Jonathan Rhys MeyersJonathan Rhys MeyersJonathan Rhys Meyers is no prude.

He reckons sleeping with over 20 people "isn't so much".

But he's not talking about himself.

No, like any serious actor he's discussing the realities of the character he's now famous for playing - King Henry VIII.

The sexy star of The Tudors rather racily announced on This Morning: "In The Tudors I've only slept with like 22 people.

"Which is not bad because if I go out in London on a Saturday night and I say to some handsome young dude or some handsome young girl that's standing in the club: 'How many people have you slept with this year?, 'Er, about 50'. So it's not so much."

Goodness - what would Fern Britton have made of that?

The chiseled actor added: "Henry was much more prudish in history than we portray him in The Tudors.

"But sex happened and sex was very much a matter of state then."
