Outlander fans were left stunned after a new behind-the-scenes clip revealed the filming of William Ransom's (portrayed by Charles Vandervaart) daring rescue by his adoptive father Lord John Grey (David Berry) and Young Ian Murray (John Bell). The brief footage showed the actors discussing the scene.
Vandervaart, 24, quipped: "Got a bit bashed up but you should have seen the other guys."
He humorously remarked that William had "seen better days" after being chained up with a bag over his head and a piece of wood in his mouth.
The rising actor lauded his co-star and on-screen father, who sported an eye patch following a brutal beating from Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), saying: "Lord John looks like a full superhero now with his eye patch."
Meanwhile, Berry, 40, and Bell, 27, disclosed their part in William's rescue.
Berry stated: "He's [Bell] doing to do the talking and I'm going to do the action stuff."

The trio conversed out of character and in their natural accents, which surprised many due to their real nationalities and voices, reported the Daily Record. In the series, both Lord John and William are English, while Young Ian is a Highlander.
One viewer, ksf77, expressed shock under the video: "THEY ARENT ENGLISH?!?!? [sic]."
Another user, mscharlottemygind, clarified: "@ksf77 Lord john gray is australian. Willie are Canadian and Ian is scottish [sic]."
The original commenter, ksf77, responded: "@mscharlottemygind ahhhhhh thanks they're Amazing [sic]."

Another fan, mscharlottemygind, clarified: "No Lord john is australian William is canadian and Ian is scottish [sic]."
Outlander enthusiast @Carolethepayne expressed her excitement, saying: "So thrilled Lord John is a major character this season, always been probably my favorite character. Would love to see David Berry out on a publicity tour - that Aussie accent is so disconcerting, not to mention how gorgeous David is [sic]."
Meanwhile, cowboybeetlejuice humorously noted: "god the Aussie accent really takes him from Lord John to a fella having a weekend at kryal castle [sic]."
Indeed, recent addition to the Outlander cast Vandervaart is Canadian, while seasoned actor Berry hails from Australia.
The series is renowned for its international cast, including Irish star and producer Caitriona Balfe who plays English woman Claire Fraser.
Interestingly, even Scottish cast members such as Steven Cree, who portrays Ian Murray, and Lauren Lyle have previously remarked on how their natural Scottish accents differ from those used in the show due to the Highland region and historical setting of the series.
Outlander season 7 concludes on January 17 on Starz in the USA and on MGM+ via Prime Video in the UK
