Henry viii was actually muscular- fat. Like he was a bit tubby but he was also an accomplished wrestler who worked out all the time and he was known for that during his own lifetime.

The entire image of Henry as an obese idiotic manchild is because of the Charles Laughton movie which depicted him that way. It just entered the popular consciousness and never left.
