Who Played Jesus In The Bible

‘Bible,’ ‘Son of God’ star Diogo Morgado ‘freaked out’ about playing Jesus

Few, if any, acting jobs come with bigger audience expectations than Diogo Morgado’s role in the History Channel miniseries “The Bible,” which he played. As he stated on TODAY Tuesday morning, when he originally considered playing Jesus, he felt a pang of fear. “I had a nervous breakdown!” Morgado, who plays the role again in the film adaptation “Son of God,” confessed as much. “I was completely taken aback; I was in a state of fear because I realized I was responsible. I mean, I traveled to Jerusalem and, when I was there, I was struck with the significance of the tale on my own.

Currently, Morgado believes that “we have the technology to, you know, fulfill it in visual ways that people will genuinely be blown (away) by.” “Fifty years ago, we didn’t have the technology to visualise this beautiful miracle,” says the author of the book.

In Morgado’s opinion, “people have a tendency to latch onto the words (of the bible).” “Those were the precise words.

Everything revolved on love, compassion, and selflessness.

Few, if any, acting jobs come with bigger audience expectations than Diogo Morgado’s portrayal in the History Channel miniseries “The Bible,” which aired this past weekend. In an interview with TODAY Tuesday morning, he admitted that he was terrified when the idea of portraying Jesus initially crossed his mind. My stomach churned. ‘Son of God’ star Morgado, who plays the role again in the film adaptation, confessed as much. “As a result of my knowledge of my own guilt, I was in shock and terror.

So much life is in it.” The narrative has been told on both the big and small screens many times before, but according to the actress, it will come alive even more this time around.

As Morgado explained, “people have a tendency to latch onto the words (of the bible).” “These were the precise words that were spoken.

Love, compassion, and generosity were the themes of the day. As a result, I put my entire being into it.” When “Son of God” releases in cinemas around the country on Friday, we’ll be able to see how Morgado’s investment pays off.

She also works as a senior producer and reporter, with a particular emphasis on culture and gender parity.

Joaquin Phoenix plays Jesus in a new film. Here’s one thing he refused to do.

(CNN) When Joaquin Phoenix stepped into the character of Jesus in the new film “Mary Magdalene,” he accomplished a lot of things that were expected of him: Grown out his tresses, developed an intense and otherworldly gaze, and even meditated on a mountainside. But there was one thing he was not willing to do: lie. The screenplay for “Mary Magdalene,” which premiered in theaters throughout the United States on Friday, had a scene in which Jesus heals a blind lady by wiping dirt in her eyes, a nod to John’s Gospel that was included towards the beginning.

1. Who the f*!would do anything like that?
2. That is a terrible way to get people interested in viewing.” Some scholars believe that Jesus’ use of mud or clay to treat the blind was a typical technique among first-century healers, however the Bible doesn’t go into detail about why he did so.
3. “It liberated me in certain respects, allowing me to realize what is true in the present,” he explained.
4. It’s about someone who has been marginalized by society eventually being recognized, loved, and encouraged to become a contributing member of the larger community.

Something truly wonderful about that notion, to be honest with you.” That humanistic message captures the spirit of “Mary Magdalene,” a film that strives for historic integrity in certain areas while also including emotional and intellectual currents that are profoundly modern in their nature.

A spiritual but not religious film

They wanted to “save” Jesus by recounting his tale from a feminine (and feminist) point of view. Shown as a spiritual seeker and kindred soul to Jesus by a lithe and luminous Rooney Mara, Mary Magdalene is presented as a spiritual seeker and kindred soul to Jesus. The other apostles, notably Peter, are perplexed and irritated by their relationship, which he attempts to minimize. In this and other ways, “Mary Magdalene” appears to draw inspiration from both the #MeToo movement and the “Gospel of Mary,” an apocryphal book unearthed in 1896 that is said to have been written by Mary Magdalene.

