Hollywood heartthrob looks unrecognisable as he transforms into Henry VIII for upcoming historical film


He has played a range of roles throughout his successful career.

Starring alongside Alicia Vikander who plays Henry's sixth wife Katherine Parr, the film is based on the 2013 novel Queen's Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle. Henry and his first wife Catherine Of Aragon were married for over twenty years before he created the Church Of England in order to divorce her in the hopes of remarrying and securing a mail heir. Despite the lack of a romantic spark between the pair, Henry gave Anne a generous settlement and she outlived both him and his final two wives - Catherine Howard (beheaded) and Katherine Parr.
