Lookss ;)
Tall and thickset, with blue-grey eyes, short auburn hair and a beard.
I was handsome in his youth, but became bloated and fat (I had a 54-inch waist when he was 50).
I dressed lavishly, wearing a gold collar with a diamond as big as a walnut and many jewelled rings.

Religion
I brought religious upheaval to England. When I became king, most people belonged to the Catholic Church, which was headed by the Pope, in Rome. In 1534, I broke away from the Catholic Church and proclaimed myself head of the Church of England. The land and riches of the church became my property and I sold off most of this land to dukes, barons and other noblemen.

Sports and Hobbies
I was a great athlete in his youth. I threw the javelin and enjoyed hunting, archery, jousting and tennis. I spoke French, Spanish, Latin and some Italian and was a good musician. I played the lute and harpsichord well and could sing from sight.