1. Growing up in Australia, the filmmaker Garth Davis, who received critical praise for his debut feature picture “Lion,” described himself as feeling “disconnected” from the church.
2. “I didn’t want to offend anyone.” “I wanted to make a spiritual film,” says the director.
3. She explains to Peter that the future kingdom that Jesus preached is not something that can be seen with our physical sight.
4. “It’s not a location where you can go and stay for the rest of your life,” Mara said in an interview with CNN.
5. In the film, Peter informs Mary that she’s incorrect, accusing her of undermining their movement as well as Jesus’s own authority and authority.
6. “I am not going to be silent,” Mary declares.
7. However, its depiction of a woman who challenges the patriarchal framework of organized religion is deeply rooted in the present day and age.
8. The historical Mary Magdalene was buried behind erroneous connotations with other biblical figures and was referred to as a demon-possessed whore for hundreds of years.
9. Mary Magdalene was eventually recognized by the church, which designated her as theApostle of the Apostles since she was the first person to observe the resurrected Jesus.
10. “I had all these preconceived beliefs about Mary Magdalene and about religion in general, a lot of baggage that made me hesitant,” Mara explained.
11. According to the story of “Mary Magdalene,” their affinity is intensely emotional rather than physical.

“The knowledge that they both recognize themselves in one other is at the heart of the connection,” Mara explained. “Every single day, Mary has felt out of place. They truly understand each other in a manner that no one else can comprehend them. There is a strong bond of affection between them.”

What will Christians see in ‘Mary Magdalene’?

The filmmakers’ goal was to “rescue” the main character by depicting Jesus’ tale from a feminine (and feminist) point of view, which they achieved. It is shown that Mary Magdalene is a spiritual seeker and kindred soul to Jesus, who is played by Rooney Mara, who is both svelte and brilliant. Peter, who is attempting to push Mary to the sidelines, is perplexed and annoyed by their friendship. It appears that “Mary Magdalene” draws influence from both the #MeToo movement and the “Gospel of Mary,” an apocryphal book found in 1896 that appears to be based on the life of Mary Magdalene.

1. Growing up in Australia, the filmmaker Garth Davis, who received critical praise for his debut feature picture “Lion,” described himself as “disconnected” from the church.
2. During an interview with CNN, Davis stated that he did not wish to produce a religious picture.
3. The apostles’ message has been tainted, Mary asserts in a critical moment, by the apostles’ personal interpretation of the gospel.
4. It is the contentment of a spirit that has rejected wrath and anger, and it expands with each act of love and care that is given to another.
5. At one point in the film, Peter informs Mary that she’s incorrect, accusing her of undermining their cause as well as the Lord himself.
6. In response, Mary declares, “I shall not be silent.” “I’m going to make my point.” Researchers are divided on whether or not the film “Mary Magdalene” appropriately depicts its title figure.
7. Female members of conservative Christian communities have been fighting back against rules and regulations that have frequently marginalized and silenced them even before the #MeToo movement gained momentum.
8. That she was the “sinful woman” who anointed Jesus’ feet in Scripture wasn’t officially dropped by the Catholic Church until 1969.
9. Although Mara was reared as a Catholic and educated in Catholic institutions, Mara admitted that she was first hesitant to accept the title role.
10. “I had a lot of baggage regarding Mary Magdalene and religion in general, which made me hesitant,” she explained.
11. According to “Mary Magdalene,” their bond is deeply emotional rather than sexual.

This knowledge that they both see themselves in one other is at the heart of the connection, according to Maria. “Every single day, Mary has felt out of place. They truly understand each other, and no one else can comprehend them. There is a strong bond of affection between the two of you.”

What was he up to up there in the first place? A chuckle could be heard from the audience as the actor said, “a bunch of silly sh** that I’m not going to tell you.” “A contemplative state in which there is nothing to do and you just sit and observe the world around you Your thoughts come to a halt. That is the most important thing to remember.”

12 Of Our Favorite Actors Who Portrayed Jesus

Soon after Jesus’ death and resurrection, tales about him began to circulate – so many, in fact, that the apostle John wrote, “If every one of them were to be recorded, I believe that the world itself would not be able to hold all of the volumes that would be written” (John 21:25). And it went on from there, moving into fiction from the gnostic gospels in the early years through Dante’s epic poetry in the Renaissance all the way up to Ben Hur in the late 1800s and Anne Rice’s writing in the modern day.

These 12 actors have taken on the role of the Son of God, and they are fantastic!

Brian Deacon

In 1945, Bill Bright wished to sponsor a biblically accurate and entertaining film about the life of Jesus that would be released in theaters. He didn’t make it, instead establishing Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951, but by the mid-1970s, the time had arrived for him to try again. Over 1,200 languages have been translated and literally billions of times have been watched in response to Deacon’s performance in the theater.

