This trope refers to a character whose hairstyle and facial hair make him resemble conventional depictions of Jesus of Nazareth: i.e., a male with long hair worn loose and a simple full beard. His hair can be straight, wavy, or curly, but braids, dreadlocks and such are right out. It might overlap with Wild Hair but can be neater. There's some latitude in the length of the beard, but anything that covers the collarbone is probably too long to qualify, and braids or other affectations are right out. Bonus points if he winds up in sandals and/or a robe at any point. See also What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?. Compare Hippie Jesus, if he not only looks the part, but also acts like it. |

Scion of Worm looks like Jesus, aside from the fact that his skin and hair are gold rather than Caucasian and brown. He deliberately chose this appearance to play on human religious tendencies and went with gold to avoid difficulties with racial divides. | |

Paul Monroe in The Walking Dead looks so much like Jesus that this is his actual nickname. People refer to him by the name Jesus more often then his real name. He also resembles Jesus in other aspects. Despite being a highly skilled warrior, he generally tends to avoid violence against other humans except when absolutely necessary. He also routinely ends up on good terms with people after their initial confrontation starts with violence. | |

Toki in Fist of the North Star is a martial arts practitioner with a near-messianic demeanor and Healing Hands, who looks near-identical to Jesus barring his white hair. Which is strange, since according to his character bios he's apparently ethnically Chinese. This may or may not be a nod to the Chinese historical figure Hong Xiuquan, leader of the infamously bloody Taiping Rebellion, who claimed to be Jesus Christ's younger brother. | |

In Persona 3, Takaya is a tall, emaciated man with long straight hair, a scruffy beard, intense eyes, and a headband that brings to mind the Crown of Thorns, resembling the Jesus depicted on typical crucifixes. (He also has a great deal of vaguely religious-seeming tattoos.) However, he's a Straw Nihilist explicitly against saving people. This makes him the foil to the protagonist, who not only has "Messiah" as his ultimate Persona ability but performs a Heroic Sacrifice to save the world despite its sins. | |

Cr1TiKaL, of all people, has stereotypical Jesus look (the long hair and the beard) during the early half of 2020, especially while the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing (with non-essential businesses, including barber shops, have been closed down as a result). This, combined with his signature Deadpan Snarker monotone, gives the guy an Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance. He has had his hair cut around the latter half of May 2020, however. | |

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons fame normally wears his hair long in a ponytail to keep hair out of the guns he examines, but often lets it down in the field. Combined with his rough yet dignified Imperial/Van Dyke facial hair and a generally pleasant and inoffensively educational demeanor, Ian was quickly christened Gun Jesus by fans. This got to the point that even gun manufacturer Heckler and Koch got in on the joke. This isn't a new development at all; one of Forgotten Weapons' most popular videos is Ian on the gun range at Halloween, dressed in the stereotypical garb of the Lord.Extra joke Ian is also firing the Chiappa "Holy Trinity" triple-barreled shotgun just to stick to the theme. | |

Jebus from Madness Combat looks much like the saviour, down to having a golden halo. In the earlier episodes, this is because he was a straight parody of Jesus, but later episodes would give him a bit more of an individual character, greatly expanded on in the series' official video game Project Nexus, rebranding him as a scientist named Dr. Jebediah Christoff working for the Nexus Core who betrayed and killed the project's director. With all of these developments, his roots as a parody of Jesus remain deep seated. | |

In Perelandra, when the King of Venus (essentially, the Adam of the nascent Human Alien civilization of Venus) is finally revealed, Ransom immediately recognizes his features. Although it is not stated in plain text, the Queen/Eve of Venus reveals that ever since Maleldil materialized Himself as a human on Earth, the human form became the default for all new sentient species, ergo it is only logical that the default human male form always Looks Like Jesus, too. Subverted in the sequel That Hideous Strength. Either the narration or (via telepathically talking to the POV-character) God Himself gets the snark on at the classical depictions; in either case strongly implying that He does/did not look like them in His human form in-universe: |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Halbrand has unkept, shaggy shoulder-length hair and sports a Perma-Stubble. He physically resembles Aragorn from the movie trilogy. He is also the human form of Sauron, making him an Evil Counterpart to Aragorn. Elendil himself looks like the typical Catholic interpretation of Jesus, being a man with shoulder-length dirty blond hair and the kindest deep blue eyes, with a bit of a beard. |

Subverted in a Saturday Night Live sketch. A cop tries to get the Two A-Holes to describe a criminal they saw. The female a-hole says that he looked like Jesus. The cop replies "so, you're saying he had long hair and a beard?", to which the female a-hole shakes her head: | |

Game of Thrones: In Season 5, the Faceless Man assassin, Jaqen H'ghar shows up in Braavos, and has ditched his earlier Lovable Rogue persona for that of the High Priest of a friendly death cult. While Jaqen previously wore rags and (later) armor, he now wears a monastic robe, which gives the Jesus effect◊. The Stark men have a tendency to have their dark hair long and an affinity in sporting a beard. This progressively applies especially to Jon Snow, as his Manly Facial Hair becomes fuller as seasons go by. Both their deaths even involves a cross, though Jon wasn't crucified. His resurrection sequence is modeled on Renaissance paintings of Jesus. Jory Cassel sports dark long hair and a rough beard. This happens to Daario Naharis once Michiel Huisman takes over the role starting Season 4. |

In Spartacus, the title character finishes the first episode dressed in a loincloth with long hair, a bloody brow, and a wound in his side. Given that he's a famed savior who is popularly (if probably incorrectly) believed to have died on the cross, the symbolism was almost certainly intentional. The latter cast addition Gannicus also invokes this look, which is further reinforced in the Grand Finale when he dies via crucifixion. |

A bookie present whispers "I'll give you seventy-five to one it ain't!" to Fish. The elderly Fish, meanwhile, is a little worried when the man says he was "sent" to the squadroom. | |
