Balfe dropped by illustrator Oliver Jeffers’ Instagram Live session to play the role of Grey Crayon in a re-telling of The New York Times Bestseller The Day the Crayons Quit.
The “Outlander” star added a level of emotional depth to the role that will have you embracing that grey crayon of yours collecting dust in your drawer. Rumour has it Balfe spent the last few months method acting as an actual grey crayon in preparation for the role…..clearly that is a joke.
Balfe, 40, received a lot of praise online for turning an instant classic performance as the Grey Crayon.
