"These two men, kissing under Jesus Christ, like they're supposed to be." - Sam Reid, 2022

Lestat's guide to dealing with being ghosted:

1) Start sh*t at a funeral
2) Punch a priest through the head
3) Succes!

"you have lestat being pissed that he's not paying him attention, just killing priests and smashing their heads in" lmaooo yes that's actually it. he's pissed without attention

I love the chemistry between Anderson and Reid... They do seem passionate about the show and their characters. So looking forward to watching episode 3! 😍💕

I remember when this show was first announced and all the trolls and haters dogged it without a chance, all because of Anderson’s casting as Louie. It was example after example of the worst kind of ignorance. I am so glad the show is as good as it is.

UPDATED:
The worst argument for the initial, negative responses to Louis’ race-swap was when the earlier trolls would justify their hateful comments by disguising them as a “critique”. First, how does one truly critique something one hasn’t experienced? By definition, you have to have seen or read a body of work in order to critique it. Instead, the trolls often “critiqued” Anderson’s casting (before the series even aired) by comparing it to ridiculous, make-believe, casting choices (e.g., an Asian woman cast as Blade or a 400lbs actor to play Captain America) in order to gaslight everyone into believing their hate was about something other than race. Let’s be clear, the disgusting vitriol and threats to boycott the show—potentially ending Anderson’s job—was all about skin color, which is the definition of racism and YES, being acutely aware of this is also being woke. To prove this, you do not have to make-up ridiculous castings, you simply can point to actual ones that ALL received the same type of backlash: Anna Diop/Starfire [Titans], Michael B. Jordan/Human Torch [Fantastic Four], Anandla Stenberg/Rue [Hunger Games], Moses Ingram/3rd Sister [Obi-Wan], Steve Toussaint/Corlys Vela [House of Dragons]. One can argue that each of these shows had artistic problems, but none of those problems are attributed to these specific actors and certainly not their race. So, where is the justification for the “critque”? There is a common, hate-filled denominator when Black actors race-swap a central character and to suggest otherwise is both insulting and lazy. So, If you have a history of critiquing the existence of Black people, whether in the arts or in general—you should also have a history of critiquing Black oppression! If you do not think racism exists or that people are treated differently, denied opportunities, or lack representation based solely on skin-color, please check your bias and say less!

Seeing how close they are in real life really helps explain why their onscreen chemistry is through the roof in every scene they share together.

[petboy]

Haha. This show is gold. I'm been waiting for a vampire show like this for a long time.

[laureneras]

The fact that Sam Reid is such an obvious Lestat fan boy playing our Brat Prince is such a blessing to this fandom!

[thenightowl]

im a little distracted by the way Jacob looked at Sam when he was answering his question. This is not about shipping or whatever I assure you its just his look has a lot of adoration for what his screen partner has to say. I think they have a beautiful working relationship!

[hanavesela]

To me the symbolism of the scene of characters kissing in front of the church altar meant methaphore for a wedding since they basically promised to spend eternity with each other.

[angelajade]

They have such an intense, beautiful chemistry together. They both are incredible actors and I am thankful that we get to watch all this unfold. Lestat and Louis just draw you into their world of pain and pleasure.

[dead_ones]

“two men kissing under Jesus Christ” I don’t know why that got me 😂

[juina]

Sam Reid really appreciates Anne Rice's works and he always has some interesting answers in these interviews. Loving this show and the chemistry between Louis and Lestat ♥️

[heartpng]

I love how the interviewer was like "wow yeah!" like she wasn't expecting them to go that in depth with their answers.

[jamangel]

BYE they are British and aussi??? They ate those accents up!!!

[odonata]

These two actors talking about their characters is like couples therapy goals. 😂 💕 This is definitely one of my favorite on screen pairings. I always feel that Interview With The Vampire is one of the best stories depicting domestic violence and dysfunctional relationships. Sam Reid is a beautiful screen god who I will worship forever. Jacob Anderson is so down to earth it elevates everything he does to high art. 🙌

[mrlana]

I like how they pay attention to each other when one speaks

[shannon]

I read all the books seen the movie from the 90’s one billion times . But this show is exquisite. Visually delicious, from the directing to the writing and the superb acting it’s an 11 out 10❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰

2:07 'I see you for everything you are and I accept you.' well Jacob, isn't that what *we all* need to hear at least once in our life?
