Actor Michael Sheen had help from his 10 year old daughter, Lily in his audition for the part of Aro  the vampire leader in the second film of the Twilight saga New Moon.

Sheen has confessed to not reading the books before hand and asking his daughter who had read the books about the character.

Michael Sheen’s daughter with Kate Beckinsale was not told the real reason why he was asking as Sheen did not want his daughter getting too excited.

“I wanted to find out about the character without having to read the books immediately, but I couldn’t tip my daughter off, because that would get her overexcited.”

“I said to her, ‘Oh, Lily, these books you’re reading. Someone was talking about them the other day. Is there a character called Aro in them?’

“She said, ‘Yes, he’s the head of the Volturi. He can tell what people are thinking just by touching them. Are you going to play him?’ I went, ‘No, no, no, no’.

“It was hilarious. And then of course, once I knew I was going to do it, I still couldn’t bring it up with her until the deal was done, because if I was to say, ‘I’m going to do this’ and then it didn’t happen, it would have been horrendous.”

Well I for one am looking forward to seeing the film, well done Lily I’m sure your dad was glad of the help.
