I had absolutely no idea what I was saying. But on the first day, I had a whole bunch of expositional dialogue. I think I watched a couple of episodes on the plane to actually know what I was stepping into. Did you binge as well?ĭB: I prepared for it by getting on a flight and walking on set, I had absolutely no preparation at all because I was cast quite late. When you got this role, what did you do to prepare for it? Sophie told me she binged a lot of episodes to prepare for it. RG: I tried! Well, I think we got our answer. WAIT until you see this one….□□ /S2JGtZIMlL And I’m wondering, are you ready for that scene? That story?ĭB: You’re baiting me. There’s a story in book seven and probably season seven, where you and Claire connect in a way that you probably don’t need clothes. ![]() Do you read ahead in the books to prepare or do you not like spoilers?ĭB: I have no need to read ahead in the books because I have fans telling me all the time what’s coming up! RG: OK, then I think you know what I’m going to ask. And what I like about this episode is that you actually got a lot of screen time, and I feel like we’ve been missing that with Lord John. RG: It was really wonderful having you back. And I was one of the only people on the flight. I remember going to the airport, it was completely empty. It also meant that I had to spend a month in isolation and that was really difficult.ĭB: Oh yeah, you can only leave for work. And the UK was, of course, in a very different position. It was a huge commitment for me, to take as well as like, safety concerns and anxieties I had about coming to the UK because Australia had not had any experience of COVID really at all. But it also meant that there was no certainty that I would be able to get back into Australia. I was quite privileged to fall into that very small group who were given exemptions. The experience of going to the UK was personally very challenging, because I was coming from Australia and Australia had some of the strictest COVID laws in the world, which also meant that no one was permitted to travel internationally unless it was for exceptional circumstances. When you went back to set, what was that first day back after so long?ĭB: It was really hard, actually. And I kind of enjoy feeling that way from time to time, because there’s kind of an adorkable quality to Lord John and I try to bring that out as much as I can. I just remember feeling quite ridiculous and dorky in that moment.ĭavid Berry and Sam Heughan Starz/Robert Wilson RG: It definitely didn’t look that way!ĭB: To me it did, and that’s how I felt. He looks fabulous in his costume, but he’s holding back a crowd with a broom. I honestly didn’t know how to solve that on the day, and I don’t know if I ever did. There’s a lot of Lord John this time, so: What was your favorite thing about this episode?ĭavid Berry: My favorite thing is how dorky John was with the Broom. Read our whole chat with Berry below! Reshma Gopaldas: It’s so good to have you back for a whole full episode. ![]() But still, Lord John can’t just sweep his feelings under the rug. That Jamie Fraser, always attracting the witches. One might say they have a sweeping love story. ![]() Berry also revealed the original character on Outlander he first auditioned for!Īnd, of course, we talked about episode 5, “Give Me Liberty,” in which Lord John protects Jamie with a broom. We asked Berry about a big story in Diana Gabaldon’s seventh book that involves John Grey and Claire Fraser, broke down Grey’s feelings towards Jamie Fraser, and asked Berry the fans’ most burning questions. If Outlander’s Lord John Grey ( David Berry) had a Facebook account in the 1700s, his relationship status would be “It’s complicated.” And if there was one about John, Jamie, and Claire Fraser ( Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe), it would be, “It’s super complicated.” Outlander star David Berry, who plays the man who would do anything for the Frasers, sat down with me for SheKnows to talk about his character’s return to Outlanderas well as exciting stories in season 7.
