Celebrity Traitors is finally back, whisking us off to the turret for an another season of lies and betrayal.
So far we've had Ross Kemp's paranoia, some fabulous one liners from Joanne McNally, and Richard E. Grant becoming the absolute worst Traitor to ever grace our screens. It's shaping up to be a pretty great season - and that's all thanks to the celebs who've whisked themselves off to the Scottish Highlands to play TV's biggest game of deceit.
Of course, there's one Faithful who's catching the attention of viewers - and it's not to do with his gameplay. One of those appearing on the celebrity spin-off this year is actor Michael Sheen, who fans are fast becoming obsessed with after connecting the dots. After hearing him utter Bella Ramsey's name, it didn't take long for viewers to connect the dots - remembering that Michael was actually played a very big role in a certain Vampire franchise featuring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Who is Michael Sheen? Where is he from? And who did he play in the Twilight movies? We've got all the answers you need...
How old is Michael Sheen and where is he from?
Born 5 February 1969 in Newport, Wales, Michael Sheen is currently 57 years old (and for our star sign fans, this also makes him an independent and creative Aquarius.)
Who did Michael Sheen play in Twilight?
Cast your minds back to the heady days of the Twilight saga, and you may well recognize Michael as having played Aro, the head of the Volturi who (spoiler alert) rules tyrant over the vampire world, instigates a war against the Cullen family over Edward and Bella's creepy looking baby, and rips the head of Carlisle Cullen in an act then eventually ends up being nothing more than one of Alice's visions. Michael joined the franchise as Aro during the second film, New Moon, appearing in the following four films, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn - Part 1, and Breaking Dawn - Part 2.
It was a connection some fans put together after hearing Michael utter fellow Faithful Bella Ramsey's name, noting a familiar lilt. 'Damn, I didn't even connect those dots,' wrote one, as another added, 'How have I only just realised this is him?!'
Of course, Twilight isn't Michael's only famous role...

He once again played the role in 2010's The Special Relationship, which landed him BAFTA and Emmy nominations. Opening up about returning to the world of Blair, Michael previously said, 'Now when I watch him on TV or hear his voice, it's sort of like a cross between a family member, a friend and seeing a really old embarrassing video of yourself.'
He's also starred as David Frost in the film adaptation of Frost/Nixon (2008), outspoken football manager Brian Clough in The Damned United (2009),Kenneth Williams in BBC Drama Fantabulosa! (2006), and recently appeared as the now-disgraced Prince Andrew in the 2024 mini-series A Very Royal Scandal.
