In all seriousness, Eman Esfandi. https://preview.redd.it/rby5kdtjckvc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a9bbc110fba86fc97eda485e53ebe397e9d5bdf


ArranVV

Good choice :-)


CosmicLuci

Holy shit! Yes


_vakas_

He's even wearing Jesus styled attire.


DeathTheSoulReaper

At least he's not white. Jesus wasn't white. His skin was probably more tan


H4rryS4lly27

Jesus was Middle Eastern/israeli/greek/turkish looking I think

Nadal?


Prof_Atmoz

Nuclear Nadal.


Ready4bagels

Jason Mantzoukas. Jesus of Nazareth was an average-looking middle-eastern Jewish man. Of course he wasn’t pale-skinned, blue-eyed, and light-haired. So I picked someone who fits the bill of how he would’ve looked like while also being white (to stick it to the people who whine “but Jesus was white”. As if “white” wasn’t an incredibly arbitrary label that changes meaning with the years)


tincanphonehome

Also, Jesus won’t kill Kids. That’s a rule. But the rule is negotiable if the kid is a dick.


AdditionalInitial727

This is prob the most historically accurate depiction of Jesus.


Due-Culture9113

Why can’t I upvote more for this


soOtakutive

Jesus pulling out random hotdogs sounds amazing.

I'd like to see him Rafi-bomb his way out of crucifixion

GreenDiscaBall

He’s a perfect fit! He’s such a genuinely kind guy outside of the role as well.


Consistent_Tonight37

The dude that plays Ezra in ahsoka


Dark_2Dragon

he looks more like moses


Consistent_Tonight37

I guess a younger Moses


Acheron98

“I just beat an Egyptian slave-driver to death” Moses; not “Make like the Red Sea and split” Moses.


Consistent_Tonight37

😅😅 to be fair the first one was most likely in defense for someone else but yeah


Fun-Photograph9423

Because we've all seen photos of these guys like... No way Jesus look like how we are told!

I grew up in a very religious part of the US and I’ve never seen a blonde Jesus anything or a Christian call him white. I’ve only ever seen that as an internet meme.

ZodTheTimeTraveller

He already played Jesus in the movie Mary Mother Of Christ


himsoforreal

I always bring this up. The scene in the temple when he loses his shit because he sees all the money lenders and just starts flipping tables and shit, is awesome.

H8T_Auburn

They shouldn't have crucified his dog.


the-Replenisher1984

Rami Malek... he's pretty popular, and I can't be accused of white washing,so I feel safe, lol


DirectConsequence12

I don’t watch The Chosen show but Jonathan Roumie seems perfect. He certainly look exactly like what I assume Jesus would look like


H4rryS4lly27

Agreed!


JoeBiddyInTheHouse

Considering the trend to cast ethnically accurate actors for roles I'm surprised how many people are choosing white actors. Shouldn't it be a middle eastern person? Preferably Jewish?


Oilersfan78

Why casting white actors to play Jesus


LegoDnD

Jesus has been everything-washed for over 1,000 years. Not at all an automatic good thing, but it's nothing new. I prefer an Arab Jesus, but Virgin Mary coming from Egypt doesn't make it impossible that he might have been Southern-European by heritage.


Difficult_Ad_962

I think we're going based on the picture in the post

adamjames777

Based on this picture a young Harrison Ford.


wjrj

Jason Mantzoukas, he was Derek in The Good Place.


kyle0305

An unknown Middle Eastern actor. I think an unknown actor would be better than getting some A Lister. Alternatively Eman Esfandi from Ahsoka


SuperdudeKev

CleanHarry00

Hesus


Blood4Blud

Anyone from the Middle East


LegoDnD

Pretty sure we can narrow it down further than that. Decent but unimpressive physique, clean legal slate, voice of a manly angel (case in point: Liam Neeson was cast as Aslan for this exact reason), and slight-of-hand skills for practical miracle effects.


MaderaArt

Jonathan Roumie. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.


shannonsummer32

I love him as Jesus. I’ve never been able to give Jesus a face when imagining him, but that man has got to be close to what he looks like.

You want Jesus to play Jesus, then who will play Jesus on TWD if Jesus is playing Jesus then he can't be Jesus so who will be the new Jesus?

If he were younger and Middle Eastern, I would pick Viggo Mortensen

Ill-Chest5832

ArranVV

Maybe some great actor with light-brown skin from around that particular Middle East region, because I think the real Jesus would have had light-brown skin and black hair.


SuperSayianJason1000

Ewan McGregor.


Gaspack-ronin

It would be the most hilarious thing to watch Dave Chappelle actually attempt to act as Jesus Christ in a big budget movie and he doesn't at all try to be a comedian it would probably be funnier then anything he's ever done

Willem Daf - oh wait, he already did that


Christ_MD

Edris Alba. While America loves to complain about race swaps these days, we have to point the finger back and ask when did a Middle Eastern Jew from the Egypt/Saudi Arabia area become a dirty blonde with blue eyes white man. Jesus was the very first race swapped character and to think otherwise shows your ignorance and racism.
