FLASH! We join Lon­don’s glit­terati at Chanel and Charles Finch’s an­nual star-stud­ded pre-Baf­tas bash

Dramatic skies poured outside on the eve of the Baftas, but the intimate corners and warming fireplaces of 5 Hertford Street drew in Britain’s best-loved talents and Hollywood stars for the annual Charles Finch and Chanel party. Emily Blunt and Tom Ford kissed hello, before collecting glasses of champagne and going over to greet Gwendoline Christie and Giles Deacon. As the mariachi band played a lively set, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, George MacKay and Minnie Driver chatted together, while Bel Powley and Douglas Booth unwound after a busy day, having first attended a birthday lunch for Powley’s mother, before the Simone Rocha A/W 24 fashion show, declaring with intent: ‘Now we can relax!’

Bob Geldof and Mariella Frostrup linked arms to lead the charge down to dinner, followed by Isla Fisher, who was admiring the interiors. Once everyone was seated, Charles Finch addressed the room: ‘It has been an incredible year for cinema,’ he said, also paying homage to his co-host Chanel and its historic affinity with film – creating haute-couture outfits for productions such as the New Wave Last Year at Marienbad, and countless memorable red-carpet looks. Over lobster salad and poussin, conversation and wine flowed: the nominees Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were deep in conversation, and Richard E Grant caught up with his Saltburn director Emerald Fennell. Last year’s winner Emma Mackey was all smiles in anticipation of presenting the Rising Star Award, saying, ‘It’s quite mad, I’ve no idea who will get it, so I hope I don’t mess it up.’ It was almost midnight when guests began to descend on the dancefloor, where the party was only just beginning.

Who would play you in a film of your life?

‘Saoirse Ronan – she would make me very fabulous.’

Your all-time favourite soundtrack

The movie that changed your life

‘Dead Poets Society. It showed me the power of storytelling and solidified the fact that I wanted to be an actor.’

A silver-screen icon you’d like to meet

‘Gena Rowlands is my absolute idol – I’m holding out hope.’

Remember… the people I find beautiful are the people who inspire me. I love unusual beauty like Peggy Guggenheim, who had incredible style and taste. Gina Rowlands is also someone I think of as beautiful. I like women like that. I like men like that. It's not all necessarily about the Best Body or the Best Hair. I think it's much more important to do incredible things with your life. — Caitríona Balfe, Cara (magazine), August 2016

Lancon 6 Paris, Day 2 14 April 2024 Liveblog (part 3)

Without being able to play in Outlander, fans can take photos next to replicas of the sets.

Lauren Lyle comes on stage to answer questions from Outlander fans

What do Karen Pirie and Marsali have in common? According to Lauren Lyle, they both have no patience, especially with men.

When Lauren Lyle left Outlander in season 6, she was unsure if she would return to the show as she had other opportunities and season 8 was not yet confirmed. Having the opportunity to return to Outlander was something special for her.

She remembers the script reading session for the first episode of season 8 in the Great Hall of the first seasons with the entire team. A moment that was filled with emotions since everyone was crying. As is the case when reading scripts, each actor says their character name and their own name. She was the first to do it, for the last time, for the reading of this script, which was a special moment for her.

Lauren Lyle is asked about the Marsali-Laoghaire and Marsali-Claire relationships? Lauren Lyle thinks Marsali will never forget where she comes from, she's a MacKimmie and she has some of the same feistiness. With Claire, Marsali has a more loving mother relationship. Marsali is far ahead of her time and thanks to Claire, she can discover everything about medicine.

Outlander Addict tests fans' knowledge of the series with different quizzes at Land Con 6

John Bell, Sophie Skelton, Richard Rankin and Charles Vandervaart come to say goodbye to fans before returning to Scotland to film season 8 of Outlander.

Landcon 6 Day 2 Paris 14 April 2024 Liveblog (part 2)

Live my life as an extra

At Land Con 6, a participant talks about her experience as an extra in Outlander during a very interesting conference. She was also an extra on the prequel Outlander: Blood of my Blood, currently filming, but cannot speak about that experience at this time.

