Outlander star Caitriona Balfe’s parents recently opened up about her mischievous teenage years. Known for her elegant and fearless portrayal of Claire Fraser in the hit series, Balfe’s character is the perfect match for Highlander Jamie Fraser. As fans eagerly await the release of season seven, part two, it’s interesting to learn about Balfe’s upbringing in Tydavnet, Ireland.
During a segment on RTE News, Balfe’s parents shared some insights into her younger days. Her mother, Anne, described her as “lively,” while her father, Jim, playfully called her a “scamp.” The camera crew couldn’t help but laugh as Anne jokingly scolded Jim for revealing too much. Anne also mentioned that Balfe was sociable and had a talent for making friends.
In a touching tribute on Instagram, Balfe announced the passing of her father in August 2022. While it’s unclear if her mother is still alive, Balfe cherished the memories of her parents and the support they provided throughout her career.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in the spotlight since stepping back from their senior royal duties in 2020. In a trailer for their upcoming Netflix series, the couple emphasized the importance of sharing their own story. Prince Harry noted that the public doesn’t see what goes on behind closed doors, and Meghan questioned whether it’s better to hear their perspective directly.
While reports have circulated about the couple potentially earning up to $100 million for the show, the exact figure remains unknown and disputed. Regardless, their decision to share their experiences offers a unique opportunity for viewers to gain insight into their lives.
My father, James (Big Jim) BALFE, passed away on Tuesday, August 2. He was a remarkable man, both in size and personality. His impact on my life was immense, and he was adored by countless people who will deeply miss him.
