In an interview with Den of Geek, the 35-year-old Australian actor shared more about his character Lestat and his inclination to music.

“In The Vampire Lestat, Lestat is with Nicki [Nicolas de Lenfent] after one of their late-night sessions. He has an existential crisis, and Nicki’s violin playing, and music, takes him out of it,” Reid explained.

He further stated,

“He is very detached from humanity and has no desire to be a part of it, because he’s obviously dealing with what happened to him. He got ripped out of this. It’s basically just that dynamic.”
