Judas actor hanged in The Passion of Christ play
JUDAS has hanged himself during a Bible scene. Judas was being played by Tiago Klimeck a a production of the The Passion of Christ in the city of Itarare, Brazil.
It is thought that Klimeck reached for the wrong rope, a confusion that meant his colleagues thought he was only pretending to die. After a few minutes, the crew spotted that Klimeck realoly was unconscious and cut him down.
Klimeck remains in serious condition. Update: He has died.
Meanwhile, over in Hollywood, Mel Gibson should realise that his blood and sandals romp The Passion of The Christ was a bit tame. What with Klimeck’s method acting and the Philippines Players’ genuine crucifixion scenes (see below), Gibson’s Jesus lacks authenticity. We urge him to create a sequel, The Passion of the Christ – More Passion, in which Mel really is persecuted by the police, forced to live among a dozen single men – all of whom are Jewish – and, in a modern twist, is gang raped by a “pack of niggers”…
