I assume Jim Caviezel is uglier than Jesus.
Almost guarantee Jesus was "uglier" by most standards.
Serious question, wouldn't God's DNA be the purest and therefore Jesus would have been extremely handsome. Not trying to be sarcastic.
I believe the reference is that Jesus would have been a non-white, middle-eastern, Jewish man.
Isaiah 53:1 "He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
One could also infer that when presented to Pontius Pilate and pilate asks "are you king of the jews" it was probably a dig because he looked common, not regal or anything special. He probably wasnt physically attractive with a semi-gaunt face and amazing cheekbones.
