Michael Sheen: 'I just love Aro'

Michael Sheen has said that he is looking forward to scaring people when he appears in Twilight sequel New Moon.

The actor told Parade that his daughter cried and kicked him out of frustration when she found out that he would feature in the movie.

Sheen said: "She was a bit overwhelmed. It was like when I was kid - if there was something I was really into, the last thing I wanted was my mum and dad to be into it as well.

"So, at first, Lily got upset and sort of cried when I told her. I think it was just like her fantasy imaginative world suddenly colliding with reality.

"There's so much expectation about the sequel. People who are hooked on the stories have very definite ideas about the character from the second book."

He added: "So it's a dilemma. You want to give them what they expect, what they want to see, but you also want to surprise them.

"My biggest concern has been that everyone would remember that I played a werewolf in Underworld. So it would be a stretch for me to become a vampire.

"But I just love Aro. I think he has a gentle side even though he's pretty scary. And I'm just very pleased to have a whole new generation of people I can scare."
