**Caitriona Balfe's Startling Fan Encounter**
Caitriona Balfe, renowned for her role as Claire Fraser in the beloved series "Outlander," recently shared a chilling encounter with a fan that left her feeling "scared." The actress, along with co-star Sam Heughan, who portrays Jamie Fraser, has amassed a global following thanks to the show's immense popularity and passionate fan base.
Even outside the realm of "Outlander," Balfe and Heughan find themselves recognized by fans wherever they go. However, it was during the promotion of her new film "Belfast," alongside Jamie Dornan, that Balfe encountered what she describes as her "strangest" fan encounter yet.
In a candid interview with Elle magazine's "Knowing Me Knowing You," Balfe recounted the unsettling incident. She revealed that the encounter occurred while she was undergoing a dental procedure and found herself under the care of an anesthesiologist who happened to be a fervent "Outlander" fan.
Despite the mundane setting of a dental appointment, Balfe's encounter with the enthusiastic fan took a surprising turn. The anesthesiologist's unabashed admiration for the show during such a vulnerable moment left Balfe feeling unnerved and vulnerable herself.
Balfe's experience serves as a stark reminder of the impact and intensity of fan interactions, even in unexpected circumstances. While she appreciates the support of her fans, this encounter underscores the importance of boundaries and respect, especially in moments of vulnerability.
As Balfe continues to navigate the complexities of fame, her candid revelation sheds light on the nuances of celebrity and the need for mutual respect between public figures and their admirers.
