Sam Heughan Recalls Infamous Ben Affleck Interview During Night Shoots

Sam Heughan is currently busy filming “Outlander” Season 5. One of the challenges the actors of the show have to face is night shoots. The actor joked about what it is like to do these shoots by recalling an infamous Ben Affleck interview.

Heughan has a reputation for working hard. He doesn’t usually miss out on his gym work outs even though he has to film scenes for the “Outlander” TV series. However, when it comes to night shoots, even he can’t help but feel sleepy.

In a Twitter post about feeling sleeping during night shoots, Heughan shared a GIF of an interview of Affleck. The interview was dubbed “Sad Affleck” by the fans at that time, and it was about the actor’s reaction to the lackluster performance of his film “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.”

In the original interview, Henry Cavill responded to the question about the mixed response by the fans to the film, while Affleck quietly listened to his colleague. Someone took that interview and added Simon Garfunkel’s song “Sound of Silence,” focusing on the Batman actor’s face.

The edited video with the “Sound of Silence” song went viral on the internet. Affleck himself saw the video and talked about it in an interview with BBC Radio 1, saying that the one thing he learnt after that film was not to do interviews with Cavill where he doesn’t say anything and people add Garfunkel songs to the video.

Heughan on the other hand may be feeling sleepy on the set, but there may not be any “Sad Heughan” videos hitting the internet any time soon. The actor previously shared a video from the production set on Instagram, where all the cast members seemed very happy. In the video, Heughan wished the Glassgow Warriors team the best of luck in the PRO14 final.

Filming of “Outlander” Season 5 has been ongoing for some time now. The show is set to air sometime later this year, and producers are yet to announce an exact release date.
