What a ridiculous idea. And he just keeps on getting that big, fat paycheck.
That’s the same forensic picture they have been using for years:

I don’t believe it.
Isn’t this years-old news? That picture’s been out there for a while.
Why would 3 random skulls give what Jesus looked like? Did all Jews look the same back then? Do we know that were even skulls of Jews? We know from history people from many nations traveled though the area.
In any event, three skulls of unknown provenance from an area that was a crossroads and melting pot for the entire eastern Mediterranean (see Acts 2:8-11) do not a valid sample make.
Yeah, no. Looks more of a John the Baptist type of guy.

Seems legit. After all, don’t all Jews look alike?
Yes, well, God in His infinite wisdom gave no indication whatever in His word of the physical appearance of His incarnate Son. And, you know, there might just be a lesson in that. So, let Europe go on depicting Jesus one way, Africa another, Asia another, and the Americas whichever way suits their heritage. That way everyone can be both right and wrong, and it in no way endangers the truth of the Holy Scriptures or sanctity of the Holy Christian Church.
Put more briefly: Who cares?
Imagine someone 2000 years ago reconstructing your face from the skulls of the people you see at the mall. How accurate would it be?
Let me try that again:

A dead-ringer for the guy that rang my doorbell and tried to sell a Kirby Ultimate G combination carpet and vacuum cleaner last week. I think he’s still in town. I declined the offer as I already own one and prefer to clean or vacuum the carpet with one hand while holding a cup of coffee in the other. Occasionally I wear a maid’s uniform to lend an air of authenticity to my efforts. The grand-kids get a kick out of my performances. The wife not so much. But I digress. Excuse me.
I always favored the depiction of Christ as it appears on the wall of the Haigha Sophia in Constantinople
This is not intended to be an impertinent or sacrilegious question. Assuming Jesus was the son of God, and conceived without earthly insemination, why would he necessarily be genetically similar or identical to the Jewish population of the area? In other words, he could have looked entirely different from the typical Nazarene.
How absurd! Without a painting, or at least some reasonable description of Jesus’ physical features, nobody knows. This is nonsense. For all anyone knows, Jesus looked like Jason Alexander.
This is the same kind of mental masturbation as “could G-d make a rock so big and heavy that He couldn’t lift it?”
Why the “deer in headlights” look?
And his nose got smashed when they turned the cross over to hammer the nails in place.
There is a 2+ hour programs that lends much, much, much more evidence (using the Shroud and years of painstaking research) that is face is much closer to the truth:
