He’s that tall? He seemed so tiny in CMBYN (at 22, he more than passed for 17, he seems like one of those actors that will always look boyish). I guess it’s just the other actors there were taller (Armie Hammer is 6 ft 5, and an older looking 31 year old playing a 24 year old, so maybe that helped Tim look like a small teen in comparison – though I do think they should have cast younger for Oliver).

I suppose that means whether he fits as Armand is how tall he looks in comparison to the rest of the cast. If the actor playing a 6 ft tall character is taller by a 5 inches then Armand can be taller. There seems to be a lot of very tall actors.

I guess we will have to see.

Yep, according to IMDB he’s that tall! But you bring up another point about him that I like, which is that he is 22 and looks so boyish. I would LOVE for them to cast someone, like him, who is 18+ and looks younger, so that it can be close to canon-compliance without the underage/adult ship issues.

They aged Claudia up for movie!IWTV and I think that was a change for the better. I hope that they do that again if Claudia appears in any future adaptation.

I have been seeing that around a lot lately! I had a post about him re: casting about 3 weeks ago, so check that out for more thoughts on that.

I wonder if he’s read VC or would have interest in being involved with it? I feel like he would!

Not to burst your bubble too hard, and I am sorry to do so at all, but it feels like a good time to mention that some fans have commented that he’s too tall, apparently! He’s 6 feet tall. In

TVA Armand says: “I was perhaps seventeen years old when Marius made me into a vampire. I had stopped growing by that time. For a year, I’d been five feet six inches.” Maybe they could do some camera tricks to make him look shorter, but idk, might be easier to just cast someone shorter 😛 It sucks for height to be a dealbreaker, but I respect the fact that some fans really want a canon-compliant Armand in this adaptation.

Also, if Timothee wins an Oscar for CMBYN, he’s going to be extremely expensive ;A; He’s probably already in enormous demand just for the nomination. So he’d have to WANT to be part of this, probably.

Apparently he’s in pre-production on a new film, and VC casting is a year off, but maybe he’ll be available by then?

I suppose that means whether he fits as Armand is how tall he looks in comparison to the rest of the cast. If the actor playing a 6 ft tall character is taller by a 5 inches then Armand can be taller. There seems to be a lot of very tall actors.

I would be fine with them casting other actors all taller than him to make it work! But in scenes with him in crowds and in wide shots

where you might not have enough 6′5′’+ tall people, some special effects would be fine, IMO, if they want to invest the time/effort/money. I think it’s partly in the styling, too. Clothes, makeup, lighting, etc. can make a person look bigger/smaller/older/younger/etc.
