In Case You Didn’t Know, Here’s How Old Jamie Is on Outlander
On Outlander, Jamie and Claire mature pretty steadily over the course of the entire series.
Much like Claire, there's really no sign of his aging since the first episode of the series, save for lighter strands on his red head, some wrinkles, and those sexy bifocals.
Played by Scottish actor Sam Heughan (who is 37 years old), Jamie's aging process is meant to coincide, to a certain extent, with that of the actor so it doesn't look too superficial.
Caitriona Balfe, who plays Claire on the show, explained why they don't use prosthetics to TVLine: "A lot of prosthetics can also be jarring and can take people out of the scene, and it cannot look perfect."Related: 38 Pictures of Sam Heughan That Will Steam Up Your Computer ScreenWhen viewers meet Jamie for the first time in 1743 on Outlander, he's 23 years old and living with his uncles and the Mackenzie clan
