Michael Sheen Already Has A Date For New Moon Premiere


If you had your heart set on going with Michael Sheen to the premiere of New Moon, you might want to make other plans. It turns out that Michael is going to take his daughter Lily. Lily is the daughter he had with Kate Beckinsale. Lily has never liked any of the characters her parents have played. Until now.

"Forget about playing Tony Blair. When I told her I was definitely playing vampire Aro in 'Twilight' she cried. She was so overwhelmed and annoyed that I muscled in on something that belonged to her. She's already told me she'll be my date for the premiere."

Lily is 10 and so she was probably reading the books and had someone in her mind who would be Aro and the next thing you know it is her dad. I get the feeling these were not tears of joy from Lily. I can see how it would be hard to think as a child that you have this series of books for yourself. They are yours and unlike everything else your parents do, they can;t control that one part of your life. So, it must have been a shock to then have your dad be part of something you thought was yours and yours alone.

Of course once she thought about the fact she could meet the rest of the actors I'm guessing she got over the pain pretty quick.

  1. I can totally understand what she's feeling, when she read the books she didn't picture her dad as one of the characters.

    She's very pretty. Is that some grey I see in Mr. Sheen's hair?

    I think this story is too cute. I think everyone can relate to being a child and having something of your own that you think is so cool and then your parent goes and dorks it up somehow :)

  6. Hee, my 13 year old is the same way. I'm taking a class on modern best sellers in October, and she's been hounding me about the book list which I don't have yet. It finally occured to me that she wants to see it to make sure that Twilight isn't on it because it's "hers."

  9. He definitely needs to bring her on set to make up for this. Maybe a kiss on the cheek from R.Patz. :)

  11. They both radiate happiness. It's nice to see in a world where we get parents who smile politely for their photo op with their child. It's really sweet. :)
