That time Henry VIII’s infamous JO scene on ‘The Tudors’ made a mess of history
Netflix‘s new historical drama, Blood, Sex, & Royalty, features the strikingly hot (and gay!) actor Max Parker as the famously awful King Henry VIII.Just witness this beautiful man, and then notice how the history books tell us Henry actually looked.
Something simply does not compute!waaah waaah, the dumptruck police have started. the actor is gay and hot (and engaged). has a nice a butt.
hotter than henry would ever be. that’s all. pic.twitter.com/y5vfiXBfah— alex (@alex_abads) November 29, 2022Related: Unfortunately, this gay British actor is so hot he’s making us thirsty for Henry VIIIBut, once we wiped the drool from our faces, we realized there is actually plenty of precedent for depicting this wife-collecting royal as inaccurately sexy.
We can’t forget Eric Bana’s smoldering take on the tyrannical monarch in The Other Boleyn Girl, or Damien Lewis as a particularly hot—and hot-tempered—king in Wolf Hall.
