Older‘The Tudors’ Kicks Off Season 2
Here are some sneak peek shots of co-stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Henry Cavill from the season 2 Ireland set of The Tudors!!
Season Two begins with Henry and Catherine still not quite divorced, and the nation in upheaval. Multiple Oscar nominee Peter O’Toole, 74, recently joined the cast as Pope Paul III.
“We’ve already written season two,” Showtime entertainment chief Robert Greenblatt says. “And it really is the marriage of Anne and Henry, which doesn’t happen until Episode Three. But then three through 10 are basically Anne of the Thousand Days, which is the three years of that marriage. She’s beheaded at the end of Episode 10, which won’t be a surprise to anybody. I think people do know that.”
And who can we expect to appear by the end of the second season? Jane Seymour! (Not Dr. Quinn…)
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ new look?

hate the beard but still sexy though :-)
He isn’t as cute.
Peter O’Toole? He shouldn’t start TV programmes!
wohooohoooooo!!! I love Henry Cavill. Heis going to be so big. Im so happy!!YAYY!!
… I think I’ld rather stare at Henry Cavill! :)
I’m loving Henry Cavill,, so gorgeous!
Cavill is better looking
I love me some JRM on most days but beside Henry, I’m sorry. That man can pull off any hair style and still be a total fox.
Is JRM still in rehab? What even happened with that, I don’t remember.
Henry Cavill is the foxy one! He’s GORGEOUS!
Is Jane Seymour really joining the cast??
Jane Seymour was thename of the woman who was Henry VIII’s 3rd wife.
I just asked because the main actress from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman is also named Jane Seymour. She was also in Wedding Crashers!
Is Henry Cavill gay?
JRM looks BEAT DOWN.
He was beautiful in Velvet Goldmine and Bend It Like Beckham. I don’t know what happened to him after that. Too much hard partying maybe.
JRM has crazy eyes..he looks possessed. Henry Cavill is way HOTT! Although I do like him with his hair shaved better. IMHO.
yes henry is gorgeous , but i never found out what disease king henry’s sister died of? i know she was coughing up blood right before she died, think it was some of the left over “sweating disease” that was plaguing the area a few episodes before?
Ooh lalala Monsieur Cavill. I wish I had showtime!
The actress who will play Jane Seymour (not Dr Quinn) hasn’t been named yet.
And Henry Cavill has denied being gay. I’m not sure where those rumours came from anyway. Just ’cause he’s pretty?
To add: Henry does have a lot of gay friends, though.
Team Henry Cavill all the way!
Cool, to bad I didnt even see season 1
Jane Seymour is not joining the cast. Henry’s 3rd wife was named Jane Seymour.
Don’t care for the new look of either of them, BUT they’re still both HOTTTT!
Damn he is sooo hot!! Almost as good looking as Orlando.
JRM has such kissable lips… not that i will ever get a taste of that :( i think he’s a good actor though, was good in match point. don’t know who that Henry guy is but looks pretty ordinary to me.
I agree that Henry Cavill will be hopefully comming into his own. I first noticed him in Tristan and Isolde. I like Rys-Meyers but I think Cavill has a bit more charisma, he just needs to grow into it.Get a chance at some leading roles and he’ll blow up large.
* Bites thumnail,anxiously awaiting Meadowlands*
Thanx, Sinsy
I think Jonathan is one hella sexy man…. lol
JRM looks pale..but still HOTT !!
Jonathan looks like a zombie. Fuc_king scary!!!!
Very strange casting. JRM is so pale and delicate in looks. In accordance with his portraits from that time, the real Henry was an incredibly handsome man, very powerful and well built with blazing golden-red hair. Previous TV serials on his life made by the BBC used actors who actually looked like Henry - I wonder why they choose JRM?
I think Henry Cavill is hot.
Henry is supposed to be fairer haired and robust, meaning not looking like always dying JRM
Henry Cavill is HOT! JRM looks nice :D
JRM always has meth eyes. I’d still hit it.
Rhys Meyer is such a weird looking guy … not hot!
Henry was always my favorite on the show! That’s the only reason why I even watch it! YAY HENRY!
JRM can give me that cold signature look he has and I’d still melt. I’ll be staring at those lips the whole time. (kiss me… kiss me… oh please kiss me… lol)
OHMYGOSSSHH i love them both!!! wooot woot
I absolutely am addicted to this show! I can’t wait until next season to watch Anne Bolyen get her head chopped off! It’s going to be a powerful performance. I hope they pick a great actress to play Jane Seymour.
And I agree Henry Cavill is my fave man candy to look at. Yummy!
Oh, and to answer someone’s question here… I believe Princess Margaret (Henry’s sister) died of “consumption” which was what they called tuberculosis back then. TB makes you cough up blood.
Cavill is totally gay and JRM is totally straight!
i love his beard! his soooo hot!
They need to have more Henry Cavill in season 2 (and more Henry Cavill nude ;) ) lol
Jonathan looked hotter before, but this look makes him look more “royal”. Henry CAvill looks better now. And if they had casted someone that looked like the real Henry VIII I wouldnt watch the show :P
Like JRM without the beard.