Jeffrey Hunter

Released to mixed reviews in 1961, King of Kings was criticized for focusing on the events around Jesus without developing his own character as a result of this storyline. The film was also notable for being the first Hollywood production to feature a close-up of Jesus’ face. Increasing in both popularity and critical praise since its release in the 1960s, the picture has become increasingly well-known.

Henry Ian Cusick

John’s Gospel was narrated by Christopher Plummer, with Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus in a 2003 film directed by Christopher Plummer. The whole video is based on the Good News translation of the Bible (Today’s English Version), with no additions or deletions from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, or Luke, and no additions or deletions from the Good News translation of the Bible.

It is about three hours in length and is a fully authentic rendition of a single book from beginning to end.

Claude Heater

Ben-Hur, along with The Ten Commandments, is one of Charlton Heston’s biblical epics, and it is also one of his most remembered performances. In the film, the character of Jesus is played by American opera singer Claude Heater, who goes unnoticed and nearly totally invisible. You only see his hands assisting the Jewish slave Judah and his back on the journey to the crucifixion; you never see his face.

Christain Bale

Jesus’ mother remained by his side throughout his life, from his birth through his ministry and death. This 1999 made-for-TV film depicts Christ’s tale through the eyes of his mother, highlighting the personal interaction between the two and the important role Mary played in his life. Is this a portrayal of Jesus? Batman – played by Christian Bale – is the first superhero to offer deliverance from the forces of evil.

Jim Caviezel

Mel Gibson’s laborious “holy fiction” depicted Jesus’ last hours, from Gethsemane to the tomb, and was released in 2004. The Passion was shot with meticulous fidelity to the period, location, and traditions, including the use of authentic languages and the digital transformation of Jim Caviezel’s blue eyes into a more plausible semitic brown. Jim’s portrayal of Jesus is one of the greatest grossing films of all time, and it serves as a reminder of the suffering that Christ endured.

Diogo Morgado

Mel Gibson’s meticulous “holy fiction” depicted Jesus’ last hours, from Gethsemane to the tomb, and was released in 2004 to critical acclaim. In keeping with the period, location, and traditions, The Passion was shot with meticulous attention to detail, even down to employing real languages and digitally changing Jim Caviezel’s blue eyes to a more probable semitic brown. A tribute to the suffering that Christ endured, Jim’s portrayal of Jesus is one of the highest-grossing films of all-time.

Chris Sarandon

The Day Christ Died was a made-for-TV movie produced by CBS for the Easter season of 1980, based on Jim Bishop’s 1957 novel of the same name. The film was based on the book of the same name. Chris Sarandon is best remembered for his role as the villainous Prince Humperdinck in the 1987 classic family film The Princess Bride, but he also played Jesus during his final 24 hours on earth (at least prior to the Resurrection).

Max von Sydow

The sweeping epic of Jesus’ mission, crucifixion, and resurrection, directed by George Stevens, was a critical and commercial failure. The film, which is based on a novel by Fulton Oursler (the book itself, of course, being based on the Gospel stories), was already over $2 million in the red before a single scene had been filmed. Stevens’ large ensemble featured cameo appearances by well-known performers, but the role of Jesus was given to Max von Sydow, the dramatic hero of Ingmar Bergman’s film.

Ralph Fiennes (voice)

The stop-motion claymation is told from the point of view of Jairus’ daughter (from the gospels of Mark 5, Matthew 9, and Luke 8). Flashbacks and illustrations of Jesus’ teachings were shown in The Miracle Maker through the use of traditional, hand-drawn cartoons.

Ralph Fiennes, better known for his roles as Lord Voldemort in theHarry Potterseries and as the new M in the James Bond franchise, served as the voice of Jesus, recounting tales and performing miracles on the stage.

Jeremy Sisto

Featuring an all-star cast that included Jacqueline Bisset, Debra Messing, and Gary Oldman, this 1999 made-for-TV film brought a sense of humanity to the incarnation, with Jesus expressing sadness at Joseph’s funeral, throwing stones into the Sea of Galilee in good fun, dancing at the wedding at Cana, and other scenes. Episodes from each of the four gospels are interwoven throughout the tale. Jeremy Sisto, who has been on television shows such as Six Feet Under, Suburgatory, and Law & Order, as Jesus.

Robert Powell

The miniseries Jesus of Nazareth, a collaboration between the BBC and famed Italian filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli, launched as a miniseries under pressure from Bob Jones and his thousands of followers. Powell’s Jesus had a powerful performance against Zeffirelli’s signature landscapes, and the film attempted to fill out the characters by creating Judas, Matthew, Simon and Barabbas.

