Hi Virginia! I would really like to get your opinion on something that bothers me and I am not sure if I should be bothered. I understand why Lestat behaves all sexy and alluring in the show, why he is clothed that way (or rather not clothed) etc. That his hyper-sexualization would be a central point of this season has been clear for a long time ever since Sam started talking about the season years ago. But I wonder if AMC might have gone overboard with the marketing. All the posters were one thing. But at some point I was like "That's a lot...'". I mean just think of the media installations shown before the concert at the Beacon - that kind of thing. There is meta-commentary and then there is what is too much. I am also wondering what Sam thinks about this whole thing, which certainly we will never really find out.
What do you think?
Funny you mention Sam's thoughts, because he just confirmed that all the images we have of Lestat are approved by him —
He also discusses the darker aspects that come with the territory of his job —
The decent Sam fans? Nothing to worry about.
The subset of ghouls who maliciously target him because he plays Lestat? Well. 🙄
Anyways. It's a lovely interview. As I've said so many times, we got very lucky with Sam. ♥️
His breakthrough Australian role was in the ABC’s The Newsreader, but in the US he is sizzling screens as a vampire.
He subset of ghouls who maliciously target [Sam] because he plays Lestat?
(*wheezing*)
