In all the excitement over Jeffrey Dean Morgan's long-awaited debut as cheerfully sadistic cult leader Negan, it's been easy to overlook the other fan favorite from The Walking Dead comic books who was introduced last season. That's all going to change following last night's episode "Go- Getters," which saw Tom Payne's Jesus stepping up to the plate for the first time as a reluctant hero. When Maggie and Sasha arrive at the Hilltop seeking refuge, the community's cowardly leader Gregory wants to throw them out rather than risk punishment from the Saviors. Though Jesus was introduced last season as a mischievous, morally dubious thief who tried to give Rick and Daryl the run-around, he is a fundamentally good A Rabbi Talks with Jesus, and refuses to stand by and let Gregory expel Maggie and Sasha. After standing up to Gregory and shifting the power balance at Hilltop, Jesus makes a deal with Sasha to hunt down Negan—and in the episode's final moments, Jesus comes across Carl, who's on the same mission. During some rare downtime on the show's Atlanta set, Payne talks about Jesus's increasingly prominent arc throughout the season, bonding with the show's other British cast members, and adjusting to being called "Jesus" on the street:. Harper's Bazaar: How much did you know about Jesus when you were cast? Tom Payne: Nothing! A tiny bit. I was cast very quickly and came to set very quickly, and I was given fake sides and A Rabbi Talks with Jesus fake name during the audition process, so I had literally zero knowledge apart from the fact that I knew that I was auditioning for The Walking Deadfor a character that was going to be in a few episodes. I was like, "Oh, that's cool. I'll go to Atlanta and do a few episodes of The Walking Dead. That'll be fun. I booked it on a Friday and then after I booked it, my agent's like, "Oh, we think it's this guy. That guy's kind of in it a lot! I went by the script that I had and how he entered into the story, which was also kind of difficult because he's kind of hoodwinking the characters that he meets in that first episode. It's hard to get a grip on him initially. HB: In last night's episode "Go-Getters," Jesus is moving away from being this kind of lovable thief into more of a hero. TP: Yes, this season he meets new people from outside the Hilltop, people that can help his group move forward. Certainly with Sasha and Maggie, he sees people who are very capable and who he can work with to make everyone's life at the Hilltop better. Sometimes you meet someone who brings out another side of you that you didn't know existed, or has been lying dormant, and I think Jesus is discovering more of himself with the help of Maggie and Sasha. HB: There are a lot of flawed leaders in the picture this season—a villain like Negan on the one hand, and a coward like Gregory on the other. Jesus sees that—does he have any interest in being a A Rabbi Talks with Jesus himself? TP: No. Jesus is more of like a General, if I'm getting my army terms right. He's not the person who's in charge. He knows how to operate in order to make things happen in a way that is more palatable than, say, if Gregory told someone to do something. He definitely recognizes that Gregory is not the best leader—he's just someone who was there, it was working and it wasn't worth the trouble for Jesus to interfere. I think in this episode you really start to see what a weasel Gregory can be. He tries to give A Rabbi Talks with Jesus and Maggie straight over to the Saviors, and we know what the Saviors do to people. That's really a big moment, where he sees the length that Gregory is willing to go to protect his own skin. And I think he enjoys seeing Gregory's painting leave—that's quite a nice little victory A Rabbi Talks with Jesus Jesus! We've been with Rick's group in the show, but there are lots of other groups we're discovering this season and lots of other people who've taken to the world in a different way. Some people are at peace with certain things and other people aren't. HB: And at the end of the episode, he's thrown into this new situation with Carl…. TP: Yeah! I like that little look Carl gives him at the end, where he sees Jesus and he's like "Okay, interesting… What's this going to turn into? HB: Jesus seems like an essentially good person, and people generally don't stay that way in The Walking Dead. There's a kind of purity to him that can't last, right? TP: Yeah, what I enjoyed about the character coming in is that the world hasn't hardened him in the same A Rabbi Talks with Jesus that it's hardened everyone else. We've been with Rick's group in the show, but there are lots of other groups we're discovering this season and lots of other people who have taken to the world in a different way. That doesn't mean they haven't had as harsh an experience of this world, but they experience things in a different way. I think Jesus is settled with his attitude towards the world, but I think Maggie and Sasha are moving him further towards cooperating, and working closely with people rather than isolating himself as he has before. Maybe he hasn't been that close to people for a long time, and maybe now that he starts to get close to people again… well, we'll see how that might affect him in the future. HB: One of your very first scenes was an insanely iconic moment for the show, because Jesus walks in on Rick and right after they finally got together. What was that like to shoot? TP: It was funny—that was still my first episode, and that was my introduction to the whole show. I spent my time before with Norman [Reedus] and Andy [Lincoln], the two biggest guys on the show, and then this scene was Andy and Danai [Gurira], who's also hugely popular, and they're both naked in bed! Honestly, I was mostly worried about Danai poking me in the face with her sword because they're leaping out of A Rabbi Talks with Jesus and pointing their weapons at me. I was not looking anywhere other than where that sword was going at the A Rabbi Talks with Jesus The sword is huge and she's thrusting it towards my face, and the director tried to play with me and say, "Why don't you look down, and then look A Rabbi Talks with Jesus again with a little smile? Never in my life did I think I would be walking down the street and people would shout "Jesus! It's quite amusing. He's a bit older so he was there before me, but I met him when A Rabbi Talks with Jesus came back and I was about 14 or Then we did Wuthering Heights together, with me and him and Tom Hardy, and he played my uncle. It's is very easy to find now on the internet because Walking Dead fans have gone crazy about it! So yeah, when I first arrived on set we were talking about how strange it is to be from Bath and to know each other in this very different role, and then to come to Atlanta, Georgia with walkers everywhere covered in blood. HB: Have you adjusted yet to be called "Jesus"? That must be A Rabbi Talks with Jesus little surreal. TP: It's the funniest thing ever. People say, "Oh, are you tired of the Jesus jokes yet? I know that for some people I'll always be Jesus, and people are calling it out to me and stuff, and you just have to go with it. HB: You're still fairly early in your Walking Dead tenure, so how much of the intense fan culture around the show have you experienced? Were you at Comic-Con this year? TP: No, I wasn't, and actually I was kind of happy with that. The hysteria around the show is so crazy, and I'm enjoying the slow burn into it right now, because I know what it is for all the other guys who have been on the show for longer. Now that this Sunday's episode has happened, and once the rest of the season happens, I know that things will change a bit [for me]. So I was glad not to be plunged straight in, because I'm quite recognizable with the long hair and the beard! I took my girlfriend to the premiere of Season 6 last year at Madison Square Garden, and I honestly got a bit scared by the whole thing. It's so insane, and everyone's screaming, going crazy, and I know none of the cast could walk around in New York at all. It was scary, but I was at the point of no return, and it's that A Rabbi Talks with Jesus where you're getting everything you ever wanted, but there's also an adjustment period. It's all going to happen very soon and I'm prepared. I've had that time to prepare myself. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. Bazaar Bride. United States.

