Jack Black & Jesus
Dec 18, 2003 Uncategorized
According to BeliefNet.com:
Jack Black tells interviewer Daniel Harder (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) that he likes Jesus. “He had superpowers and that’s the main reason I like Him,” says Black, if for theologically questionable reasons: “Anyone who can float, has power of levitation, or can shoot lasers out of his eyes…” continues Black. Lasers? “Well, how do you think he turned water into wine? With His eye-lasers.”
Black, who once played a character named Jeepers Creepers Semi-Star in a “Mr. Show” spoof, seems to regard Jesus as a kind of existential barometer, now that he’s 33. “It’s the landmark year,” he said. “I’m a Jew. Thirty-three is when Christ died. So though I’m a Jew, in the back of my mind I still think I gotta get it done before I’m thirty-four.”
