To be First kill Is lead actress Imani a lesbian in real life?
So far, First Kill has been identified as a lesbian vampire show. However, many people do not know whether the actresses who play the roles, especially First Kill star Imani Lesbian, are lesbians in real life. While we will discuss that in the subtitles, let’s first briefly talk about the plot of the show and Imani’s opinions on the show, as well as the character she plays.
Based on a short story by V.E. Schwab, First Kill follows a teenage vampire, Juliette Fairmont (played by The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It star Sarah Catherine Hook), who sets her sights on Calliope Burns (played by Imani Lewis) to commit her ‘first kill’ in order to gain a rightful place in her powerful vampire clan. Juliette is unaware that Calliope is a vampire hunter and comes from a family of powerful and renowned killers. Calliope, on her part, is also asked to commit her ‘first kill’ and chooses Calliope to be her. Things get complicated when the two people who are supposed to kill each other end up falling in love.
Speaking to the NY Post recently, Imani expressed her excitement for the show. “I immediately fell in love with the story of the show in general,” she said. “I like strong female characters, I like characters who are confident and strong and calculating, and because she comes from a family of monster hunters, I was like, ‘I have to be a part of this.'”
Imani also spoke a bit about her character Calliope on the show, expressing how lucky she was to not have won the role. “I identify with Calliope in so many different ways. I tried to play her from a place of strength, strategy, diligence.”
Imani reportedly also performed many of her own stunts. She revealed to the NY Post that she took kickboxing lessons to prepare for her role.
