Outlander has captured millions of hearts with its unforgettable romance between Jamie and Claire Fraser, but the real lives of the actors behind these characters are just as fascinating. Sam Heughan, who brings Jamie Fraser to life, plays a character who is around 55 years old in the show's later seasons, while Sam himself is much younger at 43. The production team uses subtle tricks, including changing his iconic red hair and adding glasses, to make him appear older.
