OUTLANDER Aftershow: David Berry talks Lord John's relationship with Jamie and Claire | TV Insider

[@thevicarage9841]

David Berry's work was utterly BRILLIANT! He inhabits that character with so much virtue, selflessness, and strength he makes Lord John believable and admirable. Jamie may be the King of Men but LJ is definitely a Prince.

[@cielcollie]

and he's so damned pretty !!! ;)

[@susiebirkett74]

My singularly favourite actor of the entire series. We need the Scottish Prisoner televised as a series!!!! What a fantastically talented and insightful actor David Berry is.

[@francescaseyer4709]

I already have adored David Berry in the role of Lord John ever since his character first came on. But that “Morning After” scene is so brilliant. The indescribable expression on his face as he looks up at a pouting and seemingly sulking Claire and then he just says, “What?!” That made me laugh and cry at the same time. Wonderful delivery 👏

[@Glenys-y9l]

What a gorgeous man. So much thought, sensitivity and awareness.

[@Oldleftiehere]

David as Lord John owned this episode. His performance throughout was perfectly drawn. I loved seeing the different sides of Lord John that have been hidden throughout the past seasons.

[@vickie30]

No man looked better in a British uniform than Dave Berry…flaming hot..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@deborabrewer9505]

You were awesome David!❤

[@DesignerLuv]

Oh yes 💯

[@coreenvolovski4470]

David Berry is one of my favorite actors, very classy ❤

[@searchingforknowledge4251]

Fabulous job of acting, David! You portrayed a grieving Lord John SO well. Your facial expressions are incredible, your voice and its control is amazing! I imagine, the intimate scene with Clair was very difficult to shoot. I’m happy it wasn’t any more visual than it was. Bravo, on this episode!

[@InAHandBasket]

The scenes were so brilliant! Every comment I've read is about how amazing you were, David, and of course Caitriona. It was so well done and believable. The intimacy in the morning talks was really great as well. I loved the characters opening up to each other in spite of the embarassment the morning after. So humanizing and personal. Great follow up to the difficult unexpected union. Touché! Well done.

[@InAHandBasket]

In fact many are calling for that Lord John series we were all hoping for!!

[@emjaylhr]

All I can say is that we need to see more of LJG. Can we get a spinoff please!

[@DesignerLuv]

I would love to see a Lord John Grey series after seeing his incredible acting skills in a very difficult complex part that he plays in Outlander.

[@susiebirkett74]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪

[@close_kj4206]

he acts quietly and says so much more. great performance 🙏 Thank you

[@lizadelacruz2929]

He is an intelligent and handsome actor. Portraying John Grey shows a whole gamut of subtle emotions.👍

[@GabrielaAna24]

Brilliant, emotional, outstanding actor. Thank you❤

[@ethelindamangaran9966]

David is indeed a good actor and handsome. He was able to portray Lord John without inhibition.

[@karenranallo3836]

Your performance was awesome David

[@umandadethabrew3511]

Lord John is my favourite character and Dave brings him to life beautifully! Wished there was more Claire & John scenes

[@TiciaA26]

One of a few favs.

[@vicnick6430]

Well done David!! Such a great actor & full of feels x

[@melissabowers6268]

This was everything that the book promised it would be. Caitriona talked about it in an interview last year in Texas that she did. This is more true to the way the books handle it and I am glad that it remained true to the novel.

[@DHogg-w5u]

I have not seen this scene yet but I read the books years ago and I cried like a baby. Both deeply in love with the same man and hurting so bad that they turned to each other for comfort. I see nothing to be ashamed of.

[@fayesvilla]

I love that scene where Lord John loses his composure altogether when Claire didn't agree to show up to that dinner Lord John had arranged. Lolol

[@lorrainegavagan]

I thought it was a difficult scene to do , two people both deeply in love with the same person and share their grief ( thinking that person is dead ) in a sexual manner , each person feels they are sexually loving that person, it makes sense who better than Claire and Lord John , there was anger, grief , frustration and for Claire wanting to end your life because the love of your life is not there and presumed dead, fantastic acting Caitriona Balfe and David Berry ❤️❤️

[@amandabonanza]

You were amazing portraying John Grey and did an excellent Job. ❤️ I loved your screen time during this episode.

[@jenbialek]

David Berry is fantastic in the episode

[@phillippaallard2449]

David's perspective on life and love is expressed so well!

[@donnap6254]

Great job on the episode on and continuing to bring a great character to life. Thank you.

[@DeVedaProchilo]

Very good actor and very handsome.

[@lovesmusic0845]

Lord John is one of my favorite characters. Dave plays that character with such strength, grace and wry humor. I think they shot those wedding night scenes just right. It matched the characters’ mindset. Quick snippets of the desperation and grief. This wasn’t a romantic moment for either character. Just two people sharing what was left of someone they both loved.

