Playing the game alongside Belfast co-star Jamie Dornan for British Vogue, the two stars were compelled to confirm whether or not they’d ever fallen over in public. Balfe turned around her paddle to read “I Have,” then said, “One of my most embarrassing moments is I fell off a stool in front of Prince when I was inebriated.” Balfe didn’t reveal any more details about her mortifying wipeout in front of the artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince—but considering Prince passed away in April 2016, two years before Outlander Season 1 premiered, it could’ve happened either during Balfe’s modeling days or when she was first receiving notice as an up-and-coming actress. For his part, Dornan extended his sympathies to Balfe for that gaffe by telling her, “And the world feels terrible for you.”
Who is Caitriona Balfe’s celebrity crush?
But wait, there’s more! Balfe also confessed to having a celebrity crush on… The Conners and Righteous Gemstones star John Goodman?! In response to the prompt, “Never have I ever met my celebrity crush,” Balfe said with a smile, “I met John Goodman!” Dornan doubled over in shock and replied, “Not what i was expecting—or anyone was expecting,” as Balfe continued: “I was young, but there’s something very endearing and lovely about him. And then I tried to tell him on a red carpet once and he was very, like, scared of me I think.” For his part, Dornan admitted to having a much less surprising celeb crush back in his youth—Lord of the Rings’ and 9-1-1: Lone Star’s Liv Tyler—although he added that he used to kiss a black-and-white poster of her in his bedroom every night, and that a friend of his once made him admit as much to Tyler in the flesh! Belfast, which also stars Judi Dench and Ciarán Hinds, arrives in U.S. theaters on Friday, Jan. 21, 2022. Balfe has already been nominated for numerous awards for her performance in the film, including Best Supporting Actress at the Critics Choice Awards, the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes. Meanwhile, Season 6 of Outlander will finally premiere on Starz on Sunday, March 6, 2022. Next, Don’t Miss Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe Tease Season 6 of Outlander and Watch the Teaser Trailer
