I have always imagine Louis being quite femenine ( obviously not as much as Armand ). Like, having a remarked waist, long legs ( and of course nice butt ) and overall a delicated figure. But besides his hands, his body has never been described I think. What do you think? How do you picture him? ( english is not first language :c Sorry for the mistakes! )

No worries, I understand what you’re asking ❤ I could write SO MUCH on this, so I’ll try to keep it short and basic.

We all picture him differently, I think that’s what will make it so hard to cast an actor. I still debate with ppl about his hair: whether it’s chestnut-color (like in movie!IWTV), shorter and curlier (like in Lestat the Musical), or dark, longish and silky as in a lot of the fanart. We all apply our own ideals of beauty (which are influenced by our own cultures, art, families, romantic partners, and/or friends, etc.) onto him. Plus, the other VC characters are generally more poetic when they describe him; they detail his inner qualities more than his physical ones. 

That said, I agree that he would appear at first to have an overall delicate and almost androgynous figure, and he moves with a lot of grace and dignity, but he can definitely kick ass when necessary; there’s muscle and skill packed into that slender build >;}

I imagine his eyes as being more of a sea-green, maybe not like lasers ALL the time, but with a sparkle to them,

…with a good fringe of inky eyelashes when his eyes close,

^and that feathery but still masculine eyebrow.

^X these eyes belong to Steven Kelly. His lips are a lot bigger then I picture Louis’s lips, but his jawline is right (it’s a flattering angle tho tbh), and Louis is described as having a narrow head.

As for the body, I picture him as a little underweight due to the state of physical unfitness he was in in the month(s) leading up to his turning, but still muscular:

image

^X Simon Nessman would probably not like to hear himself called physically unfit, what I mean is, he’s got the basic setup, is a little underweight, not all !bursting! with muscle. (yes I imagine Louis has dark nips like this but a more pronounced happy trial *blushes*)

@eibhlis97 and I agree that he has great thighs due to riding horses all his life ;}

And a view from the back, bc yes, he requires, as you put it: “long legs ( and of course nice butt ).”

image

^X Louis will wear heels for Lestat on occasion. Very special occasions. Right, @vampchronfic?

I don’t know who this guy is, we can’t even see his whole face in the picture, but this is it. This is my Lestat. He has the hair and the mouth, but mostly the hair.  

YES, very good Lestat hair. And body and face, from what we can see. We have a mortal!Lestat, or freshly sunburned!Lestat here.

But of course we need to see more.

According to my googling this is Michał Darowski. But the bone structure doesn’t seem to match up 😦

Can anyone figure out who this is so we can see if there’s more than that gorgeous blond mane?

neon-taco submitted: Boyd Holbrook was my Lestat visual. what do you think?


@i-want-my-iwtv replies: Oh I saw him in the Skeleton Twins! He was a hot scuba instructor w/ an accent. Australian, I think. He was good stuff. I haven’t seen him in anything else and I do need to.

I think he’s close enough in appearance. The pics you shared are from his former modeling days and he seems to have grown past the slightly feminine look he had in those shots, but I found some more anyway. 

They should doll him back up like this bc YUM ;]

The Vampire Chronicles Characters: Lestat de Lioncourt

I was the vampire Lestat again. I was back in action. New Orleans was once again my hunting ground. And I was asking myself, Lestat, what do you want to do now? Old rules didn’t matter to me now. I wanted to break every one of them.

In a perfect world, the casting of Lestat for the new movie is someone THIS decorative, but with the acting skills to ensure Lestat is more than a one-note spoiled brat. (Because while he’s the Brat Prince, the stupid egotistical rock star vampire has layers.)

(I’ve mentioned that Lestat is one of my favorites, right? Well I’m mentioning it again.)
