Outlander star Caitriona Balfe recently opened up about a shocking experience she had during an interview with her co-star, Sam Heughan. During the ATX TV Festival, Balfe recalled a moment when Heughan was asked about his physical appearance, and she was taken aback. She shared this uncomfortable incident with the audience, explaining that if she had been asked the same question by a male reporter, it would have caused a media frenzy.

Balfe discussed the double standards in the industry, particularly when it comes to how men and women are treated. She believes that women are also guilty of perpetuating these double standards. While it may no longer be acceptable for a male journalist to ask a female actress about her body, Balfe has noticed that some female reporters still feel it is appropriate to ask male actors these types of questions.

In addition to addressing the issue of balance in Hollywood, Balfe encouraged women to be wise with their money and support women in cinema.

She emphasized the importance of supporting projects led by women, as the success of these projects will determine whether they continue to be made in the future.

Balfe also provided some insights into filming Outlander with Heughan, revealing that she is unsure of how the show will end due to delays in production for season eight.
