Did a lil quick sketch, for @i-want-my-iwtv reminded me that today is the birthday of our drama-queen XD
I love it, he definitely is our drama-queen extraordinaire!
^_____^
You’re very welcome for the reminder! He looks like he’s about to reprimand us – and then forgive us, of course – for nearly forgetting his birthday ❤
Peter Capaldi as Jonathan Harker, Daniel Day-Lewis as Dracula, Half Moon Theatre, Stepney,1984.

WOW SO MAYBE THIS IS (at least part of) THE REASON WHY David Geffen (and/or others in charge) wanted Daniel Day-Lewis to play Lestat in movie!IWTV.
Apparently Cruise was approached by Geffen through Creative Artists Agency head Michael Ovitz after leading contender Daniel Day-Lewis declined the part.

And you know what I can totes see DD-L being great as Lestat… but he probably felt like Been There Done That, having already played a vampire *cries* but I’ll console myself to the fact that he was also older and maybe too old for the role, too
PS. @gothiccharmschool, let me know when your time machine is up and running, we gotta see this show!
♛Too far? Nowhere is too far for me, except, perhaps, the moon, or Mars. Are you a Martian? If it’s still offered, I’ll take your gift, with gratitude… any excuse to go on a road trip is a good one, and if you know me at all you know I’m more than a bit of a foodie when it comes to blood *winks* I’ll even dress up for such fine cuisine.
//ooc; Lestat’s just being overly excited, he’s been slumbering for what seems like ages on this blog and he’s soaking in all the attention. Pardon the mun if this is giving anyone second-hand embarrassment!
And Lestat’s a super awesome hacker, he can find you by your IP address, so you needn’t share personal info publicly here 😉
Celebrate Lestat’s birthday by surrounding yourself with hot people and making abundantly poor life decisions
♛Merci, ma petite, I’ll raise a glass for you tonight *grins*
It’s his mortal birthday, not explicitly stated in canon. It’s what Anne Rice has told us, so not everyone accepts it as canon. As for his vampire birthday, we don’t know the exact date, but I headcanon he wouldn’t celebrate it. I don’t think any of the vampires celebrate or even mention the exact dates for when they were turned, except Claudia (L/L seem to celebrate the night she was turned).
AR has said she based Lestat on her husband, Stan Rice, whose birthday was Nov. 7.
You know what that means…
Happy birthday Lestat! 257 years old in 2017!
pssst send your fave Lestat RPer happy bday messages for him ;D
Now matter how hard you ship Louis and Lestat you will never ship Louis and Lestat as hard as Lestat does.
