Emil Andersson for Lestat de Lioncourt [X][X]

OK so I looked up this model bc of @yoonona‘s aesthetic post, and wow. Especially the first pic. With the right lighting, yep, angelic! I’m not 100% selling him for this, but just throwing the idea out there.

Emil is physically stunning and probably closer to more ppl’s headcanon for Lestat than some recent casting suggestions have offered us. Modeling does require some level of acting, and he definitely has talent, I especially love his seriousness in the bottom right pic in an outfit that… while he sells it very well… would probably look laughable on most of us mere mortals! 

Acting though, we need to see him in motion with more than the variations of pouty expression above. Lestat has a huge sense of humor with a lot of ways of expressing it. I found ONE pic of Emil smiling, and idk, I need more: [X]

Found just one gif of him in motion, below the cut bc it gets really repetitive!

I normally don’t support casting models for VC characters bc there’s more to our characters than being JUST beautiful, even though they are described as angelic and devastatingly attractive. Part of what drew me to them was that they feel grounded in reality somehow, and their beauty comes more from their personalities, that’s part of why they were chosen to vampire by their makers.

In some cases, though, they really are that beautiful, and Lestat was chosen both for his physical characteristics AND his personality.
