Gerard Butler as Jamie Fraser in Outlander

[JenniferNickell13]

OMG, Gerard Butler IS Jamie Frasier. This video proves it, & he's Scottish to boot. It gave me goose bumps. Please pick him!

[musiclovinggurl123]

HOLY SHIT I PEED MYSELF WHEN I SAW THE TITLE.

Excuse my happiness, but now I love the books more HAHA!

[PatriciaDaniela2008]

Somewhere have send this link to Diana Gabaldon???? Maybe she can make dreams true

[eva1965]

I complete agree! He´d be fantastic. And don´t let them choose an american as a scot!!! American gesture and mimic is so different from that of european actors.

[sunshinebutter]

Whats 2:44?

[rummywench]

@sunshinebutter I'm pretty sure the picture you're referring to is a photoshop involving Rob Roy's plaid, and Gerard.

[sunshinebutter]

@sunshinebutter Thanks. Tried to figure out what the clip was in another 'Gerard Butler as Jamie Fraser tribute' video. So that answered that question

[FairJuno3]

ROGER, ROGER!!!! GERARD AS ROGER!!!

[cyndane090650]

@FairJuno3 Yes, better as Roger! Too old to play Jamie when he was young. Should be Ewen McGregeor, but soon!!!

[23smell]

ONLY GERARD BUTLER!!! He is scottish, handsome, tall, strong. Isn't he Jamie?

[aefa40]

Oh WOW!!! Having just finished reading the books, this video just blew me away. Gerard Butler IS Jamie Fraser and Sienna Miller is just how I imagine Claire to be. Fantastic choice. Also love your choice of music too. Thanks for this video, Rummywench. I know I shall be watching it here in Ireland time and time again. Superb.

[Kylabelle1]

great video - terrific choice for Jamie. Please tell me they didn't really cast Catherine Heigel as Claire I just found some movie clip saying it has been done.

[1handers]

Jamie is perfect just as I imagined him to be Unbelievable to see him brought to life.

[Krohvanni]

Good choice but I think that Matthew McConaughy would be better.

[maxelia2]

thanks for the information ,,,rummywench

[rummywench]

The lady playing Claire is Sienna Miller with the curly brown hair from Casanova. The music is Whenever,Wherever by Shakira.

[maxelia2]

anyone knows the name of this song from Shakira

[satchnsagesmom]

@maxelia2  ---Whenever, wherever

[debikay22]

Uh...YEAH! Who cares how old he is... That is Jamie!

[Arttakra]

Gerard Butler is the only Jamie for me, his so hot and his really Scottish!!!!

[mariecolle]

Michael Praed est plus jeune !

[hanna7506]

OH MY GOD YES! him as jamie and the lady who ever she is for claire...

[TheRoseRedX]

Gerard Butler would make an exceptional Jamie!! Very Sexy!! Exactly like I pictured him!!! Who is the girl playing Clare?

[TheRoseRedX]

Gerard Butler would make an exceptional Jamie!! Who is the girl playing Clare?

[deaosbo]

good job on video

[Purluc]

No question What So Ever. Gerard Butler would be the man I'd cast as Jamie Fraser. He has the Look, the Voice and the Swagger.

[RKWilder]

Of all the actors I have seen suggested for Jamie Fraser, Gerard Butler is the one I see in playing the role. He's a big, broad man, and absolutely gorgeous. I omly hope that if and when they ever cast this movie, the producers do not disappoint those of us that love Jamie and Claire.

[spikelilgirl]

Hmmmm, just started reading the series and, yep, he would make an amazing Jamie!

[brtudor1]

The entire time i have been reading the OUTLANDER series I have seen Gerard Butler as Jamies. I can not imagine ANYONE being any better for the part of Jamie Fraser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a series....What an actor to play him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[geminidays]

What film is the photo @ 0:22/3:13 from & who is the actress? Great job on this video, love the music too! Thanks De'ann

[geminidays]

I love the music to your video, it was perfect and so is Gerry Butler hands down. technology can take care of alot when it comes to age, eye & hair color but that kind of charisma & raw sensuality is a rare jewel, OMG !!

