The Chosen 5: Jonathan Roumie Reveals His True Emotions on Portraying Jesus

Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen, recently opened up about what it’s like to portray such an iconic and revered figure. Speaking on the "Pints with Aquinas" podcast, Roumie shared how overwhelming the experience has been, especially given the show's incredible success and its profound impact on viewers. Roumie mentioned that the past few years have been so intense that he sometimes has trouble recalling all the events and interactions he's had. “I need to rely on people to remind me of the last several years because they’ve been so insane,” he said. He described the experience as overwhelming at times, meeting countless people and appearing at numerous events, to the point where he has had to compartmentalize many of those experiences just to cope. #thechosen #season5 #jonathanroumie
