They finally age Henry in Season 4 of The Tudors but only by greying his hair slightly and padding him out a bit, they certainly don't make him as big as he was in real life at that time. I can't say it bothers me too much because I think that Michael Hirst does show a deterioration in Henry's character. In the first series, we see him as a young, sexy King, full of vitality and then in the final season we see him suffering badly with his leg and health in general, becoming even more bitter and twisted, and being a shadow of his former self. I think it does get the point across.
