“The Chosen” actor Jonathan Roumie opened up about his Christian faith during the 2023 Advent season.
In a phone interview with Fox News Digital, Roumie, 49, who portrays Jesus Christ in the faith-based hit series, spoke about trusting in God amid his worries and anxieties.
“I think it all comes down to the simple act of surrender to God in a person’s life. And I went through this in a very visceral, substantial and transformative way in my life five years ago,” he shared.
Roumie continued, “I literally was on my knees and I said, ‘Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything.’ And He did.”
Following his prayer, Roumie, who is a Catholic, said he was called to do “The Chosen” three months later.
“It was a point that I think my life was building to when that happened — and I realized that trying to micromanage God was not something that was working in my favor,” he said.
