most hollywood portrayals of "jesus" look like he stepped off the cover of a romance best-seller. blow-dried auburn hair with blond highlights, immaculately manicured nails, a pure white robe, and of course, heavenly good looks.
you're right, jesus was jewish--not white anglo-saxon. and since this was before the days of extra-strength antiperspirant and stain-removing detergent, his grungy robe probably had huge sweat rings, and his curly black hair didn't exactly glisten from a recent hot oil treatment. and he did have big muscles--at least enough brawn to bounce the money changers out of the temple. and, according to isaiah's prophecies, he wouldn't have won any beauty contests.