Where Are All The Actors Who Played Jesus Today?

Universal It is possible that we will gain a commission on purchases made through our links. According to Popular Mechanics, few of the actors who have played Jesus even come close to resembling the genuine guy, considering that he didn’t have Caucasian complexion, blue eyes, or an English accent in the first place. However, if you’re an actor, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more renowned part to include on your CV. Since the beginning of film, Jesus of Nazareth has been on the big screen, and he has been depicted by performers who have ranged from unknown to Academy Award-winning in their performances.

Claude Heater – Ben-Hur (1959)

Despite the fact that he is not the major character in the 1959 Charlton Heston epicBen-Hur, Jesus plays an important part in the events of the film. When he arrives, he is played by Claude Heater, a young vocalist who is a part of the cast. According to Heater’s official website, despite the fact that he was born and raised in Oakland, he had to go all the way to Rome before being spotted at a concert by Ben-production Hur’s manager. Following the completion of the filming, Heater returned to his singing career.

He hasn’t been in any films since then.

After doing what Heater’s website characterizes as a “careful investigation of the Book of Mormon,” he requested to be ejected from the Mormon church and went on to write the bookFatal Flaws of the Most Correct Book on Earth in 2008, which was written in response to the book.

Enrique Irazoqui – The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1964)

Even a newborn can play Jesus, and Enrique Irazoqui did it when he was just 19 years old, proving that you can portray Jesus at almost any age. It was Irazoqui’s Christ who featured in the 1964 Italian film The Gospel According to St. Matthew, a film that was a faithful adaptation, well, of the Gospel of Matthew. To begin with, Irazoqui was not interested in playing Jesus since he didn’t care about acting and because he was (and continues to be) an agnostic, but he eventually became fascinated.

Following the completion of the project, he returned to Spain, where he alleges the authorities confiscated his passport because he had “worked on a Marxist film,” according to an interview with Chess News magazine.

Since then, Irazoqui has lived in the Spanish town of Cadaques, where he has established himself as a professor of literature, an economist, a revolutionary, an expert on artificial intelligence, and a devoted player of chess, having once competed against Marcel Duchamp, the world’s greatest chess player.

Today, Irazoqui organizes and supervises computer chess competitions all around the world, including the United States.

Max Von Sydow – The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Afficionados of the film industry are familiar with Max Von Sydow, who has been dubbed “the greatest actor alive” by The Atlantic. Seriously, even if you don’t recognize his face, you’re familiar with it: he has the most recognizable jaw line in the history of cinema. Dietrich von Sydow is most known for his early appearances, in which he collaborated with filmmaker Ingmar Bergman on dark philosophical films such as The Seventh Seal, in which Von Sydow is shown playing chess against Death.

Von Sydow has continued to work as an actor since then.

He also contributed to the opening sequence of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, when he displayed some of his almost limitless gravitas.

Donald Sutherland – Johnny Got His Gun (1971)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images So, Johnny Got His Gun isn’t a Jesus movie, to put it mildly. According to Dalton Trumbo’s renowned anti-war novel, Johnny Got His Gun is the story of a young American soldier who is severely injured by an artillery shell and is left with little ability to communicate due to the loss of his limbs, face, and hearing. The novel and film are narrated from the soldier’s point of view, as his mind flits between imagination and reality throughout the course of the story.

Although it has been a long time since the release of the film in 1971, Sutherland is still well-known to modern audiences for his role as the ruthless President Snow in The Hunger Games.

These convictions were the driving force for his involvement in bothJohnny Got His GunandtheHunger Gamesfranchise, the latter of which was chosen for its themes of class inequity.

Victor Garber – Godspell (1973)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Those searching for one of the most outlandish portrayals of Jesus to ever touch the big screen can go no farther than the 1973 filmGodspell. An adaptation of the off-Broadway musical of the same name, this 1973 film follows a modern Christian messiah and his crazy band of hippie disciples as they frolic around New York City in the 1970s. The film was released in 1973. Christos (who wears a Superman T-shirt) was played by young actor Victor Garber in his first leading role in the film, which was released in 1989.

Fans of Alias will know him as Jack Bristow, and he also appeared inLegally Blonde as the sinister professor who terrorized Reese Witherspoon.

Because he’s been hanging around in the CW’s “Arrowverse,” where he portrays Dr. Martin Stein on shows like The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, it’s possible that the Superman T-shirt he wore during his Jesus days has gained him the affections of the DC Comics universe.

