HOT FIND - Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as King Henry VIII

He's played Elvis. He's played a David Bowie type glam rocker in "Velvet Underground" and he killed Scarlett Johansson in "Match Point" - but can Jonathan Rhys-Meyers make King Henry VIII a sex symbol??

If these promotional shots for the brand new Showtime original series - "The Tudors" are any indication - I'm going to say Yes!

Premiering on April 1st - the series will chronicle the early years of the most infamous King ever to rule Great Britain. Concentrating on his sexual conquests as well as political - Rhys-Meyers looks like he has exactly what it takes! I definitely like what I am seeing so far!

Enjoy!
