Celebrities often experience strange fan encounters, but Caitr\u00edona Balfe\u2019s story is extra weird.<\/p>\n
The \u201cOutlander\u201d star was going under anesthesia when she realized the doctor was a fan. \u201cI think my weirdest [fan encounter] was an anesthesiologist who decided to start singing the theme tune to me as she was putting me under. That was a lot. She’s supposed to be keeping me alive,\u201d Balfe told People<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Starz fantasy show recently concluded its eighth and final season, and Balfe admitted filming the show\u2019s last episodes was an emotional process. \u201cI cried like 20 times this season,\u201d she explained. \u201cI was like, \u2018Wait, I just can’t stop being emotional.’ I mean, it was like this has been a humongous part of our lives, and everybody on the show has been a huge team to be on something that’s long. It’s been like 12 years.\u201d<\/p>\n Previously, the \u201cFord v Ferrari\u201d actress discussed the pressure she and co-star Sam Heughan felt while filming the eighth season. “[We] felt so much responsibility to make it right, and everything felt heightened,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Balfe added, \u201cIt was an emotionally taxing nine months. All of us took some time off as well, because I think you do \u2014 well, at least for me, I’ll speak for myself \u2014 but I wanted to process it and I wanted to honor the experience of the character by letting it go, in a healthy way.”<\/p>\n Balfe made sure to take some mementos from her time on set. \u201cI got a vase, and also I asked for my rings, and I got my rings I feel like if I’ve gone through that many marriages [in the show], I deserve the hardware,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Follow us on Instagram @WeArePauseRewind<\/a> for all your pop culture obsessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
