  • the king was a fool just like other englishmen.

  • hair fair in kindread tru wisdom there avail itself to u each cut nip and where to be founders of the lattice seas

  • ur reflection and direction are impeccable...the parts of knowing to that which ones needs is assists the love of siblings hidden...as to the difference of henry the eighth and the rythmic truths to the appearance of your kind in times needed ...now! the busy of england..angeterre? nords faeres counsels trite au contare error knot with delight..share the way and entrice it tru for poisons petals and all foods do...counsel creeds and omen jests it is their youth they steal from the beast...

  • I loved it all, but srsly, Henry was only 5 years younger than Catherine but10/16 yrs older than Anne!!! For crying out loud! @ 1:10

  • why is he still doing the British accent??? The Irish pushes out a little bit on some words... he's slippin

  • @erikisimo  LOL, maybe that's why he seems to have a home in London, England, and L.A. but not Ireland.

  • @erikisimo Well he still played a great Henry the VIII. I mean, a lot of actors have played Henry. One was Australian, one was English, and so I think as long as they do their best, they look fine to me. He made the series actually. The real henry was probably ugly,f at, and a snob.

  • He played a great king - handsome, highly strung like most kings would have been. I didnt watch the nude scenes, but the whole set was beautifully re-created and Henry's wardrobe was to die for...better than anything a woman could want, yes.

  • @Chuckles123thefish He wasn't really nude at all.

  • Ray Winstone was by far the most convincing in Henry VIII, this guy is just easier on the eyes for the female audience...

  • Henry the 8th is remembered for his insanity, obesity, and jousting injuries. Hahaha!  This is what generations to come will learn about "Haywire Henry!"

  • he is so incredible, even my mum said that the tudors was very well done, and shee is hard to impress :') I love this show to pieces1

  • @barbiedoll811 but men aren't old until 50, didn't u know? Jk, you're right, though back then they really would have considered him young even though they died at 50-60 on average, u know?

  • He sounds soo intelligent, not only his he beautiful hes smart too! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @GavardO88 He's not dead, Dipshit.

    

  • @GavardO88 yeah hes still alive!

  • he is fucking beautiful

  • i looooove the way his mouth moves when he talks! he could say anything and i wouldnt care.

  • The great amounts of sex in this show, was one of the things that turned me off so much about the Tudors. Most of these actors, I already know of. I've seen them in other works, I've really enjoyed their performances, and just to see them plowing in to some flat chested, flabby woman......it's not a comfortable sight. I KNOW that the king and his men got alot of ass. I know this. But must I sit and witness Henry creating EVERY child of his?

    And I really don't want to see Henry Cavill naked.

  • @Indiegirl007 Wow, I can't think of one flabby flat chested woman on the show. And if you dont want to see Henry Cavil naked then you're insane.

  • @elfred1980 He is attractive, but I have come to know him as an actor first, and just to see him naked just kinda makes me feel.......uncomfortable. Lol. The same with Jonathon.

    I have a slight thing for Aidan Turner, but I don't want to see him naked either!

  • I love the fact that he talks about Chathrine and how he loved her and they had respect for eachother but, in a way we do not see that, at all, we see Henry scewing every girl he meets but we do not see him loving on cathrine or even have sex with her, I mean we see Henry have sex with Anne, many times and once when they were married so way not cathrine, that is pretty much my pet pev when he talks about her, the thing is we do not see it on film so if we don't see don't talk about it.

  • I love the way he explains why he divorced Catherine of Aragon "But... She got old" He sounds like a kid trying to give a good excuse lol

  • @Mustang318 haha, but u should know, sometimes men are quite simple-minded, esp abt sexuality

  • MY GOD HES BEAUTIFUL!!! IF HENREY VIII LOOKED LIKE THIS I WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF HIS MISTRESSES AS WELL. JRM I WILL GIVE YOU A SON BABY!!!! LOL

  • I always confuse him with Peter Sarsgaard. They practically indentical.

  • 0:42 is he channeling Elvis, it's hot :)

  • season 2...the most touching season...gave me the chills

  • King Henry, royal stallion, did so much evil, especially when he divided the church in order to justify his adultery.

  • I'm surprised how articulate he is, nicely done JRM. This sexy, fascinating, visually GORGEOUS series is available on Netflix - two seasons are available instantly online and the other two need to be rented. It is SO worth the time. Don't go spouting Tudor history until you do a little fact checking tho:-) They did take creative liberties.

  • ok so I could be late but I live in America and I've never heard of this show however I've been watching it via Internet but does it come on tv hear

  • @IWANTMYROCKBACK It was on Showtime. All four seasons are done now. They are on Netflix.

  • @win04ever thank you : )

  • I've watched this video maybe 6 times now, turns me on EVERY time

  • wow, a smart, good-looking, actor who knows what he's talking about instead of reading it off a card!