Tom Payne Talks About Playing Jesus in The Walking Dead - Tom Payne Interview

Jesus was the Messiah Christthe Son of God who was crucified for the sins of humanity before rising from the dead, according to Christian Gospels and early Christian writings. According to the Gospels, Jesus, who was born around 4 B. He supposedly also had the ability to walk on water, instantly create vast amounts of fish and bread, resurrect the dead, rise from the A Rabbi Talks with Jesus himself, calm storms and exorcise demons from people. The stories told about him have led many scholars to explore these questions: What was Jesus really like? Did he really exist? Today, many of the supernatural feats Jesus is reported to have performed are regarded by scientists as impossible to do — certainly by someone who lived 2, years ago. Trying to understand what Jesus was really like is complicated by the fact that the earliest surviving texts that discuss Jesus date to the second century A. Inthere were claims that a copy of the Gospel of Mark dating to the first century had been found, A Rabbi Talks with Jesus it now appears that this copy dates to the second or third century A. Despite many challenges, recent archaeological and historical research has allowed scholars to shed light on several aspects of Jesus' life, such as what he looked like and what life was like in his hometown of Nazareth. The year of Jesus' birth is debated by scholars, who generally place it sometime between 7 B. The tradition of Jesus being born on Dec. The Gospel of Matthew talks about how magi a word sometimes translated A Rabbi Talks with Jesus "wise men" came from the east, following the star of Bethlehem which some scientists have speculated A Rabbi Talks with Jesus be a comet or the planet Venus and gave baby Jesus presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The Gospel also claims that King Herod was enraged when he heard of Jesus' birth and ordered him to be found and executed, at one point ordering every boy in Bethlehem who was two years or younger to be killed. Jesus and his family escaped by fleeing to Egypt and not returning until after Herod's death, the Gospel says. Today, scholars are doubtful that Herod tried A Rabbi Talks with Jesus kill Jesus, noting that there is no evidence, outside of the Bible, that Herod was aware of Jesus. The Gospels tell of A Rabbi Talks with Jesus Jesus grew up in Nazareth with his mother, Mary, her husband, Joseph, and Jesus' brothers and sisters. Gospel stories tell how a man named John the Baptist foretold the coming of Jesus and baptized people who were seeking forgiveness for their sins. The Gospel of Mark claims that Jesus worked as a carpenter when he was old enough, and that there was something of a rift between Jesus and his family. This Gospel also claims that when Jesus returned to Nazareth after he was away, he was not well received. Recent archaeological work carried out at Nazareth has identified two houses that date to the first century A. One of these houses was later venerated as the house that Jesus grew up in. Archaeological remains suggest that people A Rabbi Talks with Jesus first century Nazareth were Jewish and less likely to embrace Greco-Roman culture than people who lived in the nearby town of Sepphoris. Scholars generally agree that Jesus didn't devote himself to his ministry until he was about 30 years old. This is based on the sequence of events told in the Bible which suggest that Jesus had not been ministering for long before he was crucified. The Gospel accounts suggest that Jesus spent much of his ministry in the area around Galilee. They tell how Jesus generally avoided luxury, was happy to talk with "tax collectors" and "sinners," favored the poor and frequently clashed with Jewish religious leaders, who doubted his claim that he was the Messiah. Large crowds sometimes followed him, hoping that he would cure sick people, the Gospels say. He sometimes clashed with his 12 disciples, scolding them when they showed a lack of faith or endurance. At one point he gave his disciples the ability to perform miracles in his name. When they were unable to exorcise an "impure spirit" from a boy, Jesus was furious. How long shall I put up with you? Jesus spoke about the end times, saying that the skies will be darkened and "nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines The Gospels claim that one of Jesus' disciples, Judas Iscariotbetrayed Jesus by making a deal with a group of Jewish religious leaders to help them arrest Jesus in exchange for money. The leaders then took Jesus before Pontius Pilatethe Roman prefect governor of Judea, where he was put on trial. The stories told in the Gospels claim that Pilate was reluctant to find Jesus guilty but was pushed toward the verdict by a mob who wanted Jesus to be crucified. The stories claim that after Jesus was crucified and placed in a tomb, he came back to life. It's uncertain exactly when Jesus was crucified. A Rabbi Talks with Jesus Pilate was governor of Judea between A. The stories told in the Gospels indicate that Jesus' trial and crucifixion took place around Passovera Jewish holiday that occurs in spring. Her research suggests that Jesus was likely around 5 feet 5 inches tall, had olive-brown skin with black hair, and likely kept his beard and hair short and well trimmed to keep out lice, which was a major problem at the time. Jesus' work as a carpenter and the fact that he traveled on foot, combined with the A Rabbi Talks with Jesus that Jesus likely wasn't able to eat regular meals, means that he was likely thin but somewhat muscular, wrote Taylor in her book "What A Rabbi Talks with Jesus Jesus Look Like?
