I think he would be a politician but secretly wanting to be the next Tom Jones.

Today, he would have been a politician. Although he was not the most intelligent of monarchs, he was power-hungry and fairly shrewd. He truly believed in the divine right of monarchs, so if he were alive today, then he would do anything to preserve his power - a genuine politician!

I think Henry VIII was reincarnated as Hugh Heffner - he certainly would have loved the bunnies!

Henry was very into change on the political side of things so I think he would have made a great prime Minister!!! Or maybe the head of the C of E. Whatever it was, Henry was bound to have done very well. He excelled at sport, music, history, etc etc.

He was a larger than life person so he would have to be a rock star.

Henry would be a rock star! No doubt. He was a musician and loved the spotlight and the bling. He also enjoyed having his "groupies".
