Oh, I loved that movie, for all its goryness...he was seriously the best Jesus EVER.
An When I think of Jesus now I think of how Jim portrayed Him...b/c it was just so AMAZING...*dies from amazingness overload* lol
And the Aramaic...I dunno how he was able to learn it so well. He sounded like he spoke the language completely naturally in that film. Plus...he had to put up with a lot during filming...he actually got struck by lightning like, 3 times or something while hanging up on that cross
Miraculously it didn't hurt/kill him, though. And he also got hypothermia too...
Learning an almost-dead language, getting struck by lightning, getting hypothermia, and hours of crazy make-up all to play the Son of God Himself...I dunno what other actor has had to go through all of that.
Plus, he's such a humble guy and completely true to his faith and not just another Hollywood show-off...this is actually an interview he had about the film, and he gets into some pretty deep stuff...he totally stunned the guy interviewing him