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

Well done Dave, just finished watching the latest episode and absolutely REELING.

[@loreluydemerkur7661]

Ohh, David, ich sehe wie schwer es dir fällt alles so zu erklären, damit es nicht unanständig aussieht, sonder einigermaßen wirklich menschlich und vollkommen, wo es viele Gefühle innen drin gibt, aber ich bin mir sicher, du hast es geschafft, wunderbar alle deine Aufgaben gut gemeistert 💖💖💖du bist einfach wunderbar!👍👍👍🤝💖✨️💫✨️🌹

[@elenafanpay]

I found the scene between these 2 characters very elegant, desperate and fantastically performed. Berry was incredible in showing pain and vulnerability. Balfe was amazing as well in showing a painful rage toward her loss. And I love the scene because did not show explicit sex but rather focused on the different grieving processes the 2 characters had, but also showed the inevitable vulnerability of the morning after and how Lord John finally can be open about himself and doing so, keeping the deep bond with Jamie through Claire I think was one of the most moving and tense moment of the show, well directed and played.

[@bbudacious]

Love love watching ❤ I DONT WANT IT TO BE OVER ❤

[@annalanciano6016]

Bellissimo l' adoro ha degli occhi magnetici❤😘

[@YogaBlissDance]

I LOVED IT...so well done!

[@juliaheinritz3264]

I feel the intimate event between Lord John and Claire was brilliantly developed.

[@JuliaLantz]

I think these questions are hard for David to answer, difficult subject manner. I would have liked to see the original script too David. I was waiting for this “bombshell “ for so long. You did your part well and acted it out .

[@renatacomunello]

Amamzong actor. Lote John deserves a séries for him!!!

[@lindag5076]

I can’t wait to get home and watch !

[@camillabarclay4049]

Both amazing he really stepped up the eyes oh my god lord john is sensitive but also brave so amazing really. U wish to god that shed tell him shes fr the future out of the chracters hes the most level headed and wld u derstand the most

[@mariangabriele4600]

I think you try your best to protect Claire and Jamie . And I think you are adorable & I hope that this all works out well 😢😢❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏✝️🌹

[@flatandsplat]

The Fraser's don't deserve Lord John. His devotion to Jamie, saving his life numerous times, bringing up his illegitimate child, becoming engaged with Bree while she was pregnant, marrying Claire. And this is what he gets. And for Jamie and Claire, knowing full well he's been left for dead, have sex on his dining table. Gross.

[@DesignerLuv]

I agree wholeheartedly that they don’t deserve his loyalty & devotion!!!

[@adrianaf3487]

One of the most difficult interpretations and jobs is for David Berry and his Lord John at this moment in history

[@nataliehowe8115]

I wish they would've included the scene where he drinks beer before breakfast

[@jjrubinstein2705]

The intimacy scene was okay, but it should have been more. If you haven’t read the book, I believe you would say, “What the heck just happened?” Their grief and anger at the loss of Jamie were not acted out enough before their sexual intimacy and how amid that anger and grief they also comfort each other, in a sort of violent way. Allowing them to release their extreme grief.

[@deltaanthropos5259]

I disagree. They did the scene just right. I did not read the books and I knew exactly what was happening. This moment was mostly about inconsolable greif and anger and the sex was an incidental consequence of two broken people seeking what little refuge they could find from their pain at that moment. The scene focused mostly on the expression of inconsolable greif, anger and emotional pain and only showed a few hints of sex at the end. Then we cut to them in bed the next morning. Anyone with any experience with these emotions knows exactly what happened. We did not need any gratuitous nudity or porn to understand the complexity of these emotions.

[@pbjer2q-hj3yr]

The scene actually showed more than the book where he entered her room, said he won't mourn Jamie alone then they wake up in bed together in the morning and talk. No need to see more on screen. It's very clear what happened.

[@LindaCatherine-d7c]

Agree!

[@pbjer2q-hj3yr]

Caitriona and David were wonderful in spite of the fast paced episode.

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

Oh My !! David Berry is so fine !! ❤❤

[@magpiegirl3783]

I'm not surprised the actors had difficulty with this storyline. Gabaldon threw a curve ball into the story where we see the characters we have come to "know" behave in ways that are totally against what we believe them to be. To try to convince the viewers of the believability of this storyline is a big ask. I quite liked the disjointed frames of the "act". I reckon a lot of viewers would have been mortified to see a full-on sex scene with these two. I was glad We finally got to see more of David's acting ability and his fight scene with Jamie was terrific.

[@carladebiase7075]

🥰🥰🥰Eccezionale!

[@bluekitty3731]

I like the series, but it takes away a lot for me on how the Lord Gray hasn't really aged in thirty years!

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

Why hasn't Lord John Grey's character aged? Jamie and Claire have.

