Christoph Waltz shows he's game for a laugh when he plays Jesus in Django Unchained spoof, Djesus Uncrossed.

by Genna Patterson

Oscar winner Christoph Waltz showed his comic side when he dressed up as Jesus, resurrected in a spoof mash-up of Quentin Tarantino movies, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. The parody trailer, DJesus Uncrossed, was part of the Saturday Night Live comedy sketch show this weekend and Waltz, as the host, took part in a number of sketches.

In the sketch, 'Brad Pitt' hunts down Romans not Nazis with his elite killing squad, and 'Ving Rhames' plays Pontius Pilate, the leader who sentenced Jesus to death.

The German actor Waltz dons a fake beard, a white robe and a cross as he fights the Romans. We're sure some people out there will find it offensive and blasphemous, but what quality comedy doesn't offend?

Fair play to Christoph Waltz for being a good sport.
