The 36-year-old star also opens up to the magazine about showing her body in some steamy scenes from ‘Outlander’. “I have some insecurities,” she reveals. “My figure isn’t what it was at 26, but it’s important that we show real woman onscreen. Who you are as a person is more important than having a perky butt.”
