Lauren Lyle reveals she was a gymnast in Twitter Q&A
Lauren Lyle took part in a rapid-fire Q&A for fans on the Outlander Twitter account
STARZ has provided us with some more Droughlander fun just in time for the holidays. The sweet and spunky Lauren Lyle did a video answering some quick-fire question on the official Outlander Twitter account.
If you don’t know, Lauren plays the feisty Marsali Fraser on Outlander, adopted daughter to Jamie, wife to Fergus, and mother to an exponentially growing brood of children. I’ve met Lauren, and she is just as much of a firecracker as her character. The Q&A video showed us a great glimpse into her sense of humor.
Who knew that Lyle was a gymnast? She competed for Scotland and Great Britain for ten years and would have liked to go to the Olympics with it. If she wasn’t an actor, she’d want to be a radio DJ. She already has a great podcast called She’s a Rec’ so I’m sure she’d be amazing in radio.
Lauren Lyle is haunted by a raspberry leather beret at Christmastime
Yes, you read that right. Lauren’s father got her the hat one year, and no matter how many times she manages to “lose” it, it shows up wrapped and waiting for her every Christmas Day. Her “thanks dad” at the end of the story sounds a bit less than sincere.
Lauren’s got great taste in pizza! Her favorite is the classic Margherita (tomato sauce, cheese, and basil). “I don’t know why you’d have anything else other than the classic.” Don’t chew your pizza too loudly though because that’s her biggest pet peeve.
She did have one more serious moment in the Q&A when they asked what movie made her cry. Her answer was Eighth Grade because “it’s the most accurate representation of what it is to be a girl as a teenager and the horrors of that.” A horrific time indeed!
Lauren seems like she’d be a great BFF. I’d love to grab a pizza with her someday and just chat. Thank you, STARZ, for another enjoyable rapid-fire Q&A. I wonder who will be next.
