Jesus H. Christ, also known as SoCal Christ, is an online actor and vlogger, primarily active on YouTube and Fiverr.
Early life[edit]
Jesus grew up in Bakersfield, California in a deeply religious Mormon family. He received his patriarchal blessing at the age of 15, which prophesied that he would help the church through the use of computers. He performed his mission in Argentina between the ages of 19 and 21. He then got married and started working as a wedding DJ and videographer.[1]
During the 2008 California Proposition 8 campaign, Jesus began questioning his faith.[1] In 2011, he discussed doubts with his older brother and separated from his wife after sharing his thoughts with her.[1]
Jesus moved to Long Beach and began exploring secular topics on YouTube, where he was inspired by Joe Rogan.[1]
Career[edit]
Jesus debuted on Fiverr in May 2015, where he performed impressions of his namesake religious figure while reading a custom script.
In January 2017, famous YouTuber PewDiePie hired him for a short performance, coinciding with his antisemitism controversy. Jesus was banned from Fiverr shortly afterwards, but successfully pleaded to get unbanned. The following years, he greatly benefited from the exposure which PewDiePie's videos had given him.[1]
Personal life[edit]
He owns a dog named Judas.[1]
