Aro – Gentle on the Surface?

Posted on 23. Sep, 2009 by in News

MTV has done it again! According to Michael Sheen, his role as Aro is one that’s gentle on the surface and psychopathic killer underneath. I suppose that is a fairly accurate statement about where the Volturi member is concerned. I love Michael – he seems like such a nice, down to earth guy!

MTV: Tell us about your character in “New Moon.”

Sheen: I play Aro. For people who aren’t fans of the books, I play one of the Volturi — somebody described it as being like the royal family of vampires, which I guess is a good description. He’s 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.

MTV: Have they shown you a cut of the film?

Sheen: No, nothing yet. I’m very excited about seeing it, as most people are — especially with my daughter, who is a big fan. I look forward to going to the premiere with her.
