Jacob has to play and deconstruct a meticulous character dealing with grief, racism and identity while Sam is spending all his time and charisma being a bratty and horny drama Queen. Both are perfect. I love their portrayals so much.
I completely agree with you. In the older version Lestat used to be the interesting one, while Louis was the straight guy (no pun intended). But so far in this version Louis is the more complicated, more nuanced one. I love how, in this interpretation, Louis is no longer the everyman main character, the most sensible of them all who ends up being a bit boring and even annoying at times. This Louis is complex af. He's a worldly, capable person with roaring fire in him that has been repeatedly put out by the racist, homophobic society he lives in and all the expectations that weigh him down. And he still has to act all grateful because for a black gay man he is privileged. It makes so much more sense that a person who would be otherwise perfectly self-sufficient emotionally and confident, only feels seen for the first time when Lestat gives him the attention he deserves. And then when your "straight man" is this complex, you have to up your antihero's game. I love how they don't even try to pretend that Lestat is not absolutely deranged, he just goes all out.

Letstat and Louie are endgame. They can’t be without each other, it just takes time for them to get there. I can’t wait for season 3 when it’s all about Lestat as Sam Reid is perfect in the role.
Jacob has to play two roles here: One, a kind of lost man of the past with a N'awleans accent, navigating through treacherous times. The other, a jaded modern man of confidence and vast wealth and no discernable accent at all except American. He kills at both.
That's how I like people to be. Stop labeling as most are on a spectrum anyway. Giving these labels up would be accepting love with the same sex is normal and moral. Keeping them just gives idiots a way to other you stereotype and comes from homophobic religion when they wanted to control oppress people esp women' to widen the birth rate for army's and empire.
Some actors are just born to play certain characters and Sam is just Lestat. It's insane how good he is at playing him. Wonderful work. Honestly cannot wait to meet the real Lestat in season 3
Don't laugh at Louis. YOU try explaining to your significant other why your heart was dancing and then you chased a dog and 2 rats down an alleyway! Not that easy, huh?
He's actually not! I listened to the companion podcast where he was interviewed and Sam said he was actually nervous when he learned that much of the dialogue was in French. His sister knows french, but he had to practice a lot.
@@lillyf973 The caliber of acting and linguistic talent these men display is on a whole new level. Even Jacob Anderson, who is British, demonstrates flawless mastery of the African American Louisiana accents to a degree that astonishes Americans when we find his country of origin. Plus, in episode 4, both Lestat and Louis argue in French!
@@Elaiyel I think this is a British thing in general. Idk the actors coming from there are just supremely talented. If you check out Daniel Ezra, watch like one ep on all American and then watch his interviews there is no way you would be able to tell that man is actually British. It’s kinda creepy, but awe inspiring at the same time. 😅
@@remholloway2579 I am a great fan of both British and Australian actors. Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid do tremendous credit to their countries of origin by their respective master class performances. As an American, I don't know of any American actors who could have delivered such convincing and affecting performances. (& thanks, I'll check out Daniel Ezra!)
I love how well Sam acts out Lestat. He's my favorite actor for the role now. 2:05 "And the carousel comes around again" is one of my favorite line deliveries.
I'd guess beating in sinq, erratically, or faster than normal. He's got a musical ear so he might hear a rythem and think of tempo/dancing. He's french and they word things.... more poetically in romance languages. But lestat is a brat so it just makes him extra.
I love the show. I'm not a vampire thing fan but the actors and the story are great. I just wished we would have seen more if L&L's love before Claudia came in.
ever since I watched the movie Lestat has been my favorite person, he is so messy it hurts sometimes, but I can find reasoning in some of it, no matter what Lestat is my favorite
You know I don't know why but for some reason the actor who plays lestat reminds me of the actor who played Henry Fitzroy in that lifetime TV show blood ties.
I swear I have to watch the season again. They're so great. I can't wait to see the other characters in the following seasons. Omg!!! Just thinking of who they could pick to play Akasha!! And i wonder if they'll eventually do a Collab with the Mayfair witches!!
They are already planning on a crossover I’m assuming since they drop little hits about the witches in a couple Eps. I’m also wondering how they are going to do Queen of the Damned. I just finished reading the book and I think that’s the one I’m most excited to see.
You use a chemical straightener on the hair, and then you mold and lay the waves while it’s wet with some mousse, and then you dry it so it dries in that style.
My only problem with this show is that they made me fully hate lestat... When he is like the main character of the series, he's toxic and brutal like a bloodsucker gotta be but not that level of psycopath.. The rest of the show amazing ❤
I remember the brad pitt film & reading the book, was vaguely interested after seeing the trailer even though they changed it (adapted? Inspired by?) But definitely adding it to my to-watch list now!
I haven't seen the movie yet. My mom and I watched this season of it, I started reading the books. She saw the movie and said it was terrible. I'm trying to get her to watch it with me.
Watching the first ep of this last night. I like this "new Lestat" better than Tom Cruise. Stuart Townsend was the better actor for him but we'll see as the series progresses. it's a different adaptation for sure but I think it's pretty good so far.
Does anyone speak fluent French? Im just wondering how close to normal french it is. Like if I were to learn English, it is more formal than English, and certainly American speakers, use. So im curious if there is any french slang in there perhaps from the time period.

