Robert Downey, Jr. as Lestat? :P
He can certainly be fey, but he doesn't come across as high class nor charismatic, IMO as Lestat is supposed to be.
Is there no good blond 20 something actor they can find for this part?
Anne Rice said she imagined Rutger Hauer in his good years as Lestat, but he was too old at the time to play the part.

:laugh: I also thought of him, but he's a bit too young.
I thought Stuart Townsend a good replacement, but now he's too old.

Wasn't Lestat about 20 or so when he was made a VP? Wasn't he a fey young thing? I had read somewhere that Anne Rice modeled Lestat on David Bowie.
didn't Lestat become a Rock Star in the novel? I hav'nt read it in years. But I think Anne Rice had this in mind.

I think Robert Downey Jr. is too old as well. As much as i like him I don't think he should be in EVERY movie, lol!
I have the perfect actor for the part of Lestat, he's 25, sexy & French: Gaspard Ulliel
He's beautiful but he also has an edge which was in evidence when he played the young Hannibal Lector (Hannibal Rising)
He looks like a cross between Channing Tatum and Gael Garcia Bernal?

Heh. I was about to comment that Gaspard looks too Gallic to play Lestat, but Lestat was French, wasn't he?