First panel of the afternoon with Joey Phillips

Joey Phillips would love to work with Cillian Murphy if he had the chance. If he could play a superhero, he would choose either Batman or Spider-Man. Regarding the last one, he says that unfortunately he is not very good at acrobatics.

Joey read Outlander books 7 and 8 as his character is in these novels and it allowed him to learn more about himself. He should start the ninth volume soon.

Joey indicates that thanks to the length of season 7, the production was able to remain fairly faithful to the novel. He adds that for season 8, there will be differences with the books since it will be necessary to conclude the series. He doesn't know yet how the series will end but he thinks it will be amazing.

Now it’s time to learn some traditional dances at Land Con 6.

If you want to complete your collection of Outlander goodies, there are many booths at The Land Con 6 convention.

Landcon Day 2 Paris 14 April 2024 Liveblog (part 1)

The day begins with a show at Land Con 6

The (very nice) show presented at Land Con 6 has ended, it's almost time to meet the cast of Outlander in panels.

The cast of Outlander arrived on stage for a group panel!

How do they feel about the end of the series? Sophie Skelton says there will be sadness as they are a family and will no longer be able to see each other every day. However, she adds that they're also excited to leave their characters in good shape at the end of the series (or at least some of them).

Lauren Lyle says Land Con is her favorite convention, she's really grateful for the fans, and she's really happy to be back.

Richard Rankin & Sophie Skelton come together for a panel

What do they not like about each other's character? Sophie says that she doesn't like that Roger doesn't know what he wants to do in life, it also makes her a little sad for him. For his part, Richard says that what he doesn't like about Brianna is that she invents the matches and that it ends up burning down her parents' house.

What did Outlander bring to their lives? Sophie Skelton says she learned a lot from the character of Brianna and that the cast of Outlander also became a second family to her. Richard Rankin, for his part, highlights the fact that thanks to this experience, he has the possibility of choosing the projects on which he wants to work (or not) in his free time.

Sophie Skelton tells an anecdote about filming that also happened to her in real life. While filming a scene in which there was a close-up of her hands and Brianna's ring, she realized that she had lost that ring. They then looked all over the set for it before Sophie realized that it had slipped in her pants and gotten stuck in one of her socks after going to the bathroom and getting dressed .

A similar story played out in real life. While visiting a castle with Richard, she lost a ring that her mother gave her and that she holds dear. They then searched everywhere for the ring in the pouring rain before, once again, Sophie realized that the ring was stuck in one of her socks.

Richard and Sophie are asked about the scene in the caravan in which the production decided to put music by Phil Collins. Richard indicates that he did not see the scene and that he did not know that there was this music. Sophie, for her part, rewatched season 7 before filming season 8 and admits that this music reminds her of an ad in which there is a gorilla. So she jokingly said that she was looking for a gorilla in the scene and Richard jokingly said to her something like: “Didn’t you see me?” ".

They laugh among themselves saying that it would be funny if, in season 8, Brianna used the nickname "my gorilla" towards Roger.

This is the start of Romann Berrux's panel

Romann returns to the scene in which Fergus gets his hand cut and explains the process used to achieve this scene. He indicates that he was in London for a whole day so that the team could make a reproduction of his arm. He had to spend 8 hours without moving with his arm in a mold. After that, the production had a perfect reproduction of his arm.

During filming, his arm was stuck in his costume and the fake arm was used throughout the scene. He adds that the fake arm was equipped with small cables filled with blood and that the technical team had a remote control to allow the blood to spurt out when Fergus had his hand cut.

Romann is asked about the scene between Fergus and Randall in Madame Elise's brothel. He thinks the scene was as hard for him to shoot as it was for Tobias Menzies, who is one of the cushiest people he knows.

He admits that there was a lot of preparation beforehand, in particular to get those around him to accept this scene, to make them understand what this scene represented but also to define what he agreed to do or not. He adds that between takes, Tobias didn't dare look him in the eyes, probably to stay in character.

Romann knew in advance that his adventure in Outlander would come to an end. At the time, he was a little sad about giving away his character. It was especially afterward that he was sad to have had to abandon a character that he cherished so much, loved to play and for which he was given a lot of freedom.

