Outlander, your favorite sexy, time-traveling, Scottish romance, is a lot of things. It's sexy, yes. It's dramatic. Sometimes it's even kind of hilarious. Behind the scenes, though, the cast's hilarity and personal brand of quirky absurdity are turned up to 11. To prove it, here are 46 wonderfully weird photos the cast and crew have shared from behind the scenes of the hit Starz drama.
Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe, Maria Doyle Kennedy, and Colin McFarlane
Full costume selfies are the best selfies.
Sophie Skelton, Caitriona Balfe, and Sam Heughan
Nothing says "historically accurate" like a smartphone and puffy coat, right?
Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan
The stars of Outlander work so hard they can't stay awake by the end of the season. Or Caitriona can't, anyway.

Just a little Pret on set.

Anderson's cat picture can't beat Sam's cat selfie though.

The best part of this in-costume rugby shoutout video is Caitriona Balfe video bombing it.
Sam Heughan and Romann Berrux
This selfie welcomed Romann to Instagram and we can't think of a better introduction to the IG world.

Warning: Caitriona's goodbye tribute to her onscreen husband might make you tear up.
Lauren Lyle and César Domboy
If it weren't for the water bottle, this could pass for a still from the show.
Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan
Caitriona and Sam, like all best friends, kill time taking random photos together, like this one of their shadows, complete with a trolly caption from Caitriona about Sam's height.
Richard Rankin
Richard Rankin is also a fan of shadow selfies on set. Must be an Outlander cast thing.

And César Domboy, too. The shadow selfie is basically an Outlander rite of passage.

Fun fact: The Outlander cast spends their downtime on set doing things like watching sheep racing.

And watching goats dance. As if you didn't already think the Outlander cast had the best jobs, right?
Romann Berrux
Puffy coat and a camera coverup. Scotland weather is brutal.
