Happy birthday to Sam Heughan, who turns 40 years old today!!!

The actor has been receiving birthday wishes from fans, friends, and co-stars all day today, including one from Outlander‘s Caitriona Balfe.

Caitriona posted a birthday message, and included the two joke gifts she got him!

She tweeted, “Happy Birthday to this ridiculous human being. Hope you got the nose trimmer and Zimmer frame I sent you!!! Lots of love you’re tele-wifie @SamHeughan #Big4Oooh”

If you don’t know, a zimmer frame is known as a walker in the United States. Lol!

If you missed it, see the selfie Sam snapped that had fans talking!

Sam Heughan is showing fans some behind the scenes Outlander magic in the form of his body double for one particular scene.

A dummy Jamie, who was designed to resemble Sam, was created for a scene where he was poisoned.

Sam captioned the pic and wrote, “Jamie and errrrr… Jamie?”

Fans wrote comments like, “Oh you’ve ruined the illusion Sam. Life will never be the same,” and “Two Jamie’s are better than one.”

Sam Heughan recently had to speak out against online bullies attacking him for these reasons.

Caitriona Balfe is speaking out in support of Sam Heughan after he released an open letter to fans in which he addressed the bullying he’s been subjected to for six years.

The Outlander actor said that people have been making up false stories about him for years, including right now amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Make sure to read the full open letter that Sam released.

“Sad that Sam has had to come out and say all this. I would have thought mean bitchy behaviour would have been left in the school yard. But unfortunately a VERY SMALL but very vocal part of this fandom use their energy to write and say awful untrue things … maybe they should harness all that energy to get involved in their local charities,” Caitriona wrote on Twitter in response to the story.

She added, “And honestly it’s quite simple … If you don’t like us .. it’s a big beautiful world out there. Find something you do love and enjoy that. Life as it’s all too clear right now is short. Why waste it hating.”

Sam Heughan is speaking out in response to six years of the “constant bullying, harassment, stalking and false narrative” he has been subjected to at the hands of online bullies.

The 39-year-old Outlander actor is fed up with the false stories that have been made up about him and while he had hoped the bullies would “just go away,” he’s decided it’s time to address the harassment.

“Recently, these false claims vary from me manipulating fans, being a closet-homosexual, trying to mislead or exhort fans for money and disregarding Covid advice. I’ve done non of the above,” Sam said in a statement posted to Twitter.

Sam explained that he’s currently self-isolating in Hawaii as he was there before the travel ban and he’s too nervous to fly back home to the UK with everything going on, especially since he was recently sick for three months.

“These bullies have created a false narrative, shared private information and abused my loved ones and I, consistently for the last six years on blogs and SM. I will not entertain it anymore and am blocking anyone that writes anything defamatory or abusive. Sending items or stalking my private accommodation, they have harassed my work colleagues and constantly tried to hack our email and personal accounts. I’m so hurt by this,” Sam said.

Many celebs are issuing challenges during the coronavirus quarantine, and Sam Heughan has one that looks like it’s going to deliver hilarious results – the Highland Fling!

The 39-year-old Outlander star showed off his own version of the traditional Scottish dance on Instagram to fans, before issuing the challenge.

“Let’s see YOUR Highland Fling!? @outlander_starz,” he captioned. “Ouch….#stayhealthy.”

If you don’t know, the goal of the Highland Fling is to stay in the same spot throughout the dance, and most dancers wear a kilt.

We can’t wait to see the results of this challenge. Check out Sam‘s below!

The latest episode of Outlander featured a sex scene between Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) that was not well received by some fans, as well as the author of the original books, Diana Gabaldon.

The scene was a love scene in a stable and the author responded to a fan who seemed unhappy with the scene.

Diana responded, “Bad dialogue, bad direction, bad lighting, awkward set. Actors did their level best with what they were given to work with.”

She also clarified, “I thought the acting was really good–and both the earlier leadup to and the reconciliation after were both very good; the dialogue leading up to the actual sex and the staging of said sex left something to be desired.”

Then, when fans wondered if Diana hated the entire episode, she clarified she did not, she just did not enjoy that one, 45-second scene!

“Would y’all pay attention? (not meaning just you personally) I was referring explicitly to one 45-second scene, NOT the episode,” she added.

Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have amazing chemistry and they recently spoke about it!