[sadiiqa]

oh what a ridiculous song to put to this!

[Animelover844]

Gerard will be perfect for Jamie

[Animelover844]

Gerard Butler will be the perfect "Jamie" He has all qualification in him and with new tecnology they will make him look 22 and perfect for 44 or older.

[prettycoke]

Are guys in Scotland as hot as Gerard Butler? Seriously, if they are, I will be on my over there!!

[BPThsSHUFFLER]

He's perfect for Jamie... I love him for the role... Diana! He's the One!

[JeanJ1954]

Josh HolliwaY FROM "Lost"

[MadTeaPartyInc]

YES PLEASE

[Booklady116]

Gerard Butler is way to old for the part of Jamie and Sienna Miller, while quite lovely to look at, couldn't act her way out of a paper bag!

The search must go on...

[MsTurton]

Not that I don't think Gerard Butler is great...but not Jamie.

[gunnarb11]

i would cast american actor Garrett Hedlund. he's a young, smokin' hot actor. handsome but good natured face, big and tall with a deep, rich voice. he's also an outstanding actor. all the ladies would pay $ to see him in a kilt on the big screen.

[mamadoelker]

tO SMALL

[callol56]

sorry but I just don't think that he has the power of the character of Jamie. When I read the books I have somebody like Liam Neeson in my mind...a big gorgeopus brute of a man! Neeson was spectacular as Rob Roy and I guess that that has coloured my judgement somewhat!

[McQueenOfTheSouth]

Gerard is perfect as Jamie. No he is not too old, as life was hard back then. If he looked young and baby faced it would be a joke. How bout David Wenham as Stephen Bonnett?

[mrsoverwork]

Gerald although great and a Scot ,is not the perfect Jamie- He need to be of that time, over 6ft wild, rough, great body handsome Highland warrior as there was in those days .Come on guys i am a scot there must be some gorgeous highland warrior floating around who would be great-Not an American no way !!!

[Louizalass]

I haven't heard Gerard Butler's voice. If he was to play Jamie he'd have to have a verra, verra, deep and raspy voice, y'ken?!!

[mizmagick1]

Gerald Butler is perfect as Jamie mid life and I also agree that Sienna Miller fits my image as Claire. If the movie takes Jamie from early twenties to grandfather, one actor portraying all ages may be an impossible challenge. I like his weathered look. After all, he has not had an easy life.

[selinsg]

Never thought Sienna Miller for Claire. But, I must say she DOES fit the role. I wonder....

[julbie]

He is TOO OLD!!!

[lofrm]

Gerry Butler could be an amazing Jamie and Hollywood could get him to look young enough. I love the fictional character (on my 3rd read of the entire series) and would not like to see the movie made unless Gerry played Jamie.

He is the cat's meow grrrr

[fuzzypoodleslippers]

Frankly, I would have a happy fit if they made Outlander into a movie. There are a couple people I can think of to play Jamie...and if Gerard didn't play him he could play Dougal because he'd be epic at that role too. :P

[alohalways]

Gerard Butler would make Jamie Fraser come alive..as long as he could be made to look young enough which I think he can! He is a great actor and has all the magnetism needed - he is perfect for the part!

[eveelsnosila]

I can't picture many others playing this part. Yeah, he's not as young as Jamie was in the first book. But Jamie had a hard life! He had to be rugged. And Gerard is so steamy, just like Jamie. I'd say Ewan McGregor would be my second choice, but Jamie had a large presence, and I can't see Ewan having that.

[Liliantere6]

Yes, yes... I´m looking a lot here in youtube and Gerard Butler is teh one!!! Congrats for your work. Really great. He´s nose, body, and with short and long hair reminds me to Jamie... I hope we´re knowing sth about the film soon!!!

