- Hi there, I'm Sam Heughn.
- And I'm Graham McTavish.
- And we're here with Buzzfeed today
to find out how well we actually know each other.
Oh dear.
(light music)
- The first time you met.
- It was in London, in Soho.
I was cast as Jamie Fraser in Outlander.
And I was auditioning other characters,
or other actors for these parts.
And in walks, McTavish himself,
- Yes. - sporting,
what can only be described as
a very overt outfit that he was wearing.
It was sort of pink, I think, a pink sweater,
some sort of cap, a fedora, scarf.
He came in and tried to take over the space,
but yeah, that's the first time we met.
- Similar memory, we met in Soho.
It was a very, very hot day.
That probably explains the lederhosen that Sam was wearing
for the interview.
Just to allow his legs to not get so hot.
- Yeah. - Thank you Sam.
Your birthday.
- My birthday? I know when that is.
- (laughs) all right,
Sam's birthday is April the 30th.
- For a bonus question, who's birthday is the day after?
- Jamie Fraser.
Boom.
- Boom.
Graham's birthday is the fourth of January.
I know the year,
1700, 1771, something like that.
- Something like that, late 18th Century.
- Yeah. - Yes.
- Middle name.
- Sam's middle name
is Roland.
- Graham's middle name is,
I think it's like Archibald? - No.
- It's Josiah? Yosemite?
(Graham laughing) Elvis, it's Elvis.
- It's close to Elvis, it's James.
- I think my answer was better than your real name.
- No, you got that one wrong. - You should change your name.
- Change your name to Graham Josiah Elvis McTavish.
- Your go-to snack on set.
- Graham's go-to snack is whatever mine is.
He'll just basically take it and eat it.
- Yes, and Sam's go-to snack,
well, a bit of a protein shake guy.
I was very jealous of the protein shake
so I insisted on getting one as well.
Their favorite alcoholic drink.
Well, whiskey for Sam.
- Yes, and for Graham, a cold Chablis,
- Correct. - Some sort of white wine.
The most expensive white wine,
of which he would then charge,
not to production, not to his room,
he'll charge to his room.
- That's right.
- What you didn't know is that I would charge my room
to your room. - Sneaky.
- Your first acting job.
Weren't you in Burlesque?
Wasn't it Burlesque or something?
(Graham laughing)
Wasn't it some like 1940's Burlesque show?
If it wasn't that, I'm imagining it's theater
and you probably played the dame in a pantomime.
- Yes, it was theater.
It was actually a play by Samuel Beckett
called Krapp's Last Tape.
- Did you play Krapp? - I was Krapp.
Now, what was your first job?
Your first job,
I think children's entertainer, wasn't it?
Something like that, juggling for children.
- Oh you mean, like the puppet, like one of those,
welcome to the show. - Exactly.
Finger puppet. - No, it wasn't actually.
- No? Oh. - It was also a play
called Outlying Islands.
And it was in my second year of drama school
and I got casted. - Oh, that was your first job.
Their favorite scene/moment you've filmed together.
- I think Culloden,
we explore the battle of Culloden
in the last episode of Men in Kilts.
And I think that, for you,
is possibly your favorite?
- That's definitely in the top five.
- I would say your favorite scene
was watching me abseil off the side of a cliff.
- Yup, it's true.
Favorite place for you to visit in Scotland.
- Your favorite place would be anything above 3000 feet.
- Ah, yes, that's good.
So it would be a Munro? - Yes, indeed.
- Your favorite place to visit in Scotland.
I know you love the islands, Benbecula,
I know you love Applecross, you know, cycling your bicycle.
But I'm gonna say your favorite place
is a restaurant in Edinburgh.
Generally anywhere where Graham can eat and drink.
- You're correct about the cycling.
Anywhere that I'm cycling around Scotland,
I'm very happy.
But eating is very important.
Their all time favorite movie or TV show.
- Graham's favorite movie or TV show,
it's gonna be Monty Python.
- Ah, yeah.
Yup, it's hugely influential. - Top five?
- You're one favorite movie or TV show, oh dear.
- I'll give you a clue.
There's two people in it,
one is extremely handsome and brave,
the other one is a bit of a buffoon.
They experience different parts of wherever they go.
The young one, who's much younger.
- Compared to the buffoon? - Compared to the buffoon,
he's just great, an all time around
sort of great kind of guy.
- I think you're possibly referring to the show
we made together but there are certain things
that you mentioned that I don't recognize.
- Ahh. - Eight out of nine.
You know absolutely everything.
I know everything about you.
We've been in each other's lives for quite some time.
And now you've got very close while filming,
you are basically the same person.
This is terrifying.
- Once you sit on the back of a tandem bicycle
behind Graham McTavish,
there's not really much else to know about him.
- Yeah, the idea that we've basically become the same person
is so disturbing on so many levels.
- Can I have some of your money, then?
(Graham laughing) - Or your house?
Men in Kilts is on Starz.
- And on the Starz app.
- Bye Graham.
Bye Buzzfeed. - Bye Sam.
