There's a bunch of controversy surrounding the History Channel's series
The Bible. After the episode that aired on Sunday night, the internet blew up with people claiming that the actor that played Satan, Mehdi Ouazanni from Morocco, had a very strong resemblance to our own President Obama. Watch the video below for the side-by-side comparison.
It would appear that they do look pretty similar, yet the History Channel is denying the resemblance. Producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett released a statement saying the following:
"This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan,
Mehdi Ouazanni, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics — including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our president."
Yeah, no one is doubting he's a good actor. But he looks like the President. Just acknowledge it and say "Yeah, wow. He sure does. No harm meant by it!"
