Joss Stone gives a tour of The Tudors Season 3 set
November 11, 2008 by Jillian Cohan
I think it’s so funny that British soul singer Joss Stone was asked to get her frump on for her role as Anne of Cleves on the upcoming season of The Tudors. Joss has serious vocal chops and she’s totally cute, so being cast as the “Flanders Mare” to King Henry’s sleek stallion seems a leetle bit of a stretch.
In an ET interview, Joss explains that Anne, while not as gorgeous as Jane Seymour or as bewitching as Anne Boelyn, was maybe not as homely as history has made her out to be. Henry couldn’t stand her though, Joss says, so he made her out to be fugly.
Asked if she’ll get hot and heavy with Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ randy king on Season 3, Joss laughed. Henry and Anne never consumated the marriage, which made it easy to ditch Anne, she said. Just as well, Joss admitted, ’cause she’d be totally embarassed to film a sex scene.

Season 3 of The Tudors is back on Showtime in April 2009.
