Sheen annoyed by onlookers during filming
Michael Sheen became "really annoyed" when people started filming him when he was shooting 'The Gospel of Us'.
The 43-year-old British actor - who plays a Christ-like figure in the movie - admits he was concerned onlookers were "f***ing" things up when they began recording what he was doing, but eventually managed to incorporate it into the story.
He told the Daily telegraph newspaper: "On the morning of Good Friday, when I came down from the mountain to the beach, the very first thing that happened was someone coming up to me with a camera.
"And all I could think was: 'You're f**king it up,' so the first words my character said were: 'Get the f**k out of my way.'
"That afternoon there were thousands of people on the beach, they all had mobile phones and they all wanted to film me. I was freaking out. I thought it wasn't going to work.
"But it became me throwing the money lenders out of the temple. So that relationship is very, very interesting. I mean, the original story is in one sense a story about fame."
Despite playing the messianic character, Sheen reveals he does not believe in God.
The 'Frost/Nixon' star - who is dating Rachel McAdams - says the concept of a supreme being is incomprehensible to him so he cannot have any faith in the notion.
He said: "If you can define what God is, I can tell you whether I believe in it."
