Well he did think he was God, so healing would be right up his alley after that!

Great to have you aboard the wiki, DIzzyLizzy...do you have any pics of you in costume? We would love to have them on the extras pics pages.

Its true they did believe the king's touch could cure illnesses....perhaps its a way of showing the king's meglomania that he starts to believe he can cure people.

Yey! Some extra news! Thank you for coming along and sharing your experience with us!
I know the french kings were said to be healers just by touching sick people, part of the "I'm chosen by God's grace" deal...^^
Sorry to hear about your disease, musn't be fun but well... it's a nice opportunity to have been able to be a part of the Tudors!

Do you know at what point of the season the episode your in will be? Do you have some info about the context? (if that's not TOO spoilerish of course)
Did you have the chance to meet some other cast and/or crew?
Sorry if I look like a freak! lol!

Thx again for sharing!^^

Thanks for adding pix excellent!!!!!!! I should have said before JRM is an absolute Gentleman, he came up to me personally afterwards and thanked and I got a hug and two kisses for my trouble. I have to say that the scene I was in was quite scary cos everyone is sick and dying and I was not supposed to be with him but he came to me and it was cos I was bald do I care not a bit we had to re-takes 9 thank god and it wasnt me messing up it other actors ha - Love you for treating with such respect JRM you are a legend!

Wow! He actually seems like a lovely guy! So much better to hear what you say about him than reading aweful stuff in aweful damn tabloids!
Sounds very exciting! I cross my fingers for you hoping you'll get called again for filming in September! Meeting again with JRM is something you don't want to miss for the world, isn't it?!^^
I hope S4 is going to blow us away!!! Did you watch the show before being cast? How did it happen for you? Did you just auditionned?

I'll be sure to look for you! We had a gal who was an extra in several scenes of S2, she was easy to pick out from seeing her pictures, she was in the scene where Anne B. is led to the scaffold. She got a close up as well! That must be such fun. Do you find this valuable?

Wow! I hadn't seen those photos! And I forgot they were also in S3, I remember seeing jedishelly1 in that scene with Anne in S2 really clearly though.
