who acted as Jesus Christ, said “I keep saying it and repeated it to the
world since 1977; I am not Jesus Christ, am simply an actor and British
comedian”. I am tired of seeing my photos in places of worship and houses. I
just made a movie to earn my life, so people should stop worshipping me,
instead they should worship the creator, God.
