Outlander's Sam Heughan delights fans by reading from phone book at convention

Sam Heughan's voice has become known around the world as he plays the Scots accented Jamie Fraser in TV hit Outlander.

And fans have suggested his voice is so good that he would even sound swoon-worthy reading from a phone book.

It's now been revealed that The Men In Kilts star did exactly that - when he was with some fans during a meet and greet in the US.

Sam was appearing at the Sasnak City gathering when fans noticed a phone book that had been used earlier in the day as a prop.

He couldn't resist giving followers exactly what they wanted and the event site shared a series of photos taken by a fan at the time showing Sam reading off the numbers and addresses.

Georgian fan Patricia Shroeder wrote: "We always joke Sam could read from the phone book and make us swoon.

One month ago he indulged these Sassenachs by doing just that in his thickest Scottish accent. #dramwithsam #SamHeughan #theLaird #SamInSasnak."

Sasnak City shared the post, saying: "These ladies were DEFINITELY on the edge of full swoons! @SamHeughan thanks for being such an amazing guest & proving that we were right all along. You truly can make ANYTHING sound magical!!"

Patricia explained to fans: "The phone book was actually there by accident b/c they used it for a photo prop earlier. It just got returned to her at the table before they started. A happy coincidence."

Fans loved it and whilst some asked for a video, others suggested he should release the audio alone.

One fans said: "I need video of this. STAT."

Another added: "Now that is too funny! Too bad you couldn’t video it! How did he do it with such a straight face?"

And someone else observed: "He looks like he’s concentrating so hard & really into reading the phone book. How fun is this!?!?"
