Welcome to the Théâtre des Vampires | Interview with the Vampire | New Episodes Sundays | AMC+ 

How heartbreaking! Compared to that, a publicity tour is trivial.

Yes, let’s send all the love to him ♥️

Love his character in the book series.

What happened to him? 😯

@@cotevallejos7230 His husband died of cancer.

The accent that Ben used at 1:09 and 1:13 got me twirling my hair, giggling, and kicking my feet 🤭 it’s so joker coded I don’t know why.

Right??? Holy hell 😭

Funny choice of words considering that Ben Daniels actually did a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. He played Pontius Pilate, if I remember correctly.

@@feschneider1985 I watched that on TV when I was in the 8th grade and tbh, he and Sara bareilles carried the entire show because you can tell how Ben studied the character of Pilate and captured the internal conflict and anger that he goes through in the show.

Me too, sending all the love to him. 🫂

I'm in that row now

Santiagopologists we rise!! 😂😂

@@kareninacaradoI’m about to be an apologist lmao! 🤣

@@DaysieRoseSame ngl

Lmao

I know right

*Santiago talking to Claudia*: My dear sweet child, that’s what I do, that’s what I live for, to help poor unfortunate vampires like yourself 😈

I'm getting Ursula, and I'm obsessed with him now.

@@DaysieRose it’s Ursula with a bit of joker, and him from the power puff girls lol. I just know that Claudia is going to be the Ariel of the season if Santiago is Ursula.

Armand was like 🔴👄🔴

His partner of 30+ years or so recently died of cancer. Ben was taking care of him as his health declined during the time press for Season 2 was going on, that's why he wasn't there for any of it.

He was actually supposed to attend the press tours starting with the TCA panel for AMC last February, but he had to pull out because of a family emergency. He wasn’t able to attend the premiere and the press junket for April and May as we’ve learned that his husband, actor Ian Gelder, aged 74, died this May 6 due to bile duct cancer. Ben knows he’d want to be there with Jacob, Sam, et al. (he’s also part of the main cast), and Ben and showrunner Rolin Jones have a great working relationship (Rolin was an executive producer for The Exorcist series, Ben’s previous project), but Ben took care of his ailing husband. Ian was only diagnosed last December, and Ben turned down offers to take care of him. They’ve been together for more than 30 years, and it’s so hard to lose a life partner. I hope Ben is alright now and surrounded by his family and friends at this very difficult time. We look forward for his comeback! He’s also part of the Rings of Power season 2 in a much smaller role, but IWTV is something to look forward!!

I doubt that will happen. Ben's partner for more than 30 years, actor Ian Gelder, has just passed away from cancer (less than two weeks ago).

As a widow who had a partnership with my husband for 30+ years, it is gut-wrenching agony. For me, it felt like a huge palpable void has appeared in your life, especially during the first few years (Six years widowed now.) Sending my healing thoughts to Ben during this truly horrific time in his life. Widowhood sucks. 😢

Omg me too 😂

Let the tale seduce you...

The Vampire Lestat is an international rockstar. Alas Claudia been dead for quite some time. While Akasha Queen of the Damned has awakened in present day to seek out Lestat as her immortal consort. Oh Louis is telling I'm sorry retells to Daniel his story in Dubai during the covid pandemic.

Seriously why are you asking for lestat, are you mad?

​@RowensARTstudioLouis is the MC of the first book. Rice changed that after releasing the second book the vampire Lestat like 10 years later

@RowensARTstudio well I don't fk care, the only thing i care about is Claudia, loumand and nothing else. So f u and lesrat all tgt.

One of the key emotional cores of the book was just how long they had lived, how much things had changed. It starts in the 1700s and they have claudia for decades if I remember correctly. The serious action when claudia dies etc I believe is in the 1850s - several decades after the beginning of the story. Louis and Claudia keenly feel the passing of the decades and the hollowness of their lives. It seems to me that like this time shift to the 1920s robs the story of an important element.

Me when I lie

Viewership below a million people but I guess numbers lie.

@RowensARTstudio in a world of 6 billion people. It’s hardly an opinion. But you’ll call it a masterpiece because you love flamboyant queens, spewing wise remarks. So I really don’t care to keep replying to you about why you enjoy this garbage.

@@FJX716 because everyone is streaming it. Who the hell has cable?

@@CeciLi-g9d streaming amc. I feel sorry for you.

This aged well because season 3 will tackle the vampire Lestat

He, Ben Daniels, was actually supposed to join the press junkets but his husband recently passed away due to cancer.

@@kareninacarado In that case, yeah, that's for the best. That's devastating. My heart goes out to Ben and his husband's family for their lost.
