Jonathan & Jesus

This is an excellent piece of work! I applaud Jonathan for his willingness to allow such vulnerable parts of himself to be shown. He is a kind and beautiful soul whose love for God shines through. The Chosen shows us Jonathan, the actor. This docuseries shows us Jonathan, the man. This has been long awaited by his fans, and it did not disappoint. It brought laughter and tears. It's a refreshing change from so much of the anti Christian content that is so prevalent these days. Jonathan Roumie does not shy away from exposing his devotion to God, and he encouraged the same boldness in others. Well done!

Fantastic docuseries about the blessings and pressures of playing Jesus. This series documents the journey of actor Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus, the most famous man to walk this planet in the series The Chosen.

From his humble surrender to God asking for guidance, his acceptance of the role in The Chosen, to his visit with Pope Francis, the series shows a side of fame that few actors have achieved. How do you maintain your identity when many people actually think you ARE Jesus Christ?

Roumie's care and concern for playing this important role weighs heavily on him, and the series does a great job of illustrating just what it's like for a man go from struggling actor to being mistaken for the actual Son of God. A devout Catholic, Roumie exhibits his devotion and passion for his faith while also learning and praying for people of all denominations.

Filled with interviews from historians, religious experts and even Alice Cooper, the series is both entertaining and moving as it follows Roumie from place to place all around the world as he promotes The Chosen.

You don't have to be a fan of The Chosen to thoroughly enjoy the journey of a "regular guy" learn and grow as he is recognized more and more, not as himself, but as Jesus Christ.

I am not one for tv but I do watch The Chosen so was interested in seeing what this was about. It is must see for anyone who is familiar with The Chosen or even anyone who is interested in Christianity. It shows how Christ reaches so many people but also doesn't shy away from the issues Christians can have. Moreover, it really shows the heaviness an actor takes when playing a very important (the most important) role of his life as well as how fame can drain a person. Well worth the watch - I binged it over two days and I don't binge anything. I strongly recommend anyone interested in Christ, The Chosen, and/or acting too watch.

I have followed the rising career of Jonathan Roumie since 2019 when I first watched The Chosen. At the beginning of 2020 he began an online prayer group and I don't think I missed a single session, even though the practices of our Christian faith were different. That's one of the things Jonathan taught me. That opening my mind also opened my heart. This docudrama shows how hard he has worked and how the unexpected fame has affected him. I already knew he was walking a rocky path but I really had no idea how hard the struggles were. And in case you think the persona is all acting, you're wrong. I met him once in person and what you see in this documentary is exactly what you get. Jonathan Roumie is more than an accomplished actor - he's an extraordinary human being.

Ok, I do love a good nature show. But most documentaries about humans that are currently living are dry, uninteresting shows that I would never watch. But being a huge fan of The Chosen and Jesus Revolution, I decided to try this documentary. Boy, was I surprised! Not only interesting, but so fascinating to see the different experts weigh in on what it would be like to portray Jesus, and just what that might look like, as well as who Jesus is to modern day society. Whether you are religious or not, the historical person of Jesus has had an impact on YOU, and knowing how that happened, or why, is something I would highly recommend finding out about through this show. And of course, if you The Chosen or Jesus Revolution, this is a perfect complimentary show - just like the study books or Behind The Scenes.
