Michael Sheen has praised his New Moon co-star Dakota Fanning, branding her character "scary as hell".

The 15-year-old actress donned red contact lenses and black robes to play Volturi vampire Jane in the highly-anticipated Twilight sequel.

Speaking to MTV News, he said: "She's fantastic. She's scary as hell, but she looks so sweet. She's got a great character there. People are really going to love her."

He went on to describe his own character, Volturi leader Aro, as "very calming on the surface, very gentle and soft on the surface. But beneath, he is a psychopathic killer... He's a great character, and I had a great time doing it".

When asked whether his character would return in the future, he replied: "He doesn't appear in Eclipse. He appears again in Breaking Dawn... Who knows? Nothing has been spoken about yet."

New Moon arrives in cinemas on November 20.
