Barefooted 'Jesus' Causes Stir in Kenya After He was Spotted Walking on the Streets (Photos)

'Jesus' spotted walking on the streets of Nairobi, Kenya 

There was commotion and drama in the streets of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya after a man who looked like the actor who played the role of the Biblical Jesus in movies was spotted walking through the central business district early on Tuesday evening.

The appearance of the Jesus look-alike brought activities to a halt in the area as people rushed to embrace and snap pictures with him.

The man was dressed in a long robe with his long-hair and thick-beards and walked barefooted through the streets.

Kenyans took advantage of the opportunity on Twitter by using the hashtag #JesusInNairobi to share their excitement.

"This bearded white man spotted walking in #Nairobi, some Kenyans say he's #Jesus who came to save #Kenya from z corruption. #JesusinNairobi." a Twitter user wrote.

  

It turned out, the alleged Jesus was an Italian tourist.
