Here is a NEW Interview with Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan from Entertainment Weekly
Outlander Season 3 (screen grab) CR: Starz
From EW:
That’s a wrap! Commence the tears.
Sunday’s episode of Outlander marked the season ender to the Starz drama — and boy, was it a wet and wild one! I talked to Sam Heughan (Jamie) and Caitriona Bale (Claire) one last time about shooting the season 3 finale, and how they managed to do those underwater scenes without drowning.
More after the jump!
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let’s start with those underwater scenes. How did you shoot those? Did you have to hold your breath forever?
CAITRIONA BALFE: We had this really cool water tank at the back of the Cape Town Studios in South Africa. Sam and I had done some underwater scuba training so we could stay underwater, and they would just come and feed us oxygen every 30, 40 seconds.
SAM HEUGHAN: She was very good at that. She was like a mermaid. She has done scuba diving before. I’ve never done it.
BALFE: It was fun. Things like that are always really exciting, and to sort of learn something new … It was quite cool until Sam rammed my face into a big chunk of wood.
Loved the interview and the many situations the actors had to go through to do their parts. Now, not only are they brilliant actors, but scuba divers as well! Season 3 ended awesomely – it was worth every minute. It is hard to believe that is finished – until Season 4. I am starting to miss all the actors already – I hope the DVD/Blu-Ray comes out very soon – I’ll be the first in line to buy it. The interview showed how practical the actors are and how they all got along so well with each other and complemented other actors they worked with.
I absolutely loved this episode and can actually say that it will be viewed several times. It is so hard to believe that this season has ended, I remember anxiously awaiting the premier of season 3 episode 1, so today I awake feeling sad. I ken I will fill my future days rewatching seasons 1,2,3. I know it is human nature to compare the books with the tv program, I have done it, however I remember the intro ” based on”. The writers are terrific as are the actors, cast and crew. Bring on season 4 and I pray that we will hear very soon that season 5 is in the works ❤️ I am obsessed with Outlander, all cast especially SAM HEUGHAN/Cait Balfe 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Caitriona was great and I must add that David Berry was also great. The more I see of him, the more I like him. He’s a fantastic actor. He’s a natural. We can read in his eyes what’s going through his mind.
