Sam Heughan has a loyal following thanks to his time on popular historical series, Outlander – and it seems that the star enjoys giving time back to his dedicated fans.
The actor, who plays Jamie Fraser in the period drama, recently made one fan's "dreams come true" by surprising her with a Zoom chat ahead of his recent podcast appearance.
Sam was getting ready to record an episode for Bourbon with Friends, in which he was talking about his own brand of whisky, Sassenach Spirits, when he jumped on a call with the host's friend, Melinda, who had recently suffered an accident.

Not only did he come on the show to talk whisky, he was able to make some people very happy."
"Melinda, a friend of ours, suffered a severe accident recently. She is a huge Outlander fan and her dream has been to meet Sam. In an act of kindness that speaks volumes to the person Sam is, he, without hesitation or pre knowledge we would ask, said he would love to speak with Melinda for a few minutes."
The post continued: "Melinda was also unaware this could be happening until about ten minutes prior to our zoom meeting. Melinda's face lit and her spirits were lifted! We are so happy Sam could make this dream a reality for her." How lovely!
