The boys in their bloomers are back in town; yes The Tudors lads took a break from filming raunchy scenes to mingle at the launch of the Screen Directors Guild of Ireland. Lisa popped along to meet the cast to talk beards, bodices and booze...
When it comes to filmmaking, Xpose is always on the money. Tonight is no different at the Screen Directors Guild of Ireland honouring some of Ireland's top filmmakers and some of the cast and crew from The Tudors turned out to lend their support!
Lisa caught up with the hunky Henry Cavill, Rod Hallet and Andrew Mc Nair who were glad to be out of their bloomers!
So what is the event all about? Henry talked about finding a new young Irish director (but it seemed like Henry had memorised a press release) and was getting a mocking from his fellow Tudors colleagues as a result.
But what caught our eyes were there big burly bushy beards. Between this series and the last a lot of time has past and it is seen as a rather quick and easy way of looking a little older.
They may be getting older but that hasn't stopped the raunchiness. Henry said that he had many more raunchy scenes in season one but not as many in recent seasons.
With all that bodice ripping in the gilded armour it must be well... "heavy and hot" according to the Tudor boys.
The all important burning question is how is the king? Or rather Jonathon Rhys Myers? Henry insisted that Jonathon was well, it is always fantastic working with him as he is great fun and a good help.
So what about the incident of his little arrest in Paris? Well they insisted that a look a like has been flying around and causing trouble and insisted he was fine.
Tudors director Ciaran Donnelly explained what the night was really about. They try to make sure that Irish directors are kept working, paid well ,get what they deserve and the talent of people get opportunities to do great work at home or abroad. Great news for the Irish filmmaking community.
What about the heaving bosom female cast members that were sure to be glad of a night rest away from the king. Joanne King who plays Lady Rochford explained how its unusual to have a night off but they were in the next morning at 6am.
Tudors star and Jim Sheridan muse, Sarah Bolger was also in attendance. She explained how much she likes working with Jim Sheridan and sees him as a quasifather.
The final season of The Tudors is back on TV3 early next year.
