Jonathan Rhys-Meyers will wear screen legend Errol Flynn's cast-off clothes when he plays a young King Henry VIII in a new TV mini-series.

The Irish actor will portray the six-times wed English king in new series "The Tudors," and costume designers chose to plunder Hollywood's vaults for some of his outfits. Some of the clothing he will wear once adorned swashbuckler Flynn in his period dramas in the 1930s and 1940s.

"The Tudors" will also feature Australian actor Sam Neill and Jeremy Northam.
