The Tudors: The New Henry VIII

[digikitty11]

I have to keep in mind that this is a dramatization and not historically accurate. For instance, when Henry married Catherine Parr, he was very ill and could barely walk at all, and was grossly obese. According to the historical records, Henry was tall, over 6', and with a much stronger build. He had red-gold hair which was not worn short especially when young. The best portrayer of Henry VIII in my opinion was Keith Michell. It was astonishing how much he actually looked like the real Henry.

[goldenmunky123]

of course it is historically incorrect - they need attractive actors to get views; the real tudors would have had rotting teeth as they didn't brush them, and only bathed about 4 times a year... and that was the upper class. i think the series is very well done but not at all completely correct; wolsey's death for example. actors are so good that i can't really stop watching despite the mistakes... it's fucking shit that the americans pronounce 'tudors' wrong and say it at the beginning though.

JRM IS GREAT AND SO SEXY

True Henry was too fat it made him very unattractive

[powerdriller10]

These series are the most historical incorrect of all filmed or recorded. The actor does not look at all like the real Henry VIII. Not even in Henry VIII youth he was slender. In real history, when marrying Catherine Howard, Henry was already impotent and his ulcerous wound was produced by gout. In the series, the wound is a badly treated injury made by falling from a horse and Henry is still sexually capable at age of 45.

In the series Henry does not become fat until a week before his death.

Who was the one to give him a son? I don't watch the series but I am intrigued!

[ShortestShowShown]

@tayl0147 Jane Seymour...she died in childbirth though.

[LaBoricua2591]

@tayl0147 His mistress, Elizabeth Blount

What in Gods name is that song! Its going to drive me crazy, when I was little my mom would hum me that tune in order to calm me down.

Such a beautiful melody.

[KittehKatful]

@Galather0 It is "Greensleeves," which is rumored to have been written by HVIII himself

[molarmama5]

I thought that Steven Waddington would have made a better Henry the VIII>

He looks the part and is a damned excellent actor!

[spunkygen49]

I'm dissapointed that they didn't go on with the rest of the series. If it's called the tudors, why is King henry the only king in it?

[kozykatz119]

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the most awesome Henry VIII ever!

[hufschmidguitars1]

@kozykatz119 and one of the greatest actors of this century IMO

[PeaceLoveSmile4]

loooooooove this show!!!! he does soo good :)

[BabyDenuka]

Ahahaha amazing vid!!!

[elinheartstristin]

@glamourennui actually, this is original compared to all the other henry 8 movies, this show is actually the most original.

[elinheartstristin]

LOL "HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT MEE!!"

[clottecta]

shit, JRM is hot

[TheMrValejrm]

I love it

[KMbatia1]

I thought henry cavil was his characters name and Charles Brandon his REAL name....

[seccentrix]

To sparsani28 : I think that's the WHOLE point of the show. Producers and writers have stated that they wanted something " different " and it was loosely ( on purpose ) based on Henry VIII's life. They simply wanted a show that showed the " rock star " quality of a king...

[um22w22]

yes with a soft porn touch too.

[mikelheron20]

Ray Winston's barrow boy cockney accent made me expect him to break into "I'm Enery the Eigth I am" . He played Henry VIII like an East end mobster.

[ollierat9]

Henry VIII had more in common with an east end mobster than with modern royalty. Total control,

advancement dependant on favourtism & a ruthless destruction on anyone who stood in your way. Casting Ray was a clever nod to the political realities of tudor england.

[katharinethequene]

I agrre, why did they have mess up the ages so much? and the apperances?

[pickguard1993]

Why do u guys give Spanish comments a thumbs down.The guy just said he looked forward to watching this show

[kajenniffer]

no me gusta mas el personaje y caom lo interpreta anne boleyn

[ginginnyme]

His eyes are gorgeous.

[ginginnyme]

God he looked so good when he was bare chested and screaming " OF ME!" he is so sexy.

[vamphyria]

Catalina de aragón, si bien era rubia, es lo mejor de la serie!!!!!

[piratesfan123]

So funny i love the line Fu**ing Uncle. They didnt have that in the show. Too bad that would have been great.

[Straphis2001]

Get the DVD's  or just rent'em, wait till you hear the "So your a F'ing virigin" line. its classic!

[piratesfan123]

I don't know about anyone else. But i like this Henry.

[leggomyeggo05]

i like henry!!

[CitrusFruit]

"HIS FU**ING UNCLE!" HAHAHA I've only seen the first episode so far.

[yard90]

I wish Chuck Wales were at least a little bit like HIM.

[MostHauntedCharmedG]

this aint dexter

[KrushLuck]

crazy henry

[starrynightz]

henry the Viii as a brunette?

[SilverDrama]

omg jrm is hot!

[shsajsajjdhdahdsahja]

i think it is original, i mean all Henry the VIII movies have him as an aging fat turkey leg eating old man

but this series show him as he is : a man - mainly a young good looking man

Granted someone who was too cocky for his own good , a perve who was too fond of the axe to get his way

but he was still a human with good point and bad point

[XBrittneyBlueX]

urm.. yea king henry VIII was much of a pervert. if u would read books that r about him, u would kinda see that they describe him alot like wut these shows describe him as. of course i am against sexed up shows and stuff.. but this is kinda true.. the portrayal, i mean.. the portrayal of king henry the VIII and so on...

[SilverDrama]

Henry VIII or Frat Boy??

[notalone87]

i want to see these!

[anticliche321]

lol sexy.. I wanna see more henry cavill though

[Elisabetta611]

I totally agree!

[funrunla]

uh oh...looks really bad

[william0076]

ill laugh if the baby pop him in the face or peed on him the king would chop his head off =s

[ninjasplice28]

This is so bad it makes me want to punch that overly dramatic cockmongler in the throat. Do we get to to watch this prick deflower young peasant girls on the eve of their weddings? How many of them does he pass his syphilis onto?

[gottrimmtrabb]

Um...do you need a minute alone?

[XoXoHannaXoXo]

woah henry has a son whoopdi doo lol. weird but funny with the replaying thing :p
