You're all such zoomers it's unreal. Do you not remember when Interview with a vampire came out? Or even the books it was based on? This shit had a TIGER HOLD on women of all age groups long before Twilight and Fifty Shades got near them. Hell, Lestat's twink ass is to this day considered one of the biggest sex symbols amongst women over twenty. Astarion? Astarion is literally just a fusion of Lestat and Louis. Right down to background, fashion sense and dramatic monologue's. He was tailor made for success.
