Supposedly, except that upon closer examination, pretty much a whole bunch of white guys tend to look the same when they have long hair and a beard.

This famous painting is of painter Albrecht Durer, and he looks just as much as your typical cliche Jesus as any other guy, in fact he looks closer to the actor that played Jesus in the movie Jesus of Nazareth

Yet all of these guys with short hair and without a beard would never be mistaken to look like each other.
