What was wrong with Cruise as Lestat?

Did you read the books? This is how Ann Rice describes him:

quote:

---

Lestat describes himself as six feet tall. He has blond hair that is not quite shoulder length, and that is rather curly, which sometimes appears white under fluorescent lighting. His eyes are grey, but they reflect the colors of blue or violet easily from surfaces around them. He has a short narrow nose, and a mouth that is well shaped, but has always been slightly large for his face. His mouth can look very mean or extremely generous, but always sensual.

If you read the books, you'll see that Cruise just does not work as Lestat. I don't know exactly how to explain it, just know he's NOT Lestat de Lioncourt.
