The "Jesus" Actor Just Happened to Call-in to LIMBOsevic [View All]

[UTUSN]

This is getting out of hand. There's Mel everywhere, with his associate O'REILLY, claiming that Mel is being martyred, so (as another thread sez) the dude's now "Saint Mel".

Last night on LENO, GIBSON claimed this James CAWIESEL actor dude was just the only one to play Jesus, that he had both an "innocence" plus the masculinity that a carpenter like Jesus must have had, that GIBSON saw this in him in The Thin Red Line.

Today, the actor called in to LIMBOsevic, talking in a "holy" voice, monotone, insistent...just... "holy". Since LIMBO claims he never does interviews, I was wondering whether this actor dude was going to make some kind of wingnut declaration. Well, they stuck to a celebrity interview format, but why did this dude just happen to call-in?

So, get ready for the holiness: The dude said that it was a part he couldn't turn down when GIBSON approached him, who was 33 years old and has the initials "J.C.," that he underwent this incredibile, horrendous, and intense suffering (dislocated shoulder, struck by lightning, hypothermia in a loin cloth, 30 knot winds on the cross) but had to do it. He just stopped short of saying he did it FOR US.

Somebody a few days ago was aggressively posting that GIBSON has a right to make JUST A MOVIE. I don't dispute this at all. But these dudes, GIBSON and the WIESAL actor dude, are going around claiming to be holy. I agree with the poster who had a thread saying this is a PROPAGANDA movie. And it's not the blasphemy of these dudes that is offensive so much as the arrogance, the overweening pride.
