Speaking on Entertainment Weekly’s podcast (H𓆉/T ), Considine c✅onfirmed that the king’s sores and missing fingers are a result of a "form of leprosy."

"It becomes a metaphor for being king, and the stress and strain that it puts on you, and what it does to you physically, what it does to you mentally," Considine sa꧋id.
