Question: In BBC's 'The Tudors' why is Henry VIII so badly cast!?
In BBC's 'The Tudors' why is Henry VIII cast as a short Irish dark haired effeminate modern man when the real Henry was TALL & with the years got very fat not to mention he was supposed to be blonde or reddish blond with a thick set body!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks it is a crying shame!. I watched it for a couple of weeks and then had to stop watching I thought the casting was so terrible!. And personally, Natalie Dormer, while a fabulous actress, doesn't make a believable Anne Boleyn to me either!.

Edit: And while we're on the subject of Henry VIII, I can't I was convinced about the casting for The Other Boleyn Girl (the film) either!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think it's because Henry VIII was considered attractive in his day, so an actor who is also considered attractive by many people was cast in the part!.

None of the cast look like the real people they are portraying!. Charles Brandon wasn't anywhere near as pretty as Henry Cavill, but no one is complaining about him!. It's only because Henry VIII is such a well recognised figure that it's noticeable!.

Once you get past those differences and the amount of factual inaccuracies, the show is extremely entertaining and, let's face it, that's what the show is billed as - entertainment!. If you want fact, watch a documentary or read one of David Starkey's books on the subject!Www@Enter-QA@Com

because if they cast people that resembled henry people wouldn't be as interested !.!.!.!. its full of good looking people and the plot is alot more exciting than the real story !.!.!.!. i think tudors is great !.!.!.even though i know alot of what happens in tudors isn't what really happened or how the people really looked Www@Enter-QA@Com

because hes pretty to watch !. !. !. and lets face it thers a lota sex in this show - who wants to see tha fat henry !. !. really!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

I believe for some people he might be pretty, but they could have chosen a different actor, dont you think!? At least someone that shows some resemblace to Henry VIII!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think Phil MItchell would make a good Henry VIIIWww@Enter-QA@Com

So that we can all appreciate why so many women would want to be with him, I'm convinced!Www@Enter-QA@Com
