret show.
Originally from Co Monaghan in Ireland, she was in her first year of studying theatre in Dublin when she was scouted by a model agent and offered the chance to move to Paris, “which seemed like a pretty good idea” — but it wasn’t her passion. “I had a good few years where it was a lot of fun, I met some incredible people and you get to work with some great artists and everything. But I sort of fell into it.”
In a turn that is about as far from Outlander as possible, she will next be seen in Money Monster, Jodie Foster’s financial-crash drama that comes out in May and stars George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jack O’Connell. Balfe says she plays “a chief communications office in a high-frequency trading firm” and begins outlining the plot with a fluency that suggests she submerged herself in research about the 2008 crash as thoroughly as she did with Second World War frontline nursing.