Joey Phillips and Izzy Meikle-Small take the stage for a new panel

Joey Phillips really likes the scenes in which he has to operate, they are very realistic scenes. He remembers the scene where they meet William's character who has a pus-filled abscess, it seemed so real. Izzy asks Joey not to remind her of this scene because she really doesn't like pus.

Like yesterday, Izzy says it was difficult for her to find common ground with Rachel who is extremely religious. However, she adds that this character taught her a lot of things.

Joey admits he didn't know much about the Quakers before starring on the show. He did a lot of research on the subject and found their faith very interesting. He adds that a difficult aspect of his role was finding the right balance between the fact that his character is really down to earth and that he wanted him to be a warm person.

Did they cry while watching Outlander? Like yesterday, Joey said he cried watching a scene between Caitriona Balfe and Mark Lewis Jones that took place in the first part of season 7. He was watching the scene on the plane so he laughingly said that it It was because of the altitude that he cried. Izzy admits that she too cried during the first part of season 7 when Claire returns to her room after Brianna and Roger went through the stones.

The panels continue and this time we find Duncan Lacroix and Steven Cree

Was there room for improvisation in the series? Duncan Lacroix said that it was not really allowed that there was a person in charge of checking that the script was respected. If he improvised, it was because he had forgotten his lines.

Which characters would they have liked to have had more scenes with? Steven responds that he would have liked to have had more scenes with Duncan's character, Murtagh. They also would have liked to have had the chance to tour with Tobias Menzies.

Steven Cree has fun regularly imitating Jamie and Claire while answering questions from fans.

Charles Vandervaart is his turn on stage

Charles didn't know the hype around the series before being in Outlander. He realized the extent of the fan support during the season 7 premiere. He thought it would be a small event with the cast but when he got out of the car, there were hundreds of people.

Landcon 6 Day 1, Live blog (part 3)

Steven Cree is back for a new panel

To play the role of Ian, Steven trained a lot with the wooden leg in order to have the right physical appearance but he also thought a lot about the mental state of a person who would be affected by the same disability at that time.

What ending would Steven want for Jamie and Claire in Outlander? Steven jokes that he doesn't care because he doesn't watch the show but he hopes the ending will be satisfying for fans.

He evokes a possible ending for his own character, once again in a humorous tone, specifying that the producers will never agree nor the fans: Ian dies while making love to Jamie.

Steven Cree is disappointed to have to finish his question-and-answer session because panels are his favorite part of a convention.

It’s César Domboy’s turn to answer fans’ questions

How was Caesar chosen to star in Outlander? He says it’s a classic process through an audition. As Romann Berrux had played the role as a child, they looked for another French actor and he was on the short list of actors competing for this role.

César admits that, when he arrived in the series, he did not understand the Scottish accent. He had panic attacks and confided that he also learned Sam's text to know when it was his turn to speak.

The funniest scene to film? For César, it is one of the scenes from Brianna and Roger's wedding where Fergus and Marsali have to dance. They had to learn the dance for a week and shot the scene all night on a Scottish plain in bad weather. He remembers that the camera was placed very far away and that they suspected that we would not necessarily see them on screen, but they were made to do the dance again and again. In the final rendering, we see them for about a second in the background but they have a good memory of it regardless.

New panel at Land Con 6 with David Berry and Charles Vandervaart

Charles Vandervaart was still filming last night in Scotland and flew overnight to attend the convention. He can't say too much about the scene he was filming.

How did they manage to create the father-son bond so quickly? Charles says David was one of the first to hang out with him off set and they spent a lot of time together

David describes the character of William as someone who is strong-hearted and courageous. For his part, Charles describes Lord Gray as someone who is loyal, he is good to the people he loves and he does everything to ensure that they are safe and loved.

Charles tells an anecdote about his casting: after being chosen for the role, the production sent him to New York and he stayed there for three days just so that on the last day his eyebrows would be plucked. It was a wish of the production for the first scene he shot when William meets Brianna.

This is the end of the panels for this first day. The actors will now do their autographs with the fans.
