So is Mel Gibson's latest film about the Beach Boys?
Because I just saw an ad for it, and Jesus appears to have been a dead ringer for Dennis Wilson. He looks a hell of a lot more like a hippy surfer from Hawthorne, CA, than a carpenter from the middle east of 2000 years ago.

Don't scientists think Jesus looked something like this?



Then why do they keep getting Wonder-bread haoles to play him? Jim Caviezel may be a good actor, but he looks about as much like Jesus as one of the Osmond brothers, even with make-up. He looks as unbelievable as that blue-eyed, honey-blonde goof that plays Jesus on the TBN commercials.

I'm sorry, but this kind of thing burns me up. I was expecting so much more.

1. I think the actor portraying Jesus looks fine.
No complaints from me.

I haven't really seen an official "how did Jesus look"

2. You have to consider that he was semitic

he'd look more like the average Jordanian or Palestinian than what we usually get portrayed as Christ.
Hell, most of the actors have been blue-eyed for cripes sake.

4. Well Jesus is portrayed in a lot of different ways.
I've seen black Jesus, asian Jesus, arabic Jesus.. etc

Wherever you go he looks like the culture there.

3. Mike Love IS Judas Iscariot!
"With beloved Beach Boys songs reworked for this film!

'Do you love me, do you, leper girl, leper girl...'

'If everybody had a savior across the land I see, then everybody'd be saved, down here in Galilee...'

'In My tomb, in My tomb..."

12. Moses could sing Surf's Up at the Parting of the Red Sea.
That's the best I could do. I realise Moses was several hundred years before Christ, but seriously, best I could do.
Shoulda stuck with Heroes and Villains or Til I Die.
