Lestat de Lioncourt

My choice for Lestat is Jude Law ("Cold Mountain," "Closer"). As anyone familiar with the books knows, Interview with the Vampire is Louis's story, and Tom Cruise was great as Lestat as Louis sees him. Stuart Townsend did well with what he was given, which wasn't much, but while Townsend is a beautiful man, as is Lestat, he is not a great actor.

Jude Law combines attractiveness, impishness, and talent in a way that could perfectly translate Lestat qua Lestat to the big screen.

Christine doesn't think that Lestat's long hair would work in the film, but I can't imagine him without it.
