“So I was just like, ‘Does your body know if you’re pretending to be stressed and upset and angry?’”
She added to the Observer: “Because you’re going through all the motions to get yourself into a state where you’re crying or shouting or scared, and there were times where I must have been four or five months pregnant and I’m running around shooting guns.
“And I’m like, ‘What does this child think?’
“It must be like, ‘Who the f**k is my mother? What am I being born into?’”
Outlander fans will be excited to see the star return to screens soon as the season premieres in early March.