[beccaforgerry]

jamie ist nur zu beginn 23 jahre alt, ( das kann heute ein stylist sicher leisten) in allen weiteren folgen ist er 20 Jahre älter, und somit der einzig richtige beste jamie fraser !! danke, tolles video

[rebcal72]

Gerard is the perfect Jamie, tall ahndsome and Scottish. He would have no trouble playing young Jamie and he is ruggedly hansome which is a must for that day and age, no room for pretty boys. He must have the look that he can commit murder then love you like there is no tomorrow (rough and ready lol). Jamie has left big shoes to fill and i reckon Gerard has the right sized foot. He is perfect and answers all my ideas about picturing Jamie and i will be picturing him as Jamie from now on...

[ama1063]

Gerry is too old now to play Jamie. There is no way he could pull off being a 22-year old!

[mmmacca]

Having read all the seven books so far i think Gerard Butler would make a great Jamie just what I imagined

[beccaforgerry]

Gerry ist der perfekte James Alexander M, Mc Fraser, wir hoffen auf die Verfilmung > mit Gerry als Jamie und das nicht erst in 10 Jahren. Danke für das schöne Video

[aevan36]

i love it. it works so well.

i hope this movie happens. and i ope it does the books credit.

[ste40a50]

fantastico che figo della malora

[RenBri66]

I can't believe that Gerard Butler is in this video...he's exactly the man I was imagining would be great for Jamie's role...he is one hot and sexy man!

[songbirdsearching]

I just started reading Outlander. In my mind Gerard Butler would fit the part of Jamie Frasier.

"aye canno belive a movie 'as not been dun yet, ye ken?"

[fmveach]

I completely agree, I was just watching a movie with Gerard and thought many different times throughout the movie that he would be a great Jamie, then I saw this! Excellent choice, scotts, red hair, tall, well built and quite handsome and charming!!

[Tgross40ish]

Gerard Butler is the true embodiement of the " Jamie" character. He will be what I picture when I read and re-read the books.

[judyremis]

I  was never aware of Gerry till now. He will ALWAYS be Jamie too me! She is a good Claire. I LOVE this song, it is perfect for Outlander.

[judyremis]

OMG, that is so wonderful! I play it all the time! Gerry is Jamie! Show this too the Hollywood types, and he is a shoe in. Yes, Marzzie, I agree, please mke this movie!

[Marzzie1973]

Dear God,

I would love to see Gerard Butler play Jamie. Hollywood can work their magic with makeup and make him look younger. Don't let them give him fake abs like in 300. I pray to see Gererd completely naked in the sex scenes. Oh how I would pay my last dime to see that! Please God make Hollywood make this movie happen, Ah yeah and please cast Kate Beckinsale as Clair. Amen.

[TheresJ]

Now we're talking! I'm dying to see the movie, if they could make one..

[judyremis]

Me too!

[hotchocolate5311]

Perfect! I have not seen better. This is my second time reading the series in about 8 years and I love it still.....wow....to be Clare.

[drkayign]

This is dumb - Gerald Butler is 40 yeas old. Jamie is supposed to be 20!

[margo3883]

There are 6 books so far in "Outlander".

Jamie is 23 to 25 in just TWO of them.

At the rest of the saga Jamie is 40+ to 50+.

He's not an eternal 2o+ lad....!

[delfi67]

Solo nei rpimi libri Jamie ha 20 anni!!! Quindi Gerry E' JAMIE!!! Mi spiace dirtelo, ma non può esistere attore + adatto x la parte! XD

[DancingInTheHeather]

Jamie is 43ish in most of the books in the outlander series and is only 23 in 2 out 6/7. And it is not dumb... You just didn't get your facts straight.

[drkayign]

Maybe you should get *your* facts straight. The suggestion is 'Gerald Butler in Outlander'. Not Gerald Butler in books 3-7. He is too old to play the Jamie Fraser of Outlander.

[DancingInTheHeather]

Outlander is the name that the film (if their is one) will have and the film is susposed to be of the first 3/4 books... I'm sorry for being rude but this video isn't dumb.