Ted Neeley – Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Ted Neeley is one of the few actors who might legitimately claim to be a “professional Jesus,” according to some. Neeley brought the singing, dancing messiah represented inJesus Christ Superstar to life both on stage and in film, and this Texas native — and lifelong believer — continues to enjoy it as much as he did when he first saw it in 1978. Following his performance as Jesus in the 1973 film, Neeley continued to portray the character in successive theatrical revivals.

• Weird.
• Instead of continuing to perform the role he enjoys, he goes on tour across the country, showing audiences clips from his favorite movie and leading them in sing-along portions of the film.
• “Certainly not,” he said emphatically.
• It never becomes stale.”

Robert Powell – Jesus of Nazareth (1977)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Many people recall the 1977 television miniseriesJesus of Nazareth with fondness. It is mostly due to Robert Powell’s remarkable portrayal as the son of God, which consistently ranks among the top ten Jesus actors on lists such as “Top 10 Jesus actors.” As reported by theEdinburgh Evening News, Powell has gone on to perform several additional parts, including that of Agatha Christie’s famed investigator Hercule Poirot in the playBlack Coffee, which was based on the novel of the same name.

Powell’s memories of Jesus of Nazareth, on the other hand, has adhered to his CV like glue, and he’s had a few opportunities to reconnect with his biblical performance.

More recently, he has been in the Smithsonian Channel documentary series Robert Powell on the Real Jesus of Nazareth, in which he goes to Israel and other locales in search of records, tales, and personal experiences that are connected to the real Jesus.

Kenneth Colley – Life of Brian (1979)

When Monty Python’s Life of Brian is performed, the core joke is that the main character is not Jesus, despite his being born on the first Christmas, living in the same location, and experiencing a similar destiny as Jesus. The actual Jesus does appear in Brian’s narrative on a few occasions, and when he does, he is represented by a lesser-known actor named Ken Colley, who is a Christian minister. Colley’s most well-known portrayal, though, isn’t as Jesus in the traditional sense. As Admiral Piett in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, he established himself as a major figure in the geek culture by cementing his spot in the hearts and minds of millions of fans worldwide.

In more recent years, he has mostly focused his acting abilities on television, appearing in shows such asHolby City and Peaky Blinders.

Chris Sarandon – The Day Christ Died (1980)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Chris Sarandon has managed to squeak his way into a number of different areas of the film industry. In Sidney Lumet’s 1975 filmDog Day Afternoon, he portrayed Leon, the transsexual wife of Al Pacino’s Sonny, and it was in this role that audiences first became acquainted with him. Sarandon made his film debut as a vampire in the 1985 cult classicFright Night, which he followed up with a role as Jesus in the 1980 television movieThe Day Christ Died. Two years later, he had a memorable appearance in The Princess Bride, as the arrogant adversary Prince Humperdinck.

Among her many guest appearances in shows ranging from Star Trek to ER, Sarandon landed the part of Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas, a spooky but happy cult favorite that airs twice a year, on Halloween and Christmas.

Willem Dafoe – The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images If you look back, it’s hard to imagine that when The Last Temptation of Christwas released in 1988, it was undoubtedly one of the most controversial films of all time, with the New York Times reporting that one Paris theater was set on fire only because it was screening the movie. So, what exactly was everyone so agitated about? It all came down to how the film depicted Jesus, who was played by Willem Dafoe, in a unique and perhaps unexpected manner. Christ played by Willem Dafoe was anguished, cynical, and resentful of his role in God’s plan for the world.

One thing is certain, though: Willem Dafoe’s career was in no way harmed as a result of the incident.

Younger audiences are arguably most familiar with him for his cackling (but unexpectedly sympathetic) portrayal of the Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movie, which he starred in.

Jeremy Sisto – Jesus (1999)

The Getty Images collection contains a variety of images that are available for licensing. If you look back, it’s hard to imagine that when The Last Temptation of Christwas released in 1988, it was undoubtedly one of the most controversial films of all time, with the New York Times reporting that one Paris theater was set on fire only because it was exhibiting the picture. In other words, what was it that had everyone so agitated? This came down to the way in which Jesus, as played by Willem Dafoe, was presented by the film in a unique and unexpected way.

These days, the dispute is hardly recognized by the public.