  • He is a Fine Fine looking man!

  • He looks a bit high.

  • "He had the greatest son a man could want...it was just a woman..." [that happens alot] Jonathan plays his role in The Tudors masterfully! The cast is wonderful and thank GOD we don't live in those days still, no matter how SEXY the script the script is written] ♥

    ...oh, and if you're gonna show me boobs in every episode, directors...then give something LOWER for the ladies too...like Spartacus! Let's be fair and stop making me roll my eyes with only female parts on film!!! Gah!

  • @k2burrell - No one wants to see that. It's all about the topless women on The Tudors.

  • @johnnytastetest - If no one wants to seeeee that, then why did "I" bring it up????? ☺ You don't want to see that, but we gotta put up with it. Yeah, that's fair... [booooooo] lol

  • @k2burrell - Well, I guess the guys are just lucky. Check out my videos and comment, k2burrell! I have lots! And it's mostly dudes in them, so you'll like that!

  • @k2burrell - Yes, you guys are lucky! And it sucks!! lol Although it's funny that TV can't get a man to watch it unless it has boobs, an engine, a football or guy running crazy with a chainsaw...*giggling* But hey, to be positive...TV knows what you like. Who can argue with what works. =] Cool, I'll check your vids out! Thanks ☺

  • @k2burrell i 2ND that

  • @k2burrell lets be honest a penis isnt a pretty thing and i have one. Now even a woman can say that another woman has nice boobs.

  • @gaelenfade - I love them! And I want tit-for-tat fairness!!! ♥ I hate staring at the female body. That's all we ever get...her naked against a tree and him fully clothed! Gah!!!! I want it turned around...☺

  • @k2burrell not all women like dick... 

  • @maybeilljoincia - and not all men like boobs... I appreciate a show that plays fair. This one, DID NOT =}

  • @k2burrell see the problem is: Jonathan Rhys meyers has to play a Cruel merciless King so no male parts for you females.

  • @Chokula99 - LOL, that "IS" cruel, I must agree!!!!!

  • wouldnt mind being one of his mistresses(sp??)....lol

  • Meyers should not have been picked,he looks nothing like Henry VIII,oh sure i bet he appeals to all you young ladies out there (probably why they chose him) but to me,to make a program about our history,they should use actors to fit the part.They are not even going to let Meyers use a fat suit!,he will stay athletic through out it all. In a show like this,i would expect the King to get fat,ill old and eventually die.Ratings over accuracy ect.This sucks balls compared to the Ray Winstone version.

  • @blaster2012 What? This is not a 'program about history' as you call it, but a program meant for ENTERTAINMENT. It's about ratings. Its about aesthetics. The director himself said that Showtime approached him to create a soap-opera like series. So what if they dont portray Henry as fat? No one wants to watch an old fat man getting it on with a bunch of young, sexy actresses (who are also unrealistic in terms of how their characters actually looked). Continue watching Winstone's version on repeat

  • @domjeamou Yes,i did state that it was ratings over accuracy.What we have here is a bastardised version of English history full of 'beautiful people',purely for entertainment value.Just because something happened 500 years ago doesn't mean the facts should be twisted around just to pull in viewers.Anyone who knows anything about this point in history will tell you a truthful portrayal would be just as entertaining,if not more so.

  • @blaster2012 Most of the inaccuracies are in the chronology, but you can't expect a series to rotate its main cast of characters so everyone is as old/fat/infirm as they should be in history.

    The important thing is that this series creates INTEREST in the Tudor Dynasty, King Henry VIII, and English history. Anyone who really watches the series is going to feel compelled to read the real historical details afterward, and that's a good thing.

  • He really knows what he's talkin' about.. And the way he's puttin' across this.. wow sooo hot:)

  • @RackGno Well, he's talking nonsense really, but he's very pretty so we'll forgive him. He talks about Henry having to be young to fall in love with Anne they way he did. Henry didn't meet Anne until he was 34 years old (not young at all in those days - he'd already been married to Catherine for 16 years) and he pursued her for 8 years before they married in 1533 when he was 42.

  • @gtimny To be fair, he's referring to the character being portrayed on Showtime. Of course its a reference to the actual history, but to make it more exciting, they made King Henry younger. So give the guy a break.

  • @Nobleskuld i will never be yank has u say im from south of us not north

  • He has the most beautiful eyes! They're very seductive.

  • A este hombre si le queda la frase del mítico Mauricio Garcés "Ha de ser terrible tenerme y después perderme" Si Enrique VIII hubiese estado así de hermoso....... no hubiese tenido que matar, exhiliar o cosa semejante a sus mujeres cuando se cansaba de ellas, con sólo decirles que lo habian perdido ¡Hubiesen muerto de pena!

  • Your features look like Simon Le Bon of D.D. Bellisimo!!!

