“The Twilight Saga: New Moon” Week continues here on BAM’s Blog, and British actor Michael Sheen joins “The Twilight Saga” with the second film, opening Friday. He plays Aro, a leader of the Volturi coven. The Volturi act as a sort of royal law enforcement squad for the vampire world.
Sheen, whose previous credits include the werewolf Lucian in the “Underworld” films along with the acclaimed dramas “The Queen,” “Blood Diamond” and “Frost/Nixon,” already has experienced his first encounter with a overly excited “Twihard” fan, though the sequel hasn’t opened yet.
I haven’t really experienced much of the ‘Twilight ‘fan stuff yet. But, I did go into a store in L.A. to buy a pair of jeans and I went into the little cubicle to try my jeans on. It’s always a quite nerve-wracking time when I come out of the cubicle to look in the mirror anyway and I like that to be a private moment. As I came out, there was a woman shaking, going ‘You’re Aro, aren’t you?!’ and I just hid in my cubicle again,” he said during a press conference at the recent “New Moon” press day in Los Angeles.