Good acting, horrible adaptation . Hope they don't do a remake of the crow because they make also swap Eric Raven with a black actor. Nothing against the actor playing louis here but c'mon, it does no justice to the real Louis.
Yes, they perfectly adapted him for TV to be a character that you genuinely like independent of his romance. Granted he still a messy sad boi just like Louis in the book but it’s easier to connect with him.
Louis is a library of confusion and Lestat can't read 😆
🤣🤣🤣
😆 🤣 😂 perfectly accurate 😂🧡
Nice 😂
Omg this is it 🤣🤣🤣
He's emotionally dyslexic 😔
I love how Sam portrays Lestat with such eloquent passion, dry but witty humor and frustrating explosive emotion.
exactly he is so complex in the best ways so even when he's acting out of pettiness because the tantrums, he throws are hilarious 🤣
He's like a whimsical Villanelle. Idk. I get similar vibes. He's more vocal though.
I feel like he has more flavour than Cruise's Lestat
He is PERFECT in this role.
He deserves an Emmy! He had big shoes to fill with Tom Cruise, but he’s crushing it, and putting his own twist on the character too
Jacob has to play and deconstruct a meticulous character dealing with grief, racism and identity while Sam is spending all his time and charisma being a bratty and horny drama Queen.
Both are perfect. I love their portrayals so much.

I still snort at Lestat simply answering 'yes' when Louis asked him if he was jealous. He kept it real LOL.
So real for it
Lestat's so crazy about Louis, like literally crazy it's endearing and disturbing 💀
Fr
He does a good job of dragging Louis onto the crazy train with him, hallucinations🤦♀️🤣 much?

Don't laugh at Louis. YOU try explaining to your significant other why your heart was dancing and then you chased a dog and 2 rats down an alleyway! Not that easy, huh?
Pretty sure Lestat does that when he's insecure or something similar. I read it somewhere.
“why do u do this lestat :(“
“well i like to do it :D i enjoy it :))”
Lestat’s laugh when Louis asked him if he’s enough is so disrespectful …but hilarious 😂
@0:19 Lestat is so possessive “I put you on this earth”😩
I love that line too
Couple goals and arguments...aside from the killing 🤣 oh god...
1:12 That little jog 😂 why is this man so extra
Lestat is the epitome of extra in the books. So on brand, lol.
Bruh did u see ep. 7??? Extra does not even begin to cover it lol
They on screen chemistry, tho. It seems so real and legit. Great casting and costume and set design
They’re incredible. Apparently they’re friends IRL
@nickimillennium3748 I wish you and I could be friends in real life but I'll never be cool enough, apparently 😕
I love the outfits of that period. Men looked so dapper
louis: ..am i not enough? 😢
lestat: LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
💀
😂😂😂😂
That funny running Lestat did killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I HEARD YOUR HEARTS DANCING 😭😭
Vampire couples are like real couples too. 🥰😍
Jacob does a damn good job with the accent. Sam too!
So devastated with the latest episode. lestat absolutely terrified me
As he should. That's in the characters nature.
Yeah he's an abusive manipulator that's kinda how he functions
1:08 the fact that Lestat laughed at this question only to end up craving Louie above all others. 😂
I missed that. " I heard your hearts dancing." That's fucked up
Y'all need to get away from that white man. Lmbgao
I heard your hearts DANCING
Sam must be from a French background his pronunciation is so good

It actually is.
Do watch it!
It’s funny and heartbreaking in equal measure.
I love the show. I'm not a vampire thing fan but the actors and the story are great. I just wished we would have seen more if L&L's love before Claudia came in.
That’s funny..But I laugh a lot at these two. 😁
The little run/skip he does after he GIGGLES 😂 so unserious Lestat.
1:47 I love this way too much 😂😂😂
Anyone notice that when Louis said creeper, the Creole came out
lol ima memorize every line cuz I watch all the eps so much! XD
Trust me I’m in the same boat. I already have some scenes down pact. I think this obsession is turning slightly unhealthy 😅
I love them, i love Jacob i love Sam.
They can be quite chaotic as a vampire couple.
I love them both so much
Don't know where you dug up the zany sitcom music, but it's hilarious!
It's from the Wii's Mii making app, I'm pretty sure 😌

I'm still hurting man....
I’m sorry boo

I can’t really watch most of this because I’ve now seen the cake Sam is carrying (lestat )
Lestat is my sexual orientation.
Oh honey nooooo! Absolutely he’s a great character but he’s the ultimate vampire fuckboy! Choose healthy partners please I beg you
Love this show!!!
My favorite domestic couple lmao
You know I don't know why but for some reason the actor who plays lestat reminds me of the actor who played Henry Fitzroy in that lifetime TV show blood ties.
THAT was pure post pleasure! thank you ( easing the withdrawals lol )
watching these videos to clear my mind from episode 5
💔yes
Somebody tell me what happpppenmmed (I only watched reaction videos abt this)
Just watch we will not spoil for you if it hasn’t been already, but I’m leaving a massive trigger warning for you my friend.
Though I can't stand Lestat's character he does make some good points 😆
I love the fact that Lestat is Bi. Gives us ladies some fantasy opportunities, too. 😍

I wonder how Louis got his hair like that? I like that style. I looked up the actor and his hair isn't naturally like that.
You use a chemical straightener on the hair, and then you mold and lay the waves while it’s wet with some mousse, and then you dry it so it dries in that style.
A curl activator can do it. No processing needed.
