Jim Caviezel ‘s name may not be as familiar as other Hollywood actors, but he played a role that is familiar to most, that of Jesus of Nazareth in Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ. ‘ It premiered in 2004 and years later, in 2011, the interpreter pointed it out as his decline: “Interpreting Jesus ruined my career.”
The truth is that Caviezel has been in the news much more times for his statements than for his projects. Because of his political positions, he was “rejected by my own industry” and that Mel Gibson himself warned him: “He told me: ‘You will never work in this city again.’ I told him: ‘We all have to embrace our crosses , “recalled the actor.
Almost 20 years have passed since Caviezel’s great role in the cinema but he is still starring in films, the latest one, ‘Sound of Freedom’, which is having an unexpected reception in American movie theaters. The film has been linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Jim Caviezel’s new film, ‘Sound of Freedom’, is also full of controversy
In Spain we will have to wait until October 11 to see it on the big screen. The plot centers on the life of Tim Ballard, founder and CEO of the NGO Operation Underground Railroad who is credited with rescuing thousands of victims of human trafficking.
Many believe the tape speaks to a QAnon conspiracy that holds progressive elites to promote and participate in an international child sex trafficking ring. Jim Caviezel has spoken about this conspiracy at some point: “He has to be in there because he’s going to go after the traffickers ,” he said about Donald Trump’s return to the institutions. The actor revealed that he showed the film to the former US president at his private golf club a day before the premiere.
The actor’s career has had great successes such as ‘ The Thin Red Line’, ‘Frequency’ or ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ but ‘The Passion of the Christ’ marked his decline. He has also been affected by being openly anti-abortion, his controversial political positions and his religious beliefs. 10 years ago he turned his career around as a producer of documentaries and productions related to his political ideas.
