Tudors- Pomegranate

[KrunkPrincess15]

To the non history people out there, the Pomegranate is Catherine of Aragon's crest, he cut it open to see if there were a lot of seeds which would show he was fertile, that's why he smiled when he saw how full it was.

[nazigurl23]

the guy in the backgroung was okaay watching this guy suck this pomergrante is awkwaard

[jessikagurl101]

I'm pretty sure a pomegrantate was like midevil viagra haha.

[DeidaraNSasorizKitty]

Oh dear...

I'm feeling faint.

[TheJayit]

Oh. My. God. I never thought I could be so jealous of a fruit. Until now.

[Gabe07ify]

The Tudor rose is like a pomegranate

[27snyde]

crap! that was soooo sexy!!!

[sugga]

@27snyde take a look at his stomach mmm.

[BlueMiscellany]

Vagina fruit ;)

[MsAnnDee]

What makes this even...better? ...Funnier? Is that he doesn't rip the two ends apart...he leaves em together so it looks more like...well...*ahem*

[Heidistuart]

My god he makes eating fruit sexy!

[MariaNKellyKellyxx]

Omg sooooooooo frickin sexy !!!!! That fruit is one lucky guy !!!!

[soccergirl97979]

... *shudders*

[Sarcastic07]

You know I have eaten pomegranates before, but I do not look THAT good eating them. I spend most of the time spitting out the seeds.

[CharlotteAttacksYou]

@Sarcastic07 I use a spoon :D

[bc7ate9]

This video makes me crave pomegranates...and I don't even like pomegranates....!

[chocolatefountain95]

@bc7ate9

I've never even had one before

[PureJockPureBrit]

As a guy, I find it funny that this turns any girl on! Forgive me though, when I first saw this scene I was thinking "damn, I wish I had some juicy fruit like that just now". Now I understand the purpose it was serving for female viewers ;)

Should I do a scene like this with the next girl I bring home? :P

[stitchgrl777]

oh. my.

god.

[fahera]

That scene was sadly enough to turn any girl on.

[elinheartstristin]

i see london i see france i see his majesty's underpants!! =D

[juss4me1234]

I suddenly wish to be a pomegranate ;)

[redhead1892]

lol the guy behind him is kinda like.. "dude.. wtf are you doing to that thing??"

[samsagitarias]

I thought that the eating of the fruit was meant to represent fertility ? When cut open , if the fruit is ripe and full of seeds, and the eating of it, then it would portend , at least to the thinking of the time, that if Henry were to lie with his wife Catherine that night, that their union would be fruitful - at least thats how it seems, as ate the fruit just before he went to Catherines chambers - though of course she wasnt there so he slept with one of her ladies instead .

[LostYesterday]

@samsagitarias That's exactly right, and Catherine's badge was a Pomegranate, it had been since she was 15.

[finnishgirl1987]

Om nom nom :p

...the pomegranate also looks good.

[TheFateOfAlchemy]

The Pomegranate is part of Catherine of Aragon's (Henry VIII's first wife) coat of arms. So this shows that for now he still considers their mariage legitimate as he is "eating her fruit"... Later in the season, we can see a pamphlet with a dove pecking at a pomegranate. The Dove is in Anne Boleyn's coat of arms and thus shows the shift of favorabitlity among the two women for the king.

[GooseRain]

nice work with the symbolism ;-)

[xsexyminxyx]

lol yeah just what i was thinking :)

also the swan represents anne throughout season two.

she was dressed in a costume inspired by edvard monk and swans,

her neck was said to be long (like a swans)

she was said to be beautiful and graceful like a swan

and at the end after she is beheaded, henry is eating a swan pie.

devouring anne and the once precious being she was...

[sayuri8]

this is correct, except its a falcon was her coat of arms.

[um22w22]

Are you a literature student?

Great analysis!

[evaperonfan]

I hate Anne Boleyn! THe more I think about her, the more I wish she'd never existed!

[gramsci1111]

hot, sweet, juicy man...lucky fruit too, I mean, the lucky pageboy...

[friendly406]

What's the song at the beginning? I like it ^_^ Lol.

[xxBunnyKnoTxx]

Mr. Wonderful, it's used a lot for amv's on this site.

[FayeShinomori]

I'm just going to go off and drool now.

[onlybaby90]

OMG I think I just had an orgasm...Meyers is soooo sexy!!

[BroadwayAriel]

yeah i think I just had an orgasm also watching this :)

[chocolateboyluver666]

OMG i just realized who that is!! it's brian slade from velvet goldmine! no wonder i found him so painfully attractive!!!

