The Mel Gibson and Jesus Christ meme originated from a behind-the-scenes photograph taken during the filming of the 2004 movie 'The Passion of the Christ'. The image features director Mel Gibson sitting in a chair, casually explaining something to actor Jim Caviezel, who is in full prosthetic makeup depicting a heavily bloodied Jesus Christ. The stark contrast between Gibson's everyday appearance and the graphic, suffering-laden look of Caviezel turned the photo into a viral hit. It is most commonly used as a reaction image to show someone complaining about trivial issues to someone who has experienced actual trauma or extreme exhaustion.
