Fancast has an interview with Michael Sheen.
Read the interview here.
Here is an excerpt:
Sheen is in a unique position to involve himself in this battle between vampires and werewolves – he’s been fighting on the side of the lycans throughout the Underworld saga. What are the benefits of switching sides for Twilight?
“The tailoring is so much better as a vampire,” he quipped. “I’ve been observing vampires for some time now and I finally got to give my own fang, although we don’t have fangs, do we? It was great to be on the other side for a bit.” Although he hasn’t abandoned his werewolf roots, as illustrated by his appreciation for his differing action figures. “I lose days just with my Lucian figure and my Aro figure fighting,” he joked. “They have their tea parties together. They like to fight and then they come back. I’m losing jobs because of it.”

The L.A.Times has an interview with Michael Sheen. He talks about the movies he has coming out.
Read the entire interview here.
Here is an excerpt:
When filming breaks for lunch, the actor, clutching a copy of “New Moon,” says he understands just how important it is to get every detail of his performance right. He doesn’t want to disappoint Meyer’s legions of fans.
“People have such passionate feelings about the books as I know through my daughter — there’s nothing more terrifying in some ways than the passions of teenage girls,” he said, adding that it will be impossible for him to embody every reader’s notions about Aro. “I remember my daughter said, ‘Aro is bald.’ Clearly he’s not, but that’s her picture of him. Maybe she was thinking of Nosferatu.”

FearNet has an interview with Michael Sheen. He talks Twilight and Twitter.
Read the entire article here.
Here is an excerpt from the Interview:
Now that you’re involved in the world of Twilight as an actor and as a father of a Twilight fan, how do you ensure that the Twilight world is taken seriously by those who might dismiss it superficially?
Well I can’t, really. I take it seriously, but it’s up to other people how they respond to it. I have no control over that. I just want to do as good a job as I possibly can for Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the stories, Chris Weitz, who directed the film, and for my daughter, who’s the person who got me into it in the first place. So if people don’t respond to it, that’s up to them, but I don’t think anyone’s going to be too worried about that. I think there’s quite enough people who are into it.

Moviehole has an interview with Michael Sheen. He talks about the movies he has recently been involved with.
Read the entire interview here.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:
“New Moon” is obviously one of these – the franchise that is so highly anticipated. How prepared are you for the – for the response to a movie like that? I mean, do you ever prepare yourself, or do you just go with the flow?
Sheen: I just go with the flow, really. I mean, there’s certainly a lot of media attention on it, because obviously, everyone I do an interview with wants to ask about it. So I’m aware of that and I’m aware that there’s a very passionate and devoted following, which includes my own daughter. So , I’m looking forward to being a part of all that. I enjoyed making the film. I like the character very much. I’m very much looking forward to the decibel level I’ve been told about coming from the “Twilight” fans at the premiere.
Parade also has an interview with Michael which you can read here.
Here is an excerpt from that Interview:
Speaking of blood, taking on Aro in New Moon.
“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. 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.”
His daughter got a literal kick out of the news.
“I was excited about being in New Moon mainly because I thought it would make my daughter Lily very happy since she loved the books and the first movie. But, 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 mom 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. She did punish me a bit. When she kicked me, I think that was sort of acting out her frustration.”
USA Today also has an interview with Michael.
You can read the whole interview here.
Here is an excerpt from that interview:
Why join the bloodsuckers?
“I wanted to see how the other half lived,” Sheen explains with a grin. “Or unlived.”
Actually, Lily, his 10-year-old daughter with Underworld actress Kate Beckinsale, had something to do with his decision. “She is very, very into the books. I know how obsessive she was about them, so I was already predisposed wanting to be in it.”
After he read the first two books himself, Sheen realized why the literary phenom causes teen girls to swoon. “What it has tapped into, at least in the first book, is how it feels to fall in love for the first time. I don’t think you have to be a girl to relate to that.
“The second book captures the utter desolation of losing that first love. I went through that myself, and Stephenie Meyer invokes that brilliantly.”
So what kind of vamp is Aro? “I suppose the Volturi are like the royal family of vampires, and while he is more their spokesperson in the books, he is their leader in the film. He’s got a sort of regality about him.
“I like the way director Chris Weitz describes him. On the surface, he is very charming and very warm, sort of likable and soft. But underneath, you get the sense he is a psychopathic killer. I love playing with that idea.”
