Outlander Bonnie Prince Charlie Star on Corset Costume Challenges ‘The pain is real!’

Andrew Gower made a #BonnieComeback in Season 6 of Outlander in the iconic role of the “Bonnie Prince” Charles Edward Stuart who in 1746 fled government troups under the disguise of Betty Burke, an Irish maid.

In a recent interview with the Daily Express, Andrew Gower now opened up about the challenges of wearing a corset:

“The pain of the corset is real! I’ve been in so many period dramas where I’ve been like, ‘Oh, why is my co-star not having any tea or having any dinner or lunch? Or why are they a bit late onto set or whatever?’ Now I know exactly why that is.”
Gower went on to say how the costume department “laced me up”, so he would get the full corset experience. He also admitted: “Sitting was interesting.”

He further added jokingly:

I don’t know whether my mum was proud or embarrassed.

We’d say proud, always proud, as every mum would be! 😉
