Michael’s mural will be the third one painted by Port Talbot’s ARTwalk group, who also painted murals of Richard Burton and Peg Entwistle. More below:
Ler maisA giant mural of Michael Sheen is to be painted in Port Talbot as the town plans to bounce back from the loss of Banksy’s ‘Season’s Greeting’ artwork.
The team behind the town’s ARTwalk say they will not let the departure of the famous artist’s artwork deter them from establishing the town as the street art capital of Wales.
“We intend the street art revolution that Season’s Greetings sparked to continue and spread,” said Derek Davies, who manages the Port Talbot ARTwalk Facebook page.

Ler maisFirst TV show I watched religiously
Monkey was a Japanese TV series on the BBC. It was about a monkey, a pig and a fish. They were all on a pilgrimage with a Buddhist monk called Tripitaka, who was male, but played by a woman. Monkey had a magic staff which was big, but he could make it very little and put it in his ear, and he would travel on a cloud.First trip to the theatre
It would have been at the Dolman Theatre in Newport; probably a Gilbert and Sullivan show like The Pirates of Penzance or a classic musical like Oklahoma! or Carousel. The first professional play I saw was As You Like It at the RSC in Stratford with Fiona Shaw and Alan Rickman.
In a new interview for Independent, Michael Sheen discusses Last Train To Christmas, shares his opinions on Boris Johnson, talks about becoming a non-profit actor, cancel culture and more. Read it below:
Ler maisMichael Sheen isn’t one to mince his words. Even before Boris Johnson finds himself at the centre of the Christmas party scandal, the Welsh star of Frost/Nixon has our PM in his crosshairs. “He’s the absolute worst of what politics can be,” says the 52-year-old, his voice rich and lilting. “A man who doesn’t seem to care or believe in anything other than his own advancement, and, as a result of immense privilege, has been able to get to the most powerful position in the country and then doesn’t use it to make people’s lives better. Everything is a game to him.” Sheen stops, reloads. “He seems to have no personal ethics, morals, beliefs, value system. So I will be immensely happy to see the back of him, not just from being prime minister but out of the political arena altogether. I hope he goes off and finds a job that has no influence whatsoever on anything in our cultural, social or economic life.” Deep breath. Exhale. “And good luck to him with that.”
Disconcertingly, Sheen delivers this diatribe while sporting a shock of white blond hair, like a vertiginously quiffed version of the Boris bouffant. Unlike Johnson, though, he doesn’t seem to be spouting hot air. The actor, after all, sold his houses to bankroll the 2019 Homeless World Cup. The following year he revealed that he’d handed back the OBE he was awarded in 2009 for fear of being, in his words, a hypocrite. And earlier this month, he declared himself a “not-for-profit actor”, pledging to use future earnings to fund social projects. He’s a walk-walker in a crowd of talk-talkers. That there is any hair similarity today – Sheen’s mane is ordinarily dark, scraggly and flecked with grey – is down to him currently filming a second series of Good Omens, Amazon’s devilishly entertaining adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s apocalyptic novel.
Michael Sheen has appeared in some radio shows and podcasts to promote his new Sky Cinema movie Last Train To Christmas. In case you missed any of them, here they are:
