'Chosen' Jesus actor Jonathan Roumie meets Pope Leo XIV in biblical crossover
In a meeting of biblical proportions, the pope and Jesus took a selfie – well, sort of. Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus Christ on "The Chosen," snapped a selfie with the newly elected pope recently, who shared it with fans on social media. Roumie, who has portrayed the holy figure on the Christian historical drama for five seasons, can be seen posing next to Pope Leo XIV, the first pontiff from America. The photo, shared to Instagram by the pope's official account, was part of a carousel of images showing the pontiff alongside worshipers in Vatican City. "Every time we perform an act of faith addressed to Jesus, we grow in our connection with Him, and His grace is bestowed immediately," the caption reads. "At times we are unaware of it, but in a secret and real way, His grace reaches us and gradually transforms our life from within." 'The Chosen: Last Supper': 'Iconic' scenes, Jonathan Roumie's 'extraordinary' whip skills Followers quickly recognized Roumie's face and began sharing GIFs of him as Jesus in "The Chosen" in the comment section. The show, which first premiered in 2017, dramatizes the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, retelling a well-worn ancient biblical tale with the help of modern Hollywood magic. Roumie, in Vatican City Monday, June 23, after wrapping filming for parts of the series' sixth season in Italy last week, told reporters the visit was a "humbling honor," according to the Catholic News Agency. When 'The Chosen' Jesus met giant serpent Satan: Jonathan Roumie dishes on 16-foot python co-star "The fact we're here now, sitting at the Vatican … is a testament to, I think, how God wants to continue to further this mission to bring more people to Jesus and to bring Jesus to them," he said of the show during a press conference. "When (Pope Leo XIV) was elected, I wept, because I never thought I'd see an American pope in my lifetime," he continued, "to communicate to him in our native language this week is just something I never thought I would see in my life." Pope Leo, who was elected in May to the surprise of close conclave watchers, is the first to hail from the United States in the history of the church. A Chicago native, he attended Villanova University, Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and the Pontifical College of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. How accurate is 'Conclave' the movie? Film vs. real process compared, plus how to watch This is not Roumie's first meeting with a pontiff – in 2021, the actor met Pope Francis at another general audience with crowds in the Italian city.

'The Chosen: Last Supper': Where to watch Season 5 on streaming
'The Chosen: Last Supper': Where to watch Season 5 on streaming Show Caption Hide Caption Meet the star who plays Jesus on 'The Chosen' The star who plays Jesus in the 'The Chosen' reveals why this adaption of Jesus' story is so impactful. The wait is over: "The Chosen: Last Supper," the fifth season of TV's biblical epic, arrives on Amazon Prime June 15. The eight-episode installment, which screened in theaters last March and April, resumes where Season 4 left off, capturing a crowd celebrating the arrival in Jerusalem of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie) at the start of the week (known as Palm Sunday) and ending before Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. 'Season 5 is our most intense yet,' says Dallas Jenkins, creator of the first multi-season historical drama about Jesus. 'There are a million people all in one city, the enemies, the followers, the friends, the believers, the antagonists. They're all together, and they're all plotting either for or against Jesus.' 'This is the season where some of the most iconic moments in history are taking place," Jenkins says. "You've got the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. You've got the turning over of the tables in the temple. You got the Last Supper. You got Judas' betrayal.' Yet even the small moments are impactful, Jenkins says, like when Jesus is by himself, shouldering the agony to come. 'What he's thinking about happening in the future, what he's thinking about happening in the past and what he knows is going to happen this week, it's got such dramatic weight to it that it feels big, even though it's just one person," Jenkins says. How to watch 'The Chosen: Last Supper' Season 5 of "The Chosen" streams on Amazon's Prime Video. The first two episodes arrive June 15, three more on June 22, followed by the final three episodes on June 29.

Watch the trailer featuring Jesus (Jonathan Roumie). The Season 5 trailer features somber Jesus amid the palm-waving jubilation over his arrival. Yet Jesus becomes angered by the desecration of the temple and begins tipping over the merchants' tables in the holy place while wielding a righteous whip. "You serpents!" Jesus yells. "How will you escape being condemned to hell?" Jesus remains calm at the Last Supper, but the tension persists. There are glimpses of the betrayal by Judas (Luke Dimyan), who asks Jesus amid the temple wreckage, "What have you done?" Season 6 covers a 24-hour period during which Jesus was nailed to the cross. The series is slated to end with Season 7, the resurrection.
