r385. Appreciate that you are asking for my opinion.
Well, that was kind of a rodeo the last days for gay actor Sam Heughan and his PR Jennifer Allen.
On the first view his rant on IG got his hardcore fans in line and stopped the critic posts on SM. There are still fans out there, who think, he is ginger Jesus (as someone stated on tumblr).
On the long run it was just putting a plaster on a serious injury.
Sam Heughans career is on the downhill road. He is trapped in his role as Jamie Fraser, he stately made clear is not him on his IG rant. He was so desperatly and with a lot of work trying to make it to HW. He failed for many reasons. Wrong advisers, wrong scripts, wrong roles for him. He is definetly no action hero, no comedian. Even in his Hallmark movie he acted wooden and was a misplaced cast.
He is an average actor, when out of his comfort zone. I give him respect for his roles at a "Very British Sex Scandal" and I liked him in "Emulsion".
Outlander was his last straw, he was cute and sexy looking in the first two seasons. Then Diana Gabbaldons writing was no longer adaptable to the screen and he can obviously not carry the ageing scottish warrior. He is just not the physical type for it. He is not manly enough for it.
The same for all of us, when getting older, your natural behaviour gets more visible. So, gay actor will not getting more manly during ageing.
His income is built on his role as Jamie Fraser. All his selling whiskey and scarfs is based on his role as Jamie Fraser. He knows, that all his investments rely on this. And there are a couple of people who live on him. His MPC will survive, may be with much lesser participants next year.
Staying in Hawaii, against all advices beforehand and ignoring gouvernment advices to leave is just miserable. And, as other stated, he is not "stuck there". There are still regular flight connections until today.
And there is still this bearding, that was so much bad handled. Everything went out of control and ended in his IG rant.
Anyway, as I said a couple of posts as mentioned above: His HW career is over, well there was never one. And I am still not sure, whether there will be a S6 of Outlander due to Corona and Brexit. And in the moment I ca not see any new HW casting him. There are tons of other good looking and talented actors out there. May be, he will earn some money with his Clanlands TV show in Scotland. But the time of big incomes is over and also the money for 1000/night at a Hawaii rentals.
And he knows it. May be, that is the reason, he is still in Hawaii. Coming back to the real world in the next week will be very hurtful.
And concerning Jennifer Allen and her PR for gay actor Sam Heughan. When Outlander ends he will not have the money to pay her anymore. He has no steady income from his acting since S 6 and Bloodshot. According to him he gets no salary from MPC. May be a couple of thousands from his Great Glen Company. He will have a comfortable life in his paid apartment. He will still get his Audi on reduced leasing rates, because they sponsor people, who may be influencers since 20 years.
He will dissapear in the Nirvana. And probably we will not discuss him here in an about one year.
