When you think of vampires, you might picture dark castles, brooding characters, and a thirst for blood. But in the world of “Interview with a Vampire,” things are getting a little more… interesting. Stars Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson recently took a comedic detour into the wild world of fan fiction, specifically the Omegaverse, during a segment on Buzzfeed Celeb. And let me tell you, it’s a riot!
As they read some of the thirstiest tweets from their fans, both actors were met with a mix of confusion and amusement. One tweet dubbed Louis a “hidden omega” and labeled Lestat as the “horny alpha who stalks over him.” Reid’s face was a picture of bewilderment, while Anderson, who plays Louis, had a vague idea of what was going on. “I know what this means, it’s something to do with werewolves or dogs,” he quipped, and honestly, he’s not too far off.
The Omegaverse is a subgenre of erotic fan fiction that plays with the idea of a hierarchical society where characters are divided into alphas, betas, and omegas—think of it as a furry twist on the classic vampire lore. The concept is all about power dynamics and, surprisingly, includes the notion that omegas can get pregnant regardless of their gender. “Oh that’s progressive, I’m into that,” Anderson said, clearly intrigued by the idea.
As the segment progressed, Reid compared the Omegaverse to the works of science fiction and fantasy author Ursula Kroeber Le Guin, which is a pretty highbrow reference for a conversation about fan tweets. But the real magic happened when Anderson jokingly asked, “Is Louis a hidden omega? Does he hide it?” Cue the laughter!
But the Omegaverse wasn’t the only thing these two learned from their fans. Reid had to read a tweet from a fan who wanted to be a “vampiric kebab” sandwiched between Lestat and Louis, and another that expressed a desire to eat Lestat’s “used thong right off him.” Anderson even joked about releasing “the butthole cut” of the show, proving that the humor was as spicy as the tweets they were reading.
And let’s not forget the moment when Reid hilariously mispronounced “bussy” as “buzzy,” sending Anderson into fits of laughter. “Oh, I still didn’t get it right?” Reid asked, still trying to wrap his head around the whole thing. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love these actors—they’re not just playing vampires; they’re also part of a vibrant and often hilarious fan community.
