So nowadays you often see Jesus depicted like this. Not just looking the way, but also acting much like it. Because, even in eras when short haircuts, shaven faces, and fancy suits were the norm, the character was always portrayed "looking like a hippie."

clone of the historical Jesus from ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'', is not exactly a ''hippie'', but he is a bit of a slacker and appears to be a stoner. He's also [[BlackComedy a little clumsy with his nail gun]].

* And in Biblical Palestine, a short haircut and a clean-shaven look would have been associated with the Roman occupier, a thing which would not have won Jesus too many fans. The long hair and "hippie beard" would have been demanded of a religiously observing Jew, for one thing!

UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}' typical outfit (the long hair, beard, sandals one. Not the [[GainaxEnding sword in mouth, albino]] [[Literature/BookOfRevelation Revelations]] one that may or may not be him) and message (at least, parts of it - spread love and peace, leave behind your old life) nowadays makes one think of a hippie. Of course, the connection came the other way round - the hippies followed their model of Jesus.