  • @maibcn984 You can't be serious

  • he's good looking alright, but a right bastard! he's a priory regular and has been banned from more international airports than henry viii had wives... my kindda guy, love the show.

  • he is beautiful

  • i love him as henry, but god he seems so high here!

  • he is so gorgeous and he was amazing when playing king henry the VIII such a talented actor

  • He s a great actor- and he s good looking.

  • What is he wearing? :S

    lol anyway, it was a great show, Meyers' performance was phenomenal!

  • Haha, so funny how he starts out in his proper English TV accent, then as he gets fired up and passionate about his part he falls back in that EXTREMELY HOT Irish accent!

  • HE IS HOT!!!

  • i wana fuck him

  • Comment removed

  • wow hes smart! and cute too <3

  • красивый...талантливый...горрр­ячий ух...Джонатан Россия любит тебя!!!

  • I just LOVE what he says at the end about Elizabeth. She was the son he wanted so desperately. He would be so proud to see what she accomplished.

  • this guy is clearly eloquent and so hot ... i would kill to be in his company right about now

  • I am addicted to this show! Soo much history, drama, and romance!

    Jonathan Rhys Meyers, you are a sexy beast! haha

  • england suck usa saved a bs state

  • @becvictoria U mad, Yank?

  • I love the way he talks...espcially to the end.. well, its a fact that Elisabeth was even better than any son Henry could have ;)

  • @Wataame86 I think I love you.

  • back then being a woman in your late 30s was old most ppl would die by their 50s

  • umm katherine was only six years older and she wasn't even 40 when he left her and he was well into his thirties with anne boleyn. hmm too many mistakes...

  • even the creator of the series has said that they played fast and loose with the facts to move the stories along.

  • Are you listening to what he is saying??? He is deep, God =0) Keep Being Beautiful

  • @PowerpuffAmanda he is what now?

    Ugly?

    Jonathan Rhys Meyers? What? please! If he is ugly then what about Mr. Bean?

    it is your opinion of course and you can say whatever you want but believe me, this is the last thing i expected to hear for Jonathan Rhys Meyers...

  • @JRMtruelover Ha Ha! As Soon As I Read Your Comment The First Thing That Popped Into My Head Was An Image Of Mr Bean Playing The Part Of Henry VIII! LOL! That Would Have Been Amazing! :P

  • i love him.

  • Agh the irony of it all.

  • I love him in the role of henry. but theres only one thing against him. he does NOT look at all with henry VIII, physically, wich is a shame. still, very good actor in a very nice roll

  • @BustaHiman Jonathan has said in numerous interviews that he looks nothing like henry, but YES omg he is an amazing actor. And he's also BEAUTIFUL too! :D

  • @BustaHiman I'm sorry but if he had put on 100 or 200 lbs to play Henry, the wouldn't have been successful and people wouldn't had drooled all over him.

  • i like him <3

  • 2:57, omg im melting! :) i think its lovely how much he admires henry! it shows his passion for his roles in acting. x

  • I'm in love with him

  • Henry was 34 when he fell for an, not over 40... And his and Catherines marriage was arranged, they didn´t marry for love. Henry married his late brothers wife so that his father cold keep the dowry..

  • "You have to be young to fall in love the way he fell in love with Anne."

    He WASN'T young, he was middle aged!!! He was over 40!! And Henry and Catherine's marriage WASN'T arranged!

  • what history book are you looking at? the marriage was arranged...and Henry was relatively young...in his early/mid-thirties.

  • "The Tudors" est la meilleure série TV historique depuis Les Rois maudits" produits par la TV française dans les 70's.

  • This show is awsome and he plays his part outstandingly.

  • I agree.

  • I don't really know what he said. All I know is that his eyes were beautiful!!

    I thought they were looking at me!!

  • Yeah he is really cute!!

  • that too!!!!! and i love his accent.

  • Me to!!

  • Joder, este tío no es humano,

    en serio, es demasiado guapo para ser humano.

    En efecto, es extraterrestre y nos va a matar a tós.

    A TÓS

    jojo (dejar de chupar valiums y beber redbulls)

  • Out of all of henry's wives I think that Henry only truly loved 2. The first 2 Katherine and Anne. and these are the 2 women that he did the worst by. Katherine I believe was a good woman and Henry respected her as the mother of his child and as a good companion and friend. But it was Anne who he was in love with. for a man to do what he did and wait so damn long just so he could be with her. You have to be truly in love with that person. especially since he was king and could have anyone.

  • woah lol so many hormones of the ladies. but oh my gawd... his eyes!! hes sexyyyyy

  • oh, man, he's so hot. He's a real man!! And especially his torso. so cute.

  • his lips. oh my god ... .___.

  • ohhh my god he is so sexy, even though he's twice my age!

  • Damn, he is so fucking hot.

