New Moon's Michael Sheen Says Aro is "Gentle"

Meeting the Volturi!

Michael Sheen's New Moon character, Aro, is one we don't get to hear about very often. So, we're glad to hear that Michael's been speaking out. And he actually describes Aro as being "gentle." Surprised?

Twilight's Aro, a member of the Volturi vampires, might not quite be a character you'd think of as gentle. But, this is just on the surface. Michael Sheen describes him as, "very calming on the surface, very gentle and soft on the surface. But beneath, he is a psychopathic killer..." That sounds a bit more like it.

Michael also talks about Dakota Fanning's character, Jane, calling her "scary as hell," which we also have to agree with. But he also says people are going to love her. We have a feeling Dakota does an excellent job of playing one of the Volturi.

Sheen's character, Aro, doesn't appear in Eclipse, but he'll be back again in Breaking Dawn. However, Michael Sheen says nothing has been spoken about as far as fliming Breaking Dawn. Why are they keeping us in so much suspense?

Are you excited to see Michael Sheen's Aro in New Moon? He says he's found a whole new fanbase in the under-12s, but we have a feeling it's going to be with all different kinds of age groups!
