DUSTIN HOFFMAN SPITTING IMAGE OF JESUS?

CLINTON, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- Although the movies make Jesus out to be a blonde-haired, blue-eyed hunk, he probably looked more like Dustin Hoffman. That's according to religious studies professor Steve Humphries-Brooks, who teaches a course called "The Celluloid Savior" at Hamilton College in New York. He says the real Jesus probably looked like a younger version of Hoffman, but with darker skin. Brooks says even the most accurate version of Jesus' life -- the mini-series, "Jesus Of Nazareth" -- got it wrong in the looks department by making Jesus look like a blonde-haired surfer. But that's not the most unholy act that Hollywood has done to Christ. Brooks says that honor goes to Cecil B. DeMille and his 1927 silent film "King Of Kings." The flick features a bizarre scene in which Mary Magdalene worries about whether Judas and Jesus are having a homosexual affair.