American Psycho, Mississippi Burning, and The Boondock Saints are among the films in which Dafoe has played pivotal parts that have made him a household name.

However, despite the fact that his Goblin days are over, Dafoe will be returning to the comic book world in late 2018 to play Vulko in Aquaman.

Christian Bale – Mary, Mother of Jesus (1999)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Yes, that really did take place. This isn’t a joke. Although you’d think that Batman portraying Jesus would’ve been the type of momentous event that would garner widespread attention, this was not the case. Back in 1999, when Christian Bale starred as Christ in the television movieMary, Mother of Jesus, most people still thought of him as the boy fromEmpire of the Sun, but that has since changed. In under a year’s time, Bale’s resume was transformed when he bulked up and scared viewers as the ax-wielding Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

It was in 2011 when Bale’s position in Hollywood history was permanently confirmed when he received an Academy Award for his role as fighter Dicky Eklund in the film The Fighter.

Henry Ian Cusick – The Visual Bible: The Gospel of John (2003)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images After a series of lesser film and television roles, Henry Ian Cusick was cast as Jesus in the 2003 film The Visual Bible: The Gospel of John, which was narrated by Christopher Plummer and starred Christopher Plummer as the narrator. It’s not difficult to understand why Cusick was picked in the role: He has the appearance of someone who is spiritually linked to higher worlds, as well as the sincerity to back it up. As a result, only a few years later, he was cast as Desmond Hume in the hit television seriesLost, a popular character whose psychic premonitions saved the day on several occasions.

He’s also been in Scandal and The Inhumans, among other shows.

God, in which he played the title character, a lawyer who attempts to sue God for damages.

On the other hand, it’s impossible to predict if his former role as Jesus would come up during the court hearings.

Jim Caviezel – The Passion of the Christ (2004)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images There have been many actors who have played Jesus, but Jim Caviezel is unquestionably the actor who is most closely connected with the character today, owing to his iconic portrayal in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. Which is only fair, considering that, according to Entertainment Weekly, he did manage to survive practically being struck by lightning when filming this sacred symbol. The character of John Reese in the artificial intelligence surveillance series Person of Interest is Caviezel’s first acting role since his Jesus role.

According to Deadline Hollywood, he will be seen in the 2018 film Paul, Apostle of Christ, where he will portray apostle Luke.

Caviezel has already declared that the picture would be “the most successful film in the history of the world.” Because of the cliffhanger conclusion from The Passion, you know Hollywood can’t help but make a sequel.

Diogo Morgado – The Bible (2013), Son of God (2014), Women of the Bible (2014)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Getting the chance to play Jesus Christ, even for a single performance, is a huge honor. However, Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado made Jesus a staple role in his career. His “trilogy” of Jesus performances began with the Emmy-nominated miniseries The Bible, which aired on the History Channel. Next that, he portrayed Christ in the filmSon of Godthe following year, and he completed his acting career with an appearance in the television seriesWomen of the Bible.

According to an interview withGlamour, he joined the TV seriesThe Messengers in 2015 to portray the devil, who is referred to as “The Man” on the program.

He has also made guest appearances on television shows such as CSI: Cyber and Ouro Verde.

Ewan McGregor – Last Days in the Desert (2015)

Photographs courtesy of Getty Images Everyone has surely seen the internet hoax in which an image of Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi is displayed with a message that reads something like “I bet you’re too terrified to upvote Jesus,” among other things. With the release of the film Last Days in the Desert, this meme became a reality when Mr. Obi-Wan himself stepped out into some Tatooine-like dunes for the first time. As you might expect, the film presents the well-known account of Christ’s 40 days in the desert, with the interesting twist that Ewan McGregor appears as both Jesus and the devil at the same time.

He was already a great celebrity, and he’d kept himself busy with a number of important parts in the film industry.

He also portrays Christopher Robin — yes, the stuffed animal’s best friend — in a 2018 film depicting a grown-up version of the character reconnecting with his old animal buddies in the Hundred Acre Wood, which was released in 2018.

The internet joke in which a photo of Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi is displayed with a comment that reads something like “I bet you’re too terrified to upvote Jesus” is undoubtedly familiar to everyone. When Mr. Obi-Wan himself stepped out into some extremely Tatooine-esque dunes filming the filmLast Days in the Desert in 2015, this meme became a reality for the first time. In the movie, Christ’s 40 days in the desert are depicted in the traditional manner, with the interesting twist that Ewan McGregor portrays both Jesus and the devil.