[drkayign]

*sigh* the question is Who would play the best Jamie Fraser in the Outlander movie.? Not in the subsequent movies based on the other novels. Sure, let's film the entire Outlander movie with vaseline smeared all over the lens so we can blur out his wrinkles so if and when any other movies are made he'll look the part. Like some others have said just because he is scottish and handsome doesn't mean he is the only or best choice for Jamie Fraser.

[drkayign]

I just don't think that Gerald Butler can pull of a 23 year old VIRGIN! I mean... really :p

[MsHurryCane]

I agree that Gerard Butler will make the role of Jamie Fraser come alive and so would Rachel Weitz bring the role of Clair alive. She has a strong face and physicality that a woman who went back into time and survived. But no one can be Jamie but Gerard. That is who I see even though he is described as red headed in the book.

[fuzzyslippers87]

*gasp* Rachel Weisz (sp?) would be so CUTE in the role! I can definitely see that! But honestly, Gerry must take the role of Jamie. He was born for it!

[AngunaWoolf]

ein tolles video!

gerard butler gibt einen tollen jamie ab.

[kietacariad]

wow it seems I am not the only one to think this!! I dont agree with Sienna Miller as Clair though.. maybe Kate beckinsale I would looove Elizabeth mastrantonio but alas she is too old for the part

[cthrn555]

you really did a great job with this video! I have read all 6 of the DG books and now I think of GB as Jamie when I read! Who is singing ? the music is perfect also! do more ...you are very talented

[17110482]

Gerry is the best

[cthrn555]

This video is GREAT. I would travel through time for a man like Jamie!!! I think GB would be a great Jamie.

[sarah7589]

I love you Jamie!!!!!!!!

[JEP177777]

You make a great case for Gerry Butler! He is my choice too -- he has the humor and guts to play JAMIE FRASER. (Can I be Claire?)

[sarah7589]

at O:15 1:04 and 2:20 he IS Jamie Fraser!!!

[hrtland2]

In my opinion the ONLY Jamie

[scrapmomJan]

Gerard Butler is the PAIRFECT Jamie! He is a verra large man and could easily play the role. His talent is amzing. The only thing is jamie can't sing and Gerry can! (sigh). I think Gerry and Jamie and my two favorite men also.

[Meilandra]

perfect

[9anita1]

This is SO good video and he is SO hot! and he would definitely be the best actor for this role. Maybe he isn't as tall and big as Jamie, but it is a minor point. I LOVE Gerard Butler<3

[judyremis]

Oh yes!

[sionsidhe9]

Red hair does not make Gerard Butler Jamie, even an older Jamie. Jamie had a way about him a kindness and a self mocking humor a passion that I just don't see in Gerard Butler, I at one time was a huge fan of his but of late he just seems so cocky like fame got to him. I will always admit he has talent just not the range of talent to play Jamie

[louiseg01]

With a few good nights sleep, a facial or two, and a week or two under Mark Twights tutelage, I know for sure Gerry could convince me he was the young Jamie, but it would have to be filmed soon. Unfortunately I don't think Gerry would be tempted by this film.

[100percentkiwimade]

Just one question, is 'Outlander' the other title of the first story to the Jamie and Claire series? Because I have the whole series but the first book I have is called 'Cross Stitch'. I was just wondering, if they're different titles for the same book?

[BrynnG11]

yeah, cross stitch and outlander are the same thing, outlander is just the title that was released to the north american market

.. and just my two cents, but gerard butler and jamie are my two favorite men ever! a collaboration of the two would just kill me! , with that said i actually hope there is never a movie made of the amazing books, they are too good to ruin with hollywoods perception of jamie and claire.

[sionsidhe9]

You are all fixated on Gerad Butler because he's Scottish and that is the ONLY thing he has in commom with Jamie. His age, features, height, hair color and body type are all wrong. Jamie was tall, a red head with a warriors build and in his twentys!, personally I can't really think of any actor Scottish or otherwise who would be right for jamie

[margo3883]

The Outlander saga continues as far as reaching the age of 45 and more for Jamie.

