Jamie Foxx star of Day Shift by Netflix names popular Vampires

It was the year 1929 when the world first got to witness the monster called Vampire. Almost a century later, the pop culture around the character has grown substantially, with thousands of adaptations of the monster who can’t come out during the day. So when Jamie went on the red carpet for the premiere of his new vampire flick, the interviewer had to question Foxx about his knowledge of the undead.

During his short interview, Jamie was asked to name three of the most popular Vampires in history. The Academy Award-winning actor quickly named Bela Lugosi and Edward. However, he struggled with the famous Bradd Pitt character in Interview with the Vampire. “What’s Brad Pitt’s name?” he said.

Finally, with the help of the interviewer, he gave the answer Lestat. Funnily, Lestat was the name of Tom Cruise’s character, not Pitt’s. Brad played the role of Louis in the film. To end his interview, Foxx urged his fans to watch the film on Netflix, releasing August 12th. And specifically asked the viewers to “don’t share the password.”
