Michael Sheen transforms into every character he plays. When it’s a real life historical figure like Tony Blair or David Frost, we can confirm exactly how accurate a job he did. TheTwilight fans can probably cast even more scrutiny about Aro, the Volturi leader in The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
“It was from Stephenie in the book,” Sheen said. “She describes Aro as having a voice like feathers, so that made me think about what would it sound like if someone had a voice like feathers. Then, as I was starting to play around with it, I reminded myself a little bit of the Blue Meanie. You remember the Blue Meanie in Yellow Submarine and the hand that goes with it? Then I was also thinking about characters from when I was a kid watching stuff that really freaked me out and the Blue Meanie really freaked me out. The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Lollipops and all that.”
Notice a theme yet? They’re all evil characters who sound comforting nonetheless. “I liked the idea of a character who on the surface appears to be very friendly and thinks of himself as just being a sentimental old fool, a romantic at heart, and then he wants to eat your eyes. I liked that sort of idea so that was where Aro came from.”