Therefore, Gerard can definitely portray JF after Culloden

He IS tall(6.2) , well build(he was an impressive Leonidas in "300") and Scottish.

And he can always dye his hair.

[Puffnstuff043]

Yes he'd make a perfect Jamie..just need to give him platform shoes or something lol...Jamie is supposed to be huge. No Orlando bloom for Jamie!!! I saw that in another clip. Feel like a giggling school girl watching this...men in kilts ahhhh....lololol. Great theatrical shots..the movie is going to be a hit I just know it :)))

[bezzasnix]

This guy could be him. He just needs to be a lot BIGGER. Jamie is enormous, at 5'2 I stand where Claire describes, on a 6ft tall man..... So Jamie must be around 6'5. His nose isnt quite right either... Maybe bulk him up and cast him with a good Claire. It's not her from Casanova. It's her hair, but that aint her.

[oboeandbagpipes]

i love the way you did this - really caught different moods. And thanks for tinging his hair a wee bit red - I keep trying to see him like that and have trouble getting away from Gerry's dark waves. Great job!

[jater416]

you had me for a second, I thought you meant they had made a movie of Outlander and I didnt know it, lol!

I agree, he will seriously rock as Jamie! LOVE the books!

[faw113]

i agree.. he would do an amazing job playing jamie.....

[LarsUlrichFan1988]

wow, the picture on 2:32 looks really good! The red hair really suits him! Gerry, you are the perfect Jamie!!

Though the song seems a little bit odd in this video, good job done on the red hair!

[yowassupbro2]

wow, i'm a straight guy but even i'm drooling

[SCSA81]

Gerard is perfect for Jamie!

[goodwenator]

Gerard is a must cast for Jamie. Any other would just fall flat.

[twilightxoxo]

PERFECT!!! To play Jamie!!!

I find his face pefect for jamie at 1:18, just if the hair was a bit shorter!!!

<3 love jamie!!!

[gojiberriesoflove]

oh god where have I been?!!!???

This guy is gorgeous

[Bikicat]

Not bad for a first try!  Keep up the good work!

[penlyn1]

Clive Owen as Jack Randall? Perfect!

[Tallleggylady]

Hey all you Diana Gabaldon fans. Go to her website and click on Diana'a Home Page. You will see that they are negotiating to make Outlander into a motion picture!!!

thought you'd like to know.

[funkybuddha]

Awesome pics, I'm pratically drooling right now!

[Neyva2007]

I have to say I am partial to Gerry playing Jamie, but I have seen many other good choices too...at this point I think there is so many awesome choices its a crying shame not a soul from production companies have biten into this story!!! The possibilities are endless!! Sweet video!

[bibe0007]

I just finished Voyager - and Gerry's face pops up as Jamie all the time - his vice - facial expressions - you have created an excellent video. I always see, Gerry is perfect as Jamie, or Gerry couldn't play Jamie. I don't care - Gerry is Jamie - thanks for making that real for me.

[RonnieOfTheEarth]

supernice footage!

[akemi86]

I'm so happy to know that i'm not the only one who thinks that Gerard is perfect for Jamie fraser!!! thank you!! i love the series. What do you think about Clive Owen as Johnathan Randall?

[PrplRabbit]

Oh god, the best pics at 1:57 and 2:23 - he looks so wild and sexy. Gerard fits as Jamie, the eyes, he's Scottish, good looking, and it playful. Perfect clip - I loved it.

[katielynnjohn]

This was so good, I can't believe I haven't seen it before! You did alot of work putting this together. I only hope the powers that be will hurry up and make a real movie before our baby Gerard is too old to play our other baby Jamie.

[ssgreaves]

Great Job! Maybe you can get enough votes to have someone make a movie!!!

[GiGirl030]

You did great on this vid. Any ideas for just Claire?