Henry’s sister Mary who is represented in Margaret is believed to have died of cancer.
Two of the most sexiest men. Should be on People Magazine list of sexiest men.
Henry Cavill is SO HOT YUMMY!!
Henry Cavill is nice but a very ordinary type of guy
Jonathan Rhys Meyer is extraordinary HOT.
Cripes, is there a Season for each marriage?
Well, more historically inaccurate, bodice-ripping fun I suppose. Whoopee.
Apparently the Margaret character is an amalgamation of the two sisters of Henry VIII. Let’s get real.
Princess Margaret died of “consumption” better known today as Tuberculosis. Incidentally, Charles Brandon, Duke Of Suffolk died of the sweating sickness in or around 1485 so we might not be seeing a whole lot more of Mr. Caville
Instead of speaking tosh about how sexy looking or s*** worthy the leading men are (god do you ladies think about anything other than blokes who would never look at you….ever), maybe the dim-witted tarts on this site should be praising the acting, costumes and locations in the really quite decent drama series.
Hey before this drama was aired in the States I doubt you lot knew anything about our British History or could be bothered to find out. Add a few good looking slap heads writhing around naked and your off. The word shallow comes to mind. These guys are poofy actors. The real men are out in Iraq and Afghanistan or working as Paramedics on the streets of New York or London.
Go Figure my lovelies…..
phwoar am a mega huge fan of JRM think hes stunning oh and that beard just makes him even hotter
Finally, a real man. Not cute, adorable, boyish, bla-bla but MAN!!! Henry Cavill has everything! - not just looks, built and height to say the least, but a tantalisingly delish smile which makes his eyes sparkle meltingly and a masculine voice that makes me tremble!
I so agree with all the rest of the Henry Cavill team & “haha - wohooohoooooo!!! I love Henry Cavill. He is going to be so big. Im so happy!!YAYY!!”
Dear Robin,
I am not from the states and I’ve always loved England (for its traditions, atmosphere, literature and myths amongst other things) and certainly know more about it than you know or even I know about my country. I studied English history in school and went to university in England.
There’s no need to be sooo serious or derogatory. The whole point about tv is fantasy and an avenue to escape from the sometimes mundane reality of daily life and don’t tell me that men don’t go on about women either (does that automatically make men shallow dim-wits?) So we ladies are more than entitled to have a bit of fun and gush about the sights we have been blessed to behold.
When one is serious, of course one would agree with you that the acting, costumes and locations make this a pretty decent drama series.
And continuing on a serious mien, naturally the men who really matter to us are the ones who go through the daily grind of life with us like our fathers, husbands, brothers, pastors, teachers, leaders, etc.. They are the ones that make life worthwhile. But I still don’t think there is anything wrong in enjoying that little bit of tv in any way we wish to!
Robin,
Who died and made you the moral judge? I believe that you are the biggest hypocrite there ever was. I don’t believe for a second that you have NEVER commented on a woman or man being attractive (depending on whichever way you swing). So, who are you to judge these women as “shallow” and “dim-witted tarts?”
I must say you sound very bitter. My guess is that you lack self-esteem and any sense of self-worth, and as such, you feel resentful towards women who comment on the attractiveness of other men.
Please get off your high horse and do not ramble about unrelated topics of the qualities that a “real man” should possess. I can say this, however: a real man would not have posted such sexist and derogatory comments.
Go Figure Your Ugliness :)
To me, the two leading are hot but in different ways: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (a.k.a El Rhyssi lol) is the creepy hot guy, the one who seems seductive but otherworldly, like Anne Rice’s vampires. As for Henry Cavill, at the beginning of his career, he was not noticeable to me : he just looked like a beautiful kid but now, being casted in the Tudors, he looks so manly, broody and rugged (I think he should put more muscles and have them defined). Anyway, I hope for them to have a great career!
Robin must be frigid and bitter
Henry is hot but JRM is perfect….yummy!!!!
wawawiwa their both sexy, thats y i watch them lol
Jonathan is very hot! The new look is great…but of course he looks amazing no matter what. I just love how sexy he is on the Tudors.
To the person earlier who stated that JRM and Henry Cavill should be in the list of People’s sexiest men alive….Jonathan was voted one of the sexiest men alive for 2007. =-) He certainly deserves the title!
I think Henry Cavill is just a littel too plain. He’s handsome, but plain. JRM is super unique and thos eyes make me want to melt. That shirtless, pomegranate eating scene..grrrrrr
JRM is sooo much cuter than the other guy. I agree, get rid of the beard. Funny, the real Henry was no looker and the real Ann Bolen was quite the bow-wow too.
There’s no doubt Rhys Myers is an excellent actor, but why bother to ask about his new look when the Henry we all want to watch is called Cavill. YUM YUM….
Henry’s sister dies of consumption, aka tuberculosis. That is what it is called.
@rachel:
I love you!!!
Henry Cavill is so amazingly good looking! AND he’s great actor!
