* Steve Burke of the {=YouTube=} tech review channel ''{=GamersNexus=}'' has had his appearance compared to Jesus Christ, to the point of "Tech Jesus" becoming a FanNickname for him.

* [[spoiler:Steve Davis]] from ''Film/PsychOut'' has long, tangled brown hair, a short beard, and a wild expression, and wears white robes.

* A Hindu restaurateur in flowing white robes visiting the precinct in one episode of ''Series/BarneyMiller''.
-->'''Bookie:''' ''[whispering to detective]'' I'll give you 75 to 1 it ain't!

* ''Manga/OnePunchMan'' has Homeless Emperor, a member of the Monster Associations who claim to be on a MissionFromGod to eradicate humanity because HumansAreBastards. Incidentally, he has shaggy long hair and full beard, which is fitting for his status as a DarkMessiah.

* ''{{LetsPlay/Cr1tikal}}'', of all people, has stereotypical Jesus look (the long hair and the beard) during the early half of 2020, especially while the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing (with non-essential businesses, including barber shops, have been closed down as a result). This, combined with his signature DeadpanSnarker monotone, gives the guy an AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance. He has had his hair cut around the latter half of May 2020, however.

* Creator/RikMayall, of all unlikely messiahs commented on his looking like Jesus in the commentary for the DVD collection of [[The Young Ones]].

* Dave Gahan from Music/DepecheMode during the ''Music/SongsOfFaithAndDevotion'' era in 1993-94. He did not look like that neither during the precedent Violator era in 1990 nor during the subsequent Ultra era in 1997. Lampshaded in the "Condemnation" video where he plays a thinly-veiled version of Jesus.

** The only thing close to an eyewitness description of Jesus's appearance anyone has been able to find thus far is that attributed to the Jewish historian Josephus, who described Jesus as not only short-haired but also four feet tall, with terrible posture, and a ''mono-brow''. Whether Josephus is an even remotely reliable source, though...

* Ironically, the real Jesus most likely would ''not'' qualify for the trope. Not only did he most likely have far more [[DivineRaceLift Semitic features]] than most art would have you believe, but long hair was not common for men at his time. He probably ''did'' have a beard, but both historical texts and artwork from the era confirms that men in that time and location wore their hair and beards cut ''short'', so as to protect against lice. The Bible does not give any details about Jesus's appearance, but the fact that the people sent to arrest him needed Judas to point him out suggests that Jesus looked just like a completely ordinary Jewish man. Meaning he certainly did not have long hair, which would be extremely atypical of the era.

* [[RealityWarper Patrick Danville]] in ''Literature/TheDarkTower'' looks like a slightly younger version of Jesus; one of the pictures in the hardcover edition of the book even has him drawn in the same pose as the famous "Sacred Heart of Jesus" portrait.

* Ian [=McCollum=] of WebVideo/ForgottenWeapons fame, to the point of having acquired the FanNickname "Gun Jesus".

* Music/GeorgeHarrison with the long beard and long hair

* David Gahan from Music/DepecheMode circa Music/SongsOfFaithAndDevotion era in 1993-95. He did not look like that neither during the precedent Violator era in 1990 nor during the subsequent Ultra era in 1997.
** Lampshaded in the Condemnation video where he plays a thinly-veiled version of Jesus.

* Zach Galifianakis lampshaded this in a visual stand-up routine where he showed funny text on an easel while an a capella group sang (ItMakesSenseInContext). Two of the pages were "I look like fat Jesus." "Not phat Jesus."
