‘Outlander’ stars Sophie Skelton and Richard Rankin question the delicate balance between honesty and manners as they share their thoughts on proper etiquette in tricky situations. Watch as Richard contemplates how he’d handle being mistaken for another actor and Sophie reveals she has no problem if a friend falls asleep during ‘Outlander’—though not understanding her ‘Friends’ reference is another matter entirely. Plus, the duo offer Taylor Swift-inspired advice on staying true to who you love, even if loved ones disapprove.

00:00So this is a hard point in the interview where you don't know if honesty is
00:04matters or not. Hi I'm Sophie Skelton and I'm Richard Rankin and this is Common
00:10Courtesy with Town & Country.
00:14Is it me? Yeah. No it's... yeah. No. It's you? It's me? Please after you.
00:21You meet an Outlander fan who is passionately upset about the outcome of
00:26the latest season. How do you console them? I say, listen, what was your name?
00:33Linda. Listen, Linda. Listen, honey, Linda, listen. Honey? I don't think you've ever used the word honey in your life.
00:40Well with Linda I am. Of course because she's upset. She's passionately upset.
00:45Of course. I say, Linda there is plenty of other television you can watch and many
00:50have better endings, more interesting endings. I can suggest a few shows for
00:54you to watch to help you recover from this trauma that you've suffered.
00:58Actually, you're Scottish so I think your reply would be, get to fuck, Linda.
01:02Yeah, but this is about pretending that we have manners.
01:08You're at an exclusive event and you see that your childhood celebrity crush is also in attendance.
01:14Do you approach them? This is a better question for you.
01:18Why? Because you have a list of your celebrity crushes.
01:24Oh, yeah, but we won't want to do that.
01:26Okay. Do I approach them? No.
01:28No. No. You probably don't, do you?
01:31No, I don't. No.
01:32Unless you've had a few and not unless it's politely with manners.
01:37What, like yours would be, Emma Stone, please may you marry me.
01:40Thanks for that.
01:43A fan approaches and asks for a selfie, but they have confused you with another actor.
01:48How do you proceed?
01:49I say, Linda.
01:52Linda, listen, honey, I'm afraid I can't oblige because I would be pretending to be someone that
01:57I'm not and that's not going to benefit you or I.
02:00You or me.
02:03I was waiting for it. I hope you find the person you're looking for.
02:06I wish you all the best and Godspeed on your journey.
02:10You just make Linda's day.
02:11But it won't because she'll later realise, she'll be like, oh my god, that's not who I thought it was.
02:15And then she's going to be embarrassed and then she's going to be wanting to go on socials
02:18and then people are going to see her and they're going, oh my god, that woman thought you were
02:20someone else. And they go, oh, I see the resemblance. I'm going to be embarrassed.
02:23What if it's Linda's dying wish to see that actor and she doesn't ever realise it's the
02:27one that's really cool? So who are we talking about here? She's going to be like, oh my god,
02:29David Harbour, I love you. And I'm going to be like, yeah, okay, I'll be the, yeah,
02:35I'll be your stranger thing and take the photo.
02:37I don't know. That's, that's, you know.
02:39That's manners.
02:41You're out with friends and someone in the group keeps correcting everyone's grammar.
02:47That's me. That's what you do.
02:49I know. It's making everyone uncomfortable.
02:51Oh no. Well.
02:52How do you get them to stop this person who keeps correcting everyone's grammar?
02:58I say, don't you worry about their reaction. That's on them.
03:01Everybody should want to learn and you do you. This is me talking to myself, by the way,
03:07because I'm that person. Are you talking to the person who is correcting?
03:09I don't know anymore because it would be me. I don't know what to do.
03:12You're running lines with a co-star and can't help but notice they smell horrible.
03:16You have to share an intimate scene with them later that day to you confront them about their hygiene.
03:23What do you mean?
03:24No.
03:27Oh man.
03:28I thankfully never had that experience before. It sounds awful. I can't, I don't know.
03:34I don't know, do you? Have I ever smelled really bad and you've thought, Jesus?
03:38No, you would say, wouldn't you? Would you?
03:42So this is a hard point in the interview where you don't know if honesty is bad or not.
03:48No. No, but you do it on purpose. Like when we had a scene in season two.
03:52Yeah, but that was part of the scene. And you ate lobster roll to make it.
03:54That was part of the scene though.
03:56Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:58I had to eat it in the scene.
03:59Yeah, of course.
04:00It's true.
04:02You think you've found your soulmate, but your friends and family didn't approve.
04:06They are trying to convince you to break up with your partner. Do you give in or do you fly back?
04:11Man, this is deep.
04:12Well, it's irrelevant, right? I think, I mean, that's a pressure that can be, you know, difficult
04:20to navigate. But I think if you're with someone and you enjoy being with them and you love them,
04:26then you should stay with them and forget what everyone else thinks or what their opinion is.
04:31But daddy, I love him.
04:32Very good.
04:34You know you want to sing it.
04:38I've been this baby.
04:41I know I'm that.
04:43But you should see your faces.
04:47One of your friends confesses that every time they try to watch Outlander, they fall asleep.
04:52You fell asleep?
04:54What do you say to them?
04:55What do you say to them?
04:56Cool, find something else.
04:57If they say, I fell asleep.
04:58Oh, that's okay. Find something else. Or, oh, he died. Or, cool.
05:02I go, well, you should fast forward to the Roger stuff.
05:05My response actually would be, you fell asleep.
05:07You fell asleep?
05:09And then if they didn't get that, then?
05:10Then it's over. The friendship's dead.
05:13You're on your first date.
05:15And they are insisting that you act like your character in Outlander.
05:19They're even calling you Roger.
05:22How do you get out of it?
05:23I say, Linda.
05:26Listen, Linda, honey, listen.
05:31I can't keep doing this for you because I want you to get to know the real me.
05:36And I think that our relationship can really flourish, whereas probably not so much with Roger.
05:43But you are the real you. You are Roger.
05:45I'm much, much better than Roger.
05:49And I think that if you just allow yourself to realise that, then we will have a much better time.
05:55I promise.
05:55And then you say, Linda, please don't Roger me.
05:59Yes. Linda, please don't Roger me.
06:03Does that mean the same thing that it means in England?
06:05I don't think so.
06:06So, Rogering someone is, you say it.
06:09No, you.
06:11Rogering someone is like, having sex with them quite fashionably.
06:15Vigorously.
06:16Cool. So, Linda's had a good first date.
06:20What else?
06:21Nah, she keeps calling me Roger.
06:23You're trying to impress your significant other's parents,
06:26but they keep making negative comments about you whilst you're in the room.
06:29How do you handle the situation?
06:31Aw, that's mean.
06:33Yeah. I say, listen.
06:35Linda.
06:36Little Linda, your mum and dad are being between us.
06:41Complete ****s.
06:42So the word **** his man is tears up.
06:44I know, but there's a point where you lose your patience, isn't there?
06:47Richard, that's matching my manners and my manners.
06:48I say, why are you saying mean things about me?
06:50So your idea of manners is blowing up the situation?
06:52Yeah, I'm just going to leave.
06:53Perfect.
06:54I'm just going to go.
06:55Don't try this at home.
06:57You run into an ex that you'd really rather avoid.
07:00They see you before you can make your escape.
07:03What do you do?
07:04Depends how the ex was.
07:05Maybe just leave.
07:06You want to chat chat if you don't leave?
07:09You do you.
07:10What about you?
07:11Probably cry.
07:12Pfft, fucking hell.
07:16Okay.
07:18It didn't end well with Linda and her parents.
