To fans all over the world, Outlander is one of the all-time great fantasy television shows. The series, which has been running on Starz since 2014, is responsible for a burst of interest in the Scottish Highlands and has been credited with making a star out of Scottish actor Sam Heughan.
Over the past few years, Heughan has branched out to other projects, even writing several books — and with the release of his 2022 memoir, Heughan is getting more transparent than ever with his fanbase. In a 2022 interview, Heughan opened up about his experience with an eating disorder, admitting to the pressure that male performers face in the entertainment industry.
