The Walking Dead [1] has brought us many surprises this season [2], but the best surprise yet has to be the introduction of Jesus, a fan favorite from the comic-book series. In the comics, Paul Monroe (aka Jesus) is a top recruiter for his colony, known as the Hilltop. On the show, Jesus is played by 33-year-old English actor Tom Payne.
While we wait with bated breath to see if the show follows the same storyline, we can't help but notice how H.O.T. Tom Payne is. Anyone with a pulse instantly fell in love with him as soon as he appeared on screen with that full beard and icy-cool blue eyes. Swoon. Here are 14 feelings we (and everyone else) had when we finally met bae Jesus.