[@windyhorses971]

I agree with his opinion regarding the Lord John and Claire scenes. I wasn’t into Claire’s violent grief. Seems weird to me. Never experienced grief like that.

[@aardvarkhole]

The stages of grief: Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance Even though the stages are the same with everyone, the time spent within each is highly variable.nn😂

[@Joan.Sandmoor]

So true​@@aardvarkhole

[@Theresebonath6077]

You cant compare your feelings through grief with someone else we are all different

[@aardvarkhole]

@@Theresebonath6077 I did not come up with that list. It is known as the “Kubler-Ross Model” for the stages of grief it describes. It was created by the Swiss-American psychiatrist, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a pioneer in near-death studies. It was her research that established the five stages of grief. Her most known work was a best-seller, titled “On Death and Dying”. We all go through the stages. The difference is that everyone has a different period of time in each stage.

[@mariangabriele4600]

[@SolangeBrill]

I think LJG should have looked older than William. To me they look like peers rather than Father & Son.

[@chrisadams3871]

Get that horrible music out of that background

[@cathieferro9028]

The music is annoying and way too loud.

[@RebelScum666]

Great acting, but episode was way too fast! Rushed!

[@melissamorgan9110]

I felt he felt feeling for Claire after. When in bed smiling, not happy about her not wearing his ring, giving her a dress while seeming proud of himself. Just my thoughts. Oh, and not happy about Claire kissing jamie when the first found out he was alive. He looked sad.

[@gaylaaustin7468]

There was so much more in the episode but everyone wants to know about the sex 🤦‍♀️

[@Theresebonath6077]

No it wasnt at all shocking it was in the book and more but you did it so believeble great work

How many times has Lord John been married? Isobel….Claire….who else?

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Just Isobel and Claire (although the marriage with Claire was not valid).

[@blancacepeda3021]

Por eso no voy a ver mas.

[@snittyz]

I'm glad they didn't show too much of the intimate scene. The implication was enough. Nobody wants to see that, as much as i love Lord John and Claire, it was a lot.

Sos un buen actor jonny y dulce persona en cambio sa. M es gritón mala forma de hablar a uno bastante bruto y malo con u o te grita mal edu ado. Pero es Diana la creadora de la cerie que la hizo así tan solo que se equivocaron al hacerla incestuosa en un país que hay mu has cosas que están mal pero es la mayoría católicos y no estamos acostumbrados brazos a ver ecenas donde un padre case ecenas de amor en noches noches estrelladas no me gusta esas cosas a Diana leproivieron en muchos países la entrada de los libros a las bibliotecas por el cexo q describían. Yo pienso en los niños los grandes tenemos q cuidarlos para eso estamos los grandes sean no familia son los mas preciado de un país si ellos no hay futuro.😊

[@The22Jeanne]

C'est vraiment un très bel homme. Mais, bien sûr avant tout un excellent acteur . Certains, dans la série ont des visages un peu trop modernes qui ont dû être maquillés pour gommer cela, mais, lui, a un physique qui aide à le rendre encore plus crédible dans ce rôle. Par contre, je trouve que son vrai prénom (David) ne lui va pas, for some reason, idkw....

[@blancacepeda3021]

Es como un cexo brutal no es de mi agrado es. Familiar entre sam y briana .

[@kataleenasmith9281]

Is he Australian??

[@pamstuckey8349]

yes

[@davemurphy6913]

Yes he is Australian

[@DHogg-w5u]

But he was born in Canada.

[@candicevee1]

I’m not going to watch it. Clair betrayed Jamie. She said she could feel he was still alive and then has sex with John? It wasn’t love, it was lust and alcohol. And she was looking for comfort? Even the actors hated the idea of filming it.Shame on John. Shame on Clair. The whole premise was stupid. I’m done with this series.

[@janetnewbill291]

I don’t think they did they were drunk and don’t remember! And in the book she tells him she didn’t. In go tell the bees I’m gone. We will see what she tells Jamie next episode! Don’t quit watching😂❤

[@flourchylde]

Seriously? You're done because of one scene. Don't forget that that is what Diana Gabaldon wrote. You can't blame the actors or producers. Had they not included this scene, it would have been a disservice to the books.

[@candicevee1]

I read the books. It just spoiled the story for me.

[@flourchylde]

@candicevee1, respectfully, I get that, but I don't get quitting the series over it.

[@Samuraikitty23]

You.can’t even spell Claire properly. I doubt you’re much of a fan anyway.

[@dianemarcakis4624]

Wow! This show just gets better and better! Never know what is going to happen around the corner! Haven’t read the books either yet! So everything is new and exciting for me! We always have to remember Jamie had a few trysts when he and Claire were separated! Even had a son! What remarkable actors there are in Outlander! We are very lucky to have this show! 💙🤍🙏🏻🤩

[@susancrawford5113]

You must read the books! Do not let 1000 pages intimidate you.

[@dianemarcakis4624]
