Good God, when did Jesus become such a hottie? The trailer below for 'Son of God' stars Diogo Morgado playing Jesus. Morgado's smouldering good looks have also inspired the #HotJesus hashtag that is taking Twitter by storm. Trust us when we say his portrayal is enough to make you want to be a believer:



In an interview, Morgado suggested that, though his appearance shouldn't be the focus, it may make Jesus "more appealing" to a wide audience.
“It’s a compliment, obviously,” Mr. Morgado said, “but I don’t want that to take away from what we tried to achieve. The best story is the story that gets to the most people. If the message of Jesus was love, hope and compassion, and I can bring that to more people by being a more appealing Jesus, I am happy with that.”
