“…the chronicles and letter-writers pass over them in virtual silence once [Anne] has become Queen. Only the accident of her trial lets us see her dancing with her ladies and the gentleman of the court in her bed chamber. ” – Eric Ives in The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn
Young, incredibly attractive, vibrant male with a lot of energy, a lot of intelligence and wit. Charisma. The parallels just speak. It’s method acting – he’s cheating! He’s got such intensity, such focus. You get drawn in to it – it’s easy to play a woman who becomes infatuated with him. He sucks you in. Those eyes and …. it’s easy.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers (on Natalie):
Natalie is extraordinary. She’s such a technician, as an actress. Natalie trained. She’s the epitome of when training meets talent in the best way possible. She’s naturally gifted and comes alive on camera. It’s a fantastic mixture.
“There is a world beyond this black world. There is a world of the possible. A world where Anne can be Queen is a world where Cromwell can be Cromwell. He sees it; then he doesn’t. The moment is fleeting. But insight cannot be taken back. You cannot return to the moment you were in before.” – [ x ]
