He explained: “I’ve discovered a dark side to fame. It’s the one part of my job that unsettles me. I like people enjoying my work, but when they invest in my private life, it takes something away something that all of us value.“There are times when I have found myself held accountable for actions taken by Jaime, which is ludicrous.

Or they have created false narratives around relationships I’ve had.”With regard to his working partnership and off screen friendship with Caitriona he penned: “In particular, this can focus on Jamie’s relationship with Claire.

Off screen, Caitriona Balfe and I enjoy each other’s company. “We’ve worked with each other for long enough to relax and be ourselves, and we know each other extremely well, perhaps like brother and sister; we have been through a lot together.
