Jonathan Bailey and Sam Heughan Feud Over Stallion Named Jack

We all want to be Jack right now.

Sam Heughan, best known as Jamie Fraser on Outlander, has spent a good chunk of his on-screen time in the saddle. Over the years, he’s developed a bond with a four-legged co-star … a horse named Jack.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Bailey from Bridgerton apparently didn’t want to settle for just any horse when he filmed Wicked. He specifically requested Jack.

According to Jonathan, Jack is a “legend.”

But Sam told Parade, “No, wait a minute… Jack is my horse,” lamenting that his trusty steed had apparently been “moonlighting” on Jonathan’s projects. He may have also added that Bridgerton “isn’t nearly as … entertaining and full of action as ours.” Okay, Sam.

In the middle of this love triangle stands Steve Dent Stunts, the highly respected team that trains and coordinates the horses who work on major productions. If Jack has a favorite actor, Steve Dent is not telling.

Jack, ever the professional, has presumably only commented, “Neigh. A horse never gives sloppy alfalfa kisses and tells.”

Go riding.