[ManaTgurl]

too bad butler couldnt play jamie if the outlander movie came out...well...he could do the later books...

[Catbaby9]

OMG!!! Absolutely fantastic! Very well done!

I am in love with Gerald Butler as Jamie!

[writer8788]

OMG! I loved the book, and I ADDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOORRREEE Gerry Butler, and seeing the two combine is every fantasy I have come true. Keep it up!

[MyDruidss]

I love the guy and think he is perfect as Jamie. I had never considered Sienna for Claire but she sure looks good in this!

[spikecat10]

Loved the way you put this together! Did you get the kilt pics (sigh!) from the movie Mrs Brown?

[rummywench]

No, the stills I could find from Mrs Brown didn't include any good ones of Gerry in his kilt. The ones I have were either photoshopped or from the movie Atilla, where he wore a kilt-like garment.

[Cloudette91]

uhm...great video but...I think gerry is better as dougal!!!

[swissy8808]

Excellent job for your first go! Keep it up!!

[mysticmaggie]

The more I watch this video, the more Gerry Butler BECOMES Jamie...it's so excellent!! Definitely one of the better Outlander ones on here!! Also, thanks for the info...

[rummywench]

Thank you all again for all the encouragement! The music is Whenever Wherever, by Shakira. Not Scottish I know, but I searched my songs and it just fit. The black and white stills at the end are from Timeline and Attila. They were color originally, but I changed them, and also pretty much all the pictures I used, in one way or another.

[poetryqn]

Splendid! Not only technically wonderful - the details like the stag broach and red hair, the juxtaposition w the music and images, but inspired as well - the casting of Butler and Miller, the choice of music (what *is* that? It's perfect!)and each image suggesting a particular scene in the books..oh, this was awesome! Thank you so much for creating it and posting it! It keeps me in rapt anticipation for the next installment of Jamie and Claire. EXCELLENT!

[mysticmaggie]

The black and white stills at the end...what movie are they from? Excellent video!!!

[weeknightingale]

Splendid!

[lexwritr]

omigod! my absolute FAVORITE book! And I have to say, as I was reading, I was imagining Gerard as Jamie...God, that would be a wonderful movie... :)

[FantasmaLuna666]

Wow! I only saw this 'cause I ADORE Gerry in many ways, but I haven't heard this song in so long! You've brought back a lot of memories for me! Thanks!

[Hilundlass]

This video has all the things in my fantasy...hunky man, kilt, long hair, funky music, and that the man looks like a Jamie Frasier! Hawt, hawt, hawt!!

[rummywench]

Thank you so much for the all the nice things you've said! Claire is Sienna Miller from "Casanova". She had the right hair and the period costume I was looking for.

[poetryqn]

What is the music you used? I love it and want it for my I-pod.

[ACELESAGE]

i think you did a great job, fab choice in gerry music goes great! verra profesional u should do this 4 a livin

[daisy738]

GERRY is JAMIE and the girl in your super video IS ALSO CLAIRE...WOW

[snowhorses]

sweet, I agree that we should somehow get the movie made of Outlander and the rest and Gerry should play the lead..... great job on the editing, I enjoyed your work.

[LadyRavensnark]

He's absolutely perfect - great job! Unfortunately the success of "300" has probably priced him out of the market for a project like Outlander.

[Mirtika]

I would chip in for a huge bribe to get Gerry cast as the adorable, lovable, warrior cutie Jamie. I love Jamie and I love Gerry!

Thanks. Fun music and hunky Scot!

Mir

[Jaqueline001]

You got really good pictures!!!! & with the red hair touched up!!! AWESOME!! lol!!! I smiled all the way through! Did you photoshop them? I have one on my profile page...have you seen that one? Thanx for making my day! :)

[rummywench]

Thank you! I found a free program on the web called GIMP which is great for manipulating images. Thats what I used for the red hair and blue eyes. Gerry's are more gray green. I'm going to check out your photo page now!
