Piggybacking off of my last post
I'm a little disappointed that they didn't cast younger actors. I feel like despite their age the vamps still very much have the mentality of whatever age they were when they transformed.
Lestat being a petulant 20 year old is part of his character. Can't imagine someone in their 30s behaving the same way. Also context is important when it comes to age. Lestat ran away from home at a young age it makes less sense for him to run off with his lover to start a career as an actor in his 30s.
Idk. Maybe I just want to see a bunch of 20 something's doing dumb things because it's relatable. (I'm in my 30s)
Edit: Also, don't tell me that it's because of a aging thing. A 25 yr old doesn't look that much different than a 30 year old.