    I wanna hear him read me the Kama Sutra, then we could act out the book.

    Peace

  • You don't mean you admire that Thomas More had Protestants burned to death for their beliefs?

  • oh my god i did it AGAIN! said said said said! Jesus!

  • sorry, i misspelled "saild"...

  • i love the way he saild "his LOINS....."

  • henry was in his late 30s wen he met anne they didnt marry un till 1533 wen he was 44 how the hell is dat young by dat time he was becomin ill n he died wen he was 55

  • he was old when he was with anne. he doesnt no any thing.

  • LOINS

  • uhh; yupp

    he's mine !

  • "...but she got old"

    lol i just found that funny

    although i think he's wrong

    i don't think H8 ever loved catherine

    she lived in france and spain most of their married life anyway

    he's mega hawt though

  • Katherine did not live in France and Spain most of their married life. Once she left Spain to marry Henry's brother, Arthur, she never went back. She lived in England until the day she died. I agree with you on the JRM hotness though. LOL

  • Actually she didn't, she was never allowed to take Mary out of England, because she would have been too strong a pawn for the Spanish Emperor to use. It was a very strong and loving marriage, even Henry admitted this. After visiting Hampton Court in January, there is a whole area dedicated just to Henry and Catherine.

  • Comment removed

  • dang he looks all seductive in his eyes

  • 0:30 .. i just adore this guy ..

  • he could talk about rat farts && i would listen intently ^oO^

    but <3 the monarchy

  • oh my god he is so hot and i love his views on henry he makes him seem like a better man than depicted in history and i love what he said about elizabeth being the best son he could have hoped for but a woman cause she was a great leader

  • He is so cute and he's Irish lolz!!!!!!

  • i want to know what has happend to his accent ?

  • My favorite Irish actor :D <3 If you haven't seen Bend it Like Beckham, I highly recommend it <3

  • i had no idea who he was when i first saw that movie. all i thought was he's hot! then i found out who it was and the rest is history! i've seen way to many of his other movies! they are quite interesting!

  • fuck me Jonny <3

  • MIJITO RICOOOOOOO!!

  • i thought he was Irish..?

  • He is irish :D

  • english accent for filming. Christian Bale does it. Although, you can hear it come through at some points.

  • you are kindly recommended to pause it at 5.11 sec in order to see how sexy that man is!!!!!!!!

  • he can be my history teacher for sure ;)

  • If you can, pause it at 00:38

  • yummy lickylips

  • jonny me gustas si de verdad quieres ser feliz buscame...i will do it

  • Great history lesson - thanks! :D

  • Quant'è bono!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • he is right and is able to defend what he believes Henry the 8 is and believed and that I like. Well done!

  • Very good speech on henry i must say

  • What an intelligent guy..wow it's refreshing to hear these words comin out of a guy's mouth.He is absolutely perfect as Henry VIII.He plays him just as I imagine my favourite monarch in history to be:passionate,fiery in temper,obsessed,and incredibly wilful to the point of if you stood in his way,you would have been executed.He gets my applause,totally.I will be out buying all the series!

  • The Queen is so hot in this show

  • Absolutly great show, Jonathon is great in it.

  • wonderful boy!!!!!

  • i could easily have fallen in love with henry 8 if he looked like Jonathan- god he's sooo HOT!

  • i totally agree

  • Me too, he is very sexy! All the pics i have seen of Henry 8th look nothing like him! Blimey i would have been a mistress if he was.

  • Your right although there are actually very few pictures of Henry VIII, especially when he was the age he is in The Tudors.

  • he is gorgeous and sexy i love listen to him...His way to talk...his voice is amazing!

  • ive never been so in love with a man. hes absolutely gorgeous and his lips are delicious! ahh..im definitely in love with this guy.

  • His bottom teeth? They seem to stick out. Do't get me wrong folks, I would, but his teeth are a bit odd. Gorgeous though...

  • one of the best,most passionate actors around.

    love that man :)

  • What is he wearing?!

  • Clothes...duh.

  • Damn it...why does he have to wear clothes? =P

  • mary was a great leader too shes just murder many protestants

  • They did call her Bloody Mary for a reason.

  • Bloody Mary I mean Gosh nobody wanted to be in that court any longer you know. (off with their heads)

  • He is so pretty. :3

  • i love Jonathan Rhys Meyers i love the tudors the tudors see it march 30

  • his accent isnt as strong as i thought it would be

  • He forced himself to soften it when he started acting - made it more British rather then Irish for roles in movies and such. I think he did it around the same time he gained a crap load of muscle. To break the stereotypical roles and such, you know?

  • I love his eyes..

  • XD haha...in the middle of it I couldn't help but laugh...(about 2:45). it seems as if he was thinking about something else.

    but of course he is really hot, love the series!

    greets from germany!
