alumnus, 42, has hinted at a major change ahead for his character.
Season six ended on a cliffhanger, with Jamie’s wife, Claire Fraser played by Caitriona Balfe, being wrongly imprisoned. Heughan said his character who in previous seasons ‘wouldn’t think twice’ about getting into a fight is more fragile now and couldn’t live without wife Claire.He said: “I think stoics obviously Jamie’s fortitude and his natural place, he’s a very strong man and strong in the face of adversity.
“But also this is a relationship, they’ve been together a long time, they know each other so well and the fact that she keeps secrets from him, even this season, hides things from him is difficult.“In the old days, he was pretty tempestuous, pretty active man, wouldn’t think twice before punching someone or getting into battle.“He has a lot more to lose, he has his whole family now, his extended family.
