lol he's not gay

Google says otherwise.

He was out while in drama school, then went back in once he realized he had a shot beyond theater. His male companion lives with him/travels with him. Lots of evidence on social media (though he keeps his SM free of references).

Google said it so it must be true. Lol.

He has said he’s not gay but doesn’t care if people think that he is. That carries more weight with me than stupid gossip.

What do you expect him to say? He’s vying for the James Bond gig.

Its not blind gossip. There are pics with him and his longtime partner. And the articles I’ve read online made it seem like his agent made him scrub the internet to prior references since had been openly out during drama school.

Do you have a link?

Is your google broken?

NP. If you are going to make the claim then you need to back it up. Otherwise, it’s filed under BS.

He seems like a really decent human being IRL, so it’s hard for me to dislike him. I think he’s perfect as Jamie but agree that he’s not a great actor otherwise.

I have never seen him in other roles. I think he's nice looking for Jamie and has a great body and is steamy in the role. For some reason I don't think he's hot and I don't find him appealing or movie star attractive. I have no idea why. As for gay or not, I don't know and don't care. It does not impact me in the least bit. He seems like a really nice guy, so I do hope he finds success once Outlander is finished.

Then why not deviate from the crummy books and make it interesting?

The series has deviated from the books, both in small and big ways. In the books, Murtagh dies during the Battle of Culloden. His character is alive and well in the series, which alters the storyline drastically. I enjoy the surprises. Otherwise, it’s all too predictable.

I enjoyed the books (although they are so long!), and will continue to watch the series. They’re under contract for a 6th season, so there will be one more after series 5 which premieres next weekend.

I wish they would write out Brianna. The actress who plays her is terrible.

In other Outlander news, Catriona Balfe landed on the Daily Mail’s worst dressed list for her gown at the oscars tonight. I thought she looked great—very classic/elegant with a fashion forward twist.

I hate to agree but yes. She comes off really b!tchy and-sorry, but Jamie is way prettier than her and she doesn't look like him- as she is supposed to in the books. It would not have been hard to cast for a better physical fit, alone, and one with a different demeanor.

People hate Tom Brady for lots of legit reasons:

He looks like Frankenstein.

He cheated on his pregnant GF to woo Giselle...and Giselle is a terrible know it all.

He’s a trumpster.

Like Heughan, he has a receding hairline.

Heughan can’t act. Have you seen him in other films? No bueno. And, he’s just not leading man handsome unless he’s playing Jamie from early seasons (with the wigs, the chivalrous and shirtless sex appeal, etc.).

I can't believe I'm correcting THIS, of all things, I don't know about the other things mentioned, but they were already broken up (and yes he was dating Gisele) when she found out she was pregnant. Giselle and Bridget have both confirmed/written about this.

I don't like the actress who plays Brianna either. It's been awhile since I read the books, but I recall the character as being much more likable in the books.

Yes, the girl playing Brianna is an atrocious actress. She pretty much ruined the series for me once she came along. I tolerate her because I'm interested in the main storyline but she truly is awful.

I just think she’s not a physical fit for the role. In the book she intimidates people because she is so much taller than everyone around her (excepting Jamie). And she has flaming red hair; she instantly sticks out wherever she goes. People react to her a certain way because of her size and looks- that can’t happen in the series, where she is pretty but average.

Following up- I think they made her bitchier in the series so that she could still be intimidating in some way.

Why wouldn't they at least have Brianna's hair be red/redder? Her likeness to (and connection with) Jamie was so key in the books. And so lost in the show.

Anyone else watch outlander season 5/episode 1 yet? It dropped yesterday on the STARZ app...and it was so boring.

My issues is more her lack of chemistry with the horrible actor who plays Roger. I thought Roger was supposed to be really hot. Not as hot as Jamie, but still hot. Not this dude.

Any comments on the new season?

Agree that the first episode was boring?
