Not at all. Latin men are hawt.

I’m a straight guy, so what do I know, but he looks a bit dopey to me.

What’s funny is that no one knows what Jesus looked like. What you find attractive is just the evolution of various artistic impressions.

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

@FutureMemory So he isn’t hairy? I love facial hair on men…

@QueenOfNowhere: ‘Beautiful’

Why does that middle eastern guy look so European?

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

@tom_g I do hope Jesus doesn’t look like “dopey”... Come on, he is the son of God.

It’s not bad, a lot of women like the hippie look.

Same as above.
Nobody really knows what he looked like.
So I suppose you could imagine that he looked like George Clooney [or me for that matter ;)] and think he was pretty hot stuff.
And whatever he looked like, he certainly turned out to be influential.

@josie . . . i think you’re on to something with clooney. maybe we can hit hollywood and pitch the last temptation of christ ii: evangelical boogaloo ?

ooh! ooh! or christ’s twelve? we can run the sequels backward and do christ’s 11 about them taking out that traitor judas (i’m thinkin’ harvey keitel?)

Eh, we don’t know what Jesus looked like, and you are about 2011 years too late for that. I think it might be your ego. Something tells me Jesus wouldn’t.

Assuming that he actually fulfilled prophesy, he wouldn’t have been particularly attractive:

“For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.” (Isaiah 55:2)

Don’t worry about it!
It’s only the same as me wanting to bone Jessica Rabbit!

Maybe I should grow my hair out again.

You do realize that the “Christian” depiction of Jesus is totally wrong don’t you? Jesus was of middle eastern decent. He was not light skinned. Nor European looking.

_zen_'s avatar

He probably looked more like “Sayid” from Lost.

cazzie's avatar

Jesus was an Indian? (Naveen Andrews is of Indian decent.) I thought he was a Galilean Jew.

If you were the son of God, wouldn’t you ask your father to give you some good looks to get lucky with the seƱoritas?

YoBob's avatar

How do you know you would find Jesus physically attractive?

It’s a pretty darned good bet he does not look like the traditional long haired, bearded Anglo depicted in popular art and icons. He was of middle eastern descent.

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

I’m middle eastern! Wow I never felt so close to Jesus before <3

Blackberry's avatar

@QueenOfNowhere You felt less close to him before you found this out?

Jellie's avatar

Depends… what have you imagined him to look like :P

Aethelflaed's avatar

I believe “they’re” saying that Jesus would have looked like this. But the “traditional” look of a European Jesus is probably meant to look hot, because people are more likely to worship a guy whom they find to be physically inspiring as well as divinely inspiring.

@zen Sayid was hot.

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

Hmm… I just felt close to him because I thought he was sexy and wild looking. But now you guys ruined my fantasy Jesus :(

Aethelflaed's avatar

@QueenOfNowhere It’s a fantasy. You can recapture it.

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

@Aethelflaed I just wish he was reborn. I like facts

Aethelflaed's avatar

@QueenOfNowhere Well, with Jesus, it seems very likely that he will be reborn. It’s kinda his “thing”...

ucme's avatar

Maybe that’s why so many women yell out his name on the cusp of orgasm.
“Oh yeah, oh jesus fucking christ yes…yes!!”
Ever so slightly disturbing that the wife imagines being humped by the nazarine, but what can you do?

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

@Aethelflaed Yeah right, especially 21th century
@ucme I will put a jesus mask on my boyfriends face during sex

ucme's avatar

@QueenOfNowhere While he enters the “holy place” no doubt, sounds appropriate.

QueenOfNowhere's avatar

@ucme And then I’ll be named Virgin Mary!

ucme's avatar

A slight anomaly?

Joker94's avatar

Didn’t the Bible mention him as being a relatively attractive guy? I find a vague resemblance between him and a young Cat Stevens..
