Sheen: 'Alice had a huge impact on me'

Michael Sheen has said that Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland was one of the first stories he loved as a child.

The New Moon star told Parade that he was delighted to be cast in Tim Burton's upcoming movie adaptation of the literary classic.

Sheen said: "I'm doing the White Rabbit in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Everyone has an inner white fluffy animal, it's just a question of finding it before it's too late.

"The White Rabbit is such an iconic character that I didn't feel like I should break the mould too much, so I just sort of went with it."

He added: "Alice In Wonderland was one of the first stories I truly loved when I was growing up.

"It had a huge impact on me and it's stayed with me ever since, so to be part of Tim Burton's version is just like a dream come true."
