Michael Sheen admits that he has only met former Prime Minister Tony Blair once.
The actor made his name playing Blair and will return to the role for a new movie The Special Relationship, which will see Dennis Quaid take on the part of Bill Clinton.
This will be the third time that the actor has played Blair having already starred in The Deal and The Queen.
Despite all the times that he has played him throughout his career Sheen has only spent time with Blair on a single occasion.
Speaking to ContactMusic the actor said: "I've met him once. I met him last year and that was interesting - meeting someone who I've spent so much time watching on screen and reading about.
"It was good to get a sense of him in a room, how he moves around a room. Just a vibe you get off someone is so completely different to seeing them on screen."
Sheen has already enjoyed box office success this year as he voiced The White Rabbit in the smash hit Alice In Wonderland.
He will also appear in Tron Legacy later this year.
