To his fans, he is the most Scottish Scot ever to star in a big movie and the megastar of the acclaimed Outlander series, which was released in mid-2014. This television project made Sam Heughan a truly famous and sought-after movie actor.

The actor himself does not like to reveal his cards and hides his personal life behind seven locks. However, in the above article, you can find out a few details about which the man is silent.

The early years and the first attempts as an actor

April 30, 1980 in Scotland was born baby Sam, who got his name from one of the characters in the book "The Lord of the Rings" (Samwise). His parents were hippies, and, apparently, that is why they chose a name for their son in such an extraordinary way. Sam has a brother Kirdan, who, by the way, got his name in the same way. But since childhood, the guys had a very hard time, because their father left them when Sam was only three years old. And the mother, as best she could, tried to raise her sonsworthy people.

The family traveled extensively and settled in Edinburgh in 1992. After graduation, the young man decides to see the world and goes on a tour of Europe, while visiting America. And when he returns, he realizes that he wants to connect his life with acting, and for a start he joins the Lyceum theater troupe. At the same time, Sam enters the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. During the training period, the young actor plays a lot on stage, for which he bothers to receive various prizes and awards within the academy.

Outlander changed my life

The aspiring actor got on television in 2004, when he took part in the film "War on the Island". Next, Sam Heughan tries to break into a big movie, but all in vain. An interesting fact is that the actor repeatedly auditioned for the TV project "Game of Thrones" for different roles, but was refused everywhere. In general, the guy was unlucky at the beginning of his career. He starred in several films, where he received minor roles, or even leading roles, which did not make him popular in the slightest. Until one day he received an offer to play the lead role in the now sensational time travel television series Outlander.

In an interview, Sam admitted that the role of Jamie from the mentioned film was his very ticket to the world of popularity and fame. Still, the series is known and loved by everyonethe world. Besides, he had to play the Scotsman, which he himself is. In general, the actor is delighted with absolutely everything in the series: the quality of filming, scenery, cinematic battles. According to him, this series really changed his life, because now he is firmly on his feet and even managed to create his own charitable foundation.

It is worth mentioning that after "Outlander" the actor has become more in demand, and the premiere of a new comedy action movie with his participation - "The Spy Who Dumped Me" is just around the corner. Sam's shooting partner was a famous Hollywood star - Mila Kunis.

Sam Heughan on his personal life

Sam has always been a dark horse in terms of advertising his personal relationships, so the Internet was full of various news about his new chosen one or chosen one. Yes, yes, same-sex novels were also attributed to the actor. But, as it turned out, all this is just fantasies and conjectures of annoying fans and paparazzi. Once, in an interview, he was asked if he had a girlfriend, to which he very dryly and at the same time mysteriously replied: "Perhaps, yes." But still, no matter how hard the stars try to hide their personal lives, they are still always and everywhere under the gun.

Orientation OK

But some, very persistent individuals, nevertheless managed to establish the chronology of relationships and novels (long or not very long) of the Scottish Outlander star.

• In 2013, there was a rumor that Sama little affair began with a little-known Irish actress Amy Shiels, who is better known for the film projects "Twin Peaks", "Massacre" and "Hunting for Veronica".
• In 2014, someone caught the actor in a love relationship with British secondary actress Abby S alt.
• In the same year, Heughan was seen in too warm relations with an American actress Cody Kennedy, who is an actress of a little-known movie.
• Yeah, 2014 was a fruitful year for the actor not only in terms of acting, but also in the love field. Although the main characters of the Outlander series deny their relationship is far from friendly, still many do not believe that Heughan and Balfe have a love relationship only on the TV screen.

Mackenzie Mauzy

Finally, in 2015, the actor had a really big change on the love front. They are said to have met at her birthday when American actress and singer Mackenzie Mauzy was celebrating her 29th birthday. For a long time, the doves hid their relationship and shied away from personal questions in every way. However, in 2017, the couple appeared in an embrace on the red carpet of the world-famous Oscar 2017 ceremony. And then all guesses and doubts disappeared - Sam and Mackenzie are now together. Further, lovers could be seen arm in arm at almost all social events.

The first joint holiday for the guys was Sam's birthday: in AprilIn 2017, he celebrated his 37th birthday. The couple also spent Christmas together. They are very good-looking and perfectly match each other, so I want to believe that the guys will have a happy, bright and long future together.
