Michael Sheen has told all about his latest blood-thirsty film role which sees him playing a vampire. He said he had enjoyed a great time making the film — though missed out on some of the more glamorous locations of the shoot. “The Twilight series certainly has a lot of fans, especially in America, and especially with young teenage girls. But I think that’s mainly for Robert Pattison, not me! But it’s great to be a part of it.”

“They’re all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts,” director Chris Weitz tells People. “They’re opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can’t really see into them. There’s something terribly off-putting about it.” British actor Michael Sheen plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro and his brothers Marcus and Caius have been “alive” for thousands of years, Weitz says he “deliberately” gave them a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.
