00:00Now, it's a sit down with Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid.
00:03Hello, my sweet vams.
00:05There are more eyeballs on this show than ever,
00:07and season three is a wild ride.
00:09What is one thing you'd ask viewers
00:11to not judge Lestat for?
00:16Wait, you wanna answer that question?
00:18No, I was just laughing, it was a good question.
00:19Yeah, so you don't answer it.
00:20I'm interested in...
00:25I mean, I think that's what this season is, right?
00:27Like, the whole thing is some context.
00:34Context is very important.
00:37I love Lestat.
00:38I love Lestat.
00:40I've always loved Lestat.
00:42Like, I don't judge him anymore.
00:46I think in the end, I was pretty f***ing great!
00:50I don't feel the need to ask an audience to not judge him.
00:53I think it's within his remit and his kind of DNA to be judged.
01:00And he kind of welcomes that.
01:02And I think he is love me or hate me.
01:06I'm gonna be the vampire Lestat anyway.
01:09No matter how dark the show gets,
01:10there's still always a playful undertone.
01:12Like, you're winking at the fans.
01:14How do you balance that?
01:15I mean, a big part of that is Lestat.
01:17You're in Lestat's mind, you know?
01:19And that's a big part of the way he operates, you know?
01:22He's very dark.
01:23He's an optimist in some capacity.
01:25You know, he doesn't wallow in grief.
01:28He doesn't wear grief like velvet, like Louis, do you know what I mean?
01:31He's actually, he's more of a, you know, like,
01:35let's make the best of the situation kind of guy, you know?
01:38And does see humor in everything.
01:41I bet!
01:42But a big part of that is also down to Roland and in the edit
01:45and the way he creates the scenes.
01:47The scenes are written with more humor.
01:49There's like gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag, gag,
01:53over and over and over and over and over again,
01:54even while it's like, you know, the most traumatic thing in the world.
01:58And that's wonderful.
01:59Like, it's really fun.
01:59No, thank you!
02:01Last time we talked, you said your final pre-vamp meal
02:03would be schnitzel and Riesling because you were filming in Prague.
02:06What was the schnitzel of Toronto that you enjoyed
02:08during your downtime together?
02:10Yeah, I mean, like, to be honest, I don't know.
02:13I don't, I actually don't like, I mean, I was just,
02:16I was just like trying to keep it in theme.
02:19And I was like, that was the little, you know,
02:20that was what we were eating in Prague.
02:22And I regret that choice.
02:26So thank you very much for giving me the opportunity
02:27to re-answer that.
02:29You debunked it.
02:30That was actually a really, really nice meal.
02:32It wasn't true.
02:33I mean, honestly, because like, it wasn't that.
02:36I know, I've seen that clip.
02:38Really?
02:38I gave you such a hard time about it.
02:40It's true.
02:41That would be your last meal.
02:42Your last meal, though.
02:44Probably like my favorite thing in the world,
02:46and I don't get to eat it very much,
02:47and I love it to death,
02:49and could eat mountains of it,
02:51is spaghetti bolognese.
02:53And I just don't get to eat that very much.
02:55It's not the thing that I get to eat.
02:57Really?
02:58Badly these days.
02:59I mean, I eat it like...
03:02What are you going to say?
03:04My cheese on toast?
03:06What?
03:07What?
03:08Cheese on toast.

03:12which I had delivery a lot of,
03:17called Mama Bee Kitchen.
03:20And it was exceptional food.
03:23Yeah, that was really good.