[beautifullytragic1]

*raises hand* I've always found that pomegranates are the sexiest fruit of them all. Even before this.

[;

[shados343]

yummmmmm

[Medusa0999]

Richard III in the background! ^^

[ForEverSnoopy]

I tried eating a pomegranate like that. It tasted terrible. You need to remove the berries inside and eat them my mistake.

[LostInATrancee]

lol i like the song xD 0:20

[machinadeferia]

I wish that pomegranate was a certain part of my body.

[chocolateboyluver666]

[AWickedMind]

[melloe]

[pepitamargarita]

[3timesmama]

What I would like to know is what kind of abdominal surgery did JRM have, and when.

[Jellyroll2]

I believe he had surgery for an ulcer. It was a few years ago but I'm not sure how long.

[xxcookiejord]

ohhhhh i really wish he could fuck me!

[BroadwayAriel]

I will never look at a pomegranate without thinking about wanting JRM!!!

[actmishart]

yeah totally JRM reminds me of joaquin phoenix but younger and hotter

[momentarylapseX]

JESUS CHRISSSSSSSSSST!

[gingersnapz28]

oooohh...that was hott! XD

[RockstarDiva92]

that just made my day

[noodlemonkey6]

soooo cute!!!!!!!!!!at the begining

[suggestimmad]

why did they have to interrupt him exactly when he was taking his clothes off? xD

[edrcom]

This is especially significant as Catherine's emblem was the pomegranate. Also the pomegranate signifies fertility The pomegranate is a symbol of fertility and abundance.

'The association is derived from the fact that the pomegranate is a fruit composed almost entirely of seeds and was thought to reproduce itself prodigiously because of this'

So there you go!!

[noochen]

i thought he unbuttoned b4 eating that fruit. so sexy....mmmmmmm

[theangieaddiction]

mmmmmm

[Hannah36963]

Go Gir! Dance like a monkey!!!

[LovingJamesMcAvoy]

he looks hot even eating a piece of fruit!

I thought pomegranites were an afrodisiac in those days and he had to eat one because he didn't like the idea of going to Catherine's bed chamber.

[RieRieGirl]

Yum. I don't think there is anybody who could've done that better.

[pinkpolkadots17]

wow he ate that sexy! go jonathan! lol

[Jellyroll2]

Yes, Katherine's symbol was the pomegranate. It can be seen on her badges and everything. It was a sign of fertility and also a big symbol in Spain.

[suebean4444]

As hot as it looks, this was a way to freshen the breath before the days of minty

fresh gel toothpaste. Esp. before having 'company'. Pommegranite is a sexy fruit though. It would not be as visual if his manservant brought him a cup of Listerine.

[fireinthetacobell]

45 seconds into it I wish was my nipple. YEAH.

[perfect10gymnst]

i can think of something better than the nipple :X

[soccergirl97979]

wow, never in all my life have i wanted 2 b a fruit let alone a pomegrante

[FallenAngel534]

That pomeegrante is lucky. It got to be bitten and sucked my JRM.

[mom2the3rd]

i am consumed by jealousy of a pomegranate

[laliali]

hahah LOL

So am I!!!!

[vivervite]

i never thought that i would ever want to be a pomegranate...

[yummeistrawberries]

oh gawd thats so hot ^-^

[myfloppy3]

The Pomegranate is also a poem by an Irish poet called Eavan Boland, its all about how she cannot protect her daughter from losing her purity(possibly virginity) and her worrying. The pomegranate is like a forbidden fruit as it lies next to her daughter uncut i.e. unexperienced.

[guiltilysinful]

Three names Hades, Persephone and Demeter.

[myfloppy3]

I know what the three names are . . . . Ceres is the mother I think and ;ersephone is the banished daughter in the poem who can only return during the year's first fertility, e.g. Spring. Who is demeter ?

[guiltilysinful]

No, I'm talking about the Greek mythology. Demeter is the mom. Ceres is the Roman version for it.

[sweetiegenie]

i like how he began to smile as he opened it. Yum~

[cowsandcavys]

ahaha wtf??

[FayeShinomori]

What is the show that the first comes from? It's hilarious!

