One of the most shocking scenes in the upcoming Mary Queen of Scots movie comes when Mary Stuart, played by Saoirse Ronan, walks in on her husband Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley in bed with her gay male courtesan, David Rizzio, on her wedding night in 1565.
The movie takes some liberties with historical accuracy — Mary and Queen Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie) never met as their faceoff scene suggests — but historian John Guy, whose book Queen of Scots: The True Story of Mary Stuart serves as the historical basis for the film, assures the Henry (Jack Lowden) and Rizzio (Ismal Cruz Cordova...

Hanna star Saoirse Ronan is set to play the title role in the period drama, Mary Queen Of Scots. The movie was written by Michael Hirst (Elizabeth, Elizabeth: The Golden Age), and is obviously based on Mary, who was crowned the queen of Scotland before she was a year old.
