I see what you mean about Gerard Way, even though his age is a huge drawback for me. But on the other hand Anne just said Levi Miller is perfect for the role and I was astonished for the opposite reason. I’m starting to think she pictures Armand as a literal child which makes no sense whatsoever?

I’m not locked into Gerard Way as Armand, just a suggestion I’ve gotten from ppl before.

Really, Anne? Levi is 13 now. Still a kid. Could be that she loved his acting, in addition to his physical features. I don’t know what her deal is with infantilizing Armand, but he’s not the only character AR sees as childlike. Even Gabrielle, an actual adult: “If there was any flaw in her it was perhaps that all her features were too small, too kittenish, and made her look like a girl.” – TVL

Levi could play little Andrei, though. His physical features meet my headcanon as kid!Armand, and look how cute he was as Peter Pan:

Hello, precious soul. You’ve been given a gift of a little chick. 🐣 It’s tiny and loves you. Please, take a good care of it.

♛*cupping the chick in his hands* Fortunately for you, this wouldn’t even make a decent snack, but as I am not equipped for petcare of this type, I’ll deliver it to someone better suited for this.

matthew clavane. armand.

(BTW I have a few more Armand casting suggestions sitting in my inbox, you’ll see more at some point)

I couldn’t find any gifs of Matthew Clavane, acting requires the face in motion, obviously, so it’s hard to say. But physically I wouldn’t kick him out of bed he has the right amount of ice and tenderness in his features (Armand is from Kiev, which according to AR is in Russia and according to the google is in the Ukraine so idek), looks like he could be Russian/Ukrainian, and he could definitely pass for 17. Lookit those kissable lips, you can see why Marius had to rescue him!

^I really like how pronounced his birthmarks are in this pic, especially the lip one. There’s charm in imperfection, and it gives him an even more boyish appearance. I couldn’t find a pic of him smiling but I assume he is capable.

 ^I’ll forgive his awful hat that I tried to crop out as much as possible bc it’s TopMan and bc the blouse and velvet blazer are 70’s glam and kind of A+ on him.
