@wicked-felina said: Louis is just under six ft (I guess he was wearing heels the day Daniel interviewers him lmao) but yes!! The point stands
He might have been, he was wearing a whole special outfit, knowing it could be described and included in the record of the interview. But I don’t think his height is specified in IWTV, I skimmed it, didn’t find that. Here’s a compilation of descriptions of Louis that @i-see-light-blog put together.
Lestat says in TVL:
I’m six feet tall, which was fairly impressive in the 1780s when I was a young mortal man.
But I don’t think we get Louis’ height (other than “tall”), until Armand’s description in TVA:
I can’t find it rn and so I can’t remember if it was an ask directly sent to me or just a post I reblogged… 😛 sorries… but someone had reported that they and their friend (significant other maybe?) were in a funeral parlor, owned by a relative I think, and were allowed to climb into a few coffins to test that question, and YES, two full-grown adults were able to fit comfortably in a standard-size coffin. Louis and Lestat are both 6 ft tall with Lestat being slightly taller, so yeah, that’s a lot of person when doubled. It was also unnaturally tall for that time period.
^IDK if the coffins in the movie were accurate to the time period, probably yes. That one looked plenty big enough for them to both get in and why didn’t they!!! but I didn’t see any cushions at all, that might have made the fit a little tighter.
Currently, ppl can have custom coffins made, it would be easy enough to order one of any size 😉
Louis de Pointe du Lac, already described above but always fun to envisage: slender, slightly less tall than Lestat,…
^Could be as little as an inch (US) or a few centimeters (non-US) difference *shrugs* I should have said that Lestat is 6 ft tall and Louis slightly less than that, that would have been more accurate.
