Heroes Can't Be Fat

Jonathan Rhys Meyers will be portraying King Henry VIII in the new TV series The Tudors.

"You're trying to sell a historical period drama to a country like America, you don't want a big, fat, 250 pounds, red haired guy with a beard," Rhys Meyers said. "It doesn't let people embrace the fantastic monarch he was, because they're not attracted to the package. Heroes do not look like Henry VIII. That is just the world we live in."
