Damian Lewis thinks he’s royalty

Wolf Hall star Damian Lewis has compared himself to British king Henry VIII. The 43-year-old, who is best known for portraying Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody in Homeland, is set to star as Henry VIII in Wolf Hall, a BBC adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s Man Booker Prize-winning historical novel. Lewis feels his elite upbringing at Eton College makes him the ideal candidate for  the role.