[Piper259]

Ahhh, that guy makes everything that he does sexy. (sigh)

[princessmj15]

omfgeee he's friggen SEXY! who knew pomegranates were so hot?! well their not. their only hot when JRM does it :))))

[yakface2006]

The Pomegranate was Queen Katherine's symbol

[hozsam]

Are you sure?

a. Henry was never sexually mad about Katherine

b. Tudor/Elizabethan society believed the pomegranate resembled the ehem...female genitals...which is why he smiles when he "opens it up" and why "eats" like that. (There's an example of this connotation in Romeo & Juliet somewhere, probably a Mercutio quote but not sure.)It's not likely the Queen would have wanted to be associated with that!

Apologies if you're actually right just thought I'd throw in what I know.

[RieRieGirl]

Wow, that's very...interesting...

[kymkym121]

Even if you are wrong it still sounds really interesting,and true.

[LNor19]

Yeah, a pomegranate was KoA's emblem. If you look up her badge you'll see it, also Pomegranate's were very common where Katherine grew up in Spain, that's were her symbol comes from. The pomegranate represented Fertility.

Up until about 1518 when Katherine suffered her last stillbirth, Henry was pretty crazy about Katherine both sexually and emotionally.

[evaperonfan]

And then that bitch Anne Boleyn came along and ruined Katharine's life and England!

[iami5o4]

OMG its G.I.R! I love G.I.R. XD

[lovelifejen7]

.....................wow....

can anyone please tell me where i can watch this show since the very first ep? please send me a message.

[pyro1633]

He is such an amazing actor. One of a kind.

[alnico3]

Why does he smirk and chuckle when he opens it? I don't get it lol.

[VioletsandRoses12]

Because he was about to stuff his cod piece with it and a pomegranate is full of seed... something I king needs to have a heir... get it?

[BasukiSilenus]

Haha nicee >w>

Dude.. I want a pomegranate now o.o

[asian9090]

the guy in the back with the flower was getting worked up hen he ate the pomegranate

[toothbrush55]

Are pomegranates meant to be an aphrodisiac? LOL

But I feel so sorry for Queen Katherine in this scene :(

[VelvetVixen21]

Your intro was longer than the actual scene. That dude is SO INTENSE!!! Pomegranates beware!  :)

[maneatingsushiroll]

What a coincidence. I love pomegranates AND Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

[Lajune01]

His underwear is unbuttoned at :25, but at :41 they're buttoned again. O.o

[bulgariantreasure]

[KaYfAbE16]

[FlametteX]

[kissofdeath0506]

People. it's just a fruit, and it's just a guy eating it.

[nancydrew999]

I hate pomegranates they taste fowl!! It has lots of seed in it.

[Chelseagirl74]

lol it's "foul" actually "fowl" means chickens and other birds!

[Mienaina]

Oh my God...Johnny, take me now

Fucking lucky pomegranate.

[Azngrlharmony503]

i know!!! omg...

[Blackjack185]

I want a pomegranate now! But anyway lucky fruit and lucky servant boy! He gets to watch him all day.

[mermeredith]

holy. shit.

[Blackjack185]

What? Why?

[fifi153]

You are wrong "Patrck3183" Henry the VIII in his youger years was considered a very handsome monarch; he had many misstresess. It was until his 40's when he acquired an ulcer in his leg that he was not able to excersise since he loved sports,etc.

[Patrick3183]

Yuck. NOT hot. Henry didn't physically look like that either...

[orcatipp]

i agree with patrick 3183. henry was much much taller and buffer...i mean, jonathan does a fine adaptation of him and is a wonderful actor...

but henry just didn't look like that.

[justlooking213]

You notice how Buckingham The guy they beheaded back in season 1 He looked more like the real Henry (larger frame & red hair) It was almost like Okay people forget about this Henry We're killing the old Henry This is the new Henry long live JRM! If the show has a problem its the scripts the writing & THE PACING not the cast When Hirst said he was relying not great actors to unmemorable dialog memorable He wasnt kidding But theres only so much the cast can do

[queenme222]

actually this is showing the younger sexier down right hot side of him

[justlooking213]

Ok theres some LOL-cat grammar in that sentence so heres how it should have read: When Michael Hirst said he was relying on great actors to make unmemorable dialog memorable he wasnt kidding

[solitarysoul92]

wow.

[sarahobo]

oh my god sexme

[JulesREZ05]

oh my god. who knew pomegranates would make me blush?

[sleepingbeauty92]

Wth? It's not that sexy, if at all, it's fruit!

[crazyequalsfun]

[stephjr]

He was eating that fruit like it was p*ssy!

[TudorRose85]

I Probably would never of tryed a pomegranate if I hadn't seen this. I had one last night for the first time.

[Baledwyr]
