JRM is in no way physically similar to H8, even when Henry was a handsome, athletic, young monarch.
That being said, it's his acting ability that pulls it off. I've gotten used to JRM as Henry, despite the fact that JRM is not 6'4 & blonde. He isn't becoming old & fat as the real Henry was at this point in the series, however, once you get over that, you can see him morph in other ways. Do you find this valuable?
