He then pointed out that it was Lupe who had been in the audience, adding that she had gifted him a necklace. He proudly showed it off and thanked her, saying, “Thank you so much, Lupe.”
Heughan also playfully noted that he met Lupe before meeting Jennifer Lopez herself, jokingly shielding his eyes from the stage lights to check if J.Lo might be in the crowd. The lighthearted moment showcased his charming sense of humor.
The actor also opened up about Outlander during the podcast, teasing the upcoming season 8, which will be the final season of the series. He spoke about the dramatic season 7 finale, calling it one of his favorites and hinting at a major cliffhanger that will have fans talking for a long time.
