Seems the King of the Volturi (Aro) in the Twilight Saga’s: New Moon will be played by the Prime Minister of England – or at least the guy who played him. Michael Sheen.
He has immortalised Tony Blair, David Frost and, most recently, legendary football manager Brian Clough on the big screen.
Now actor Michael Sheen is set to return to the realm of the firmly fictional after agreeing to play a vampire in the sequel to the blockbuster film Twilight.
Despite all the iconic roles that Sheen has done, this one will draw him the biggest paycheque of his career. An estimated $12m! I guess they have budget to spare over in Twilight-ville.
Sheen has a charm and presence that I think would work well for the Volturi leader, and Sheen himself is no stranger to vampires since he shares a daughter with his ex Kate Beckinsale – most notable for her role in Underworld as a Vampire Death Dealer.
