The standard depiction of Jesus as a long haired beardy starts several centuries years after his death (6th century according to wikipedia) .
 
I remember him from a few free festivals in London in the early 80s

He used to go to gigs as well as festivals, I saw him at loads in the late 70s/early 80s, always up near the front and dancing. I think the NME used to call him ‘Jesus of Shepherds Bush’.

Apparently he really did claim to be Jesus.
 
Jesus painting fact: For a good long while in Europe, baby Jesus had to be painted as a miniature adult... Supposedly this was because of the problem that arose from the profound philosophical debates at the time, which asked "did the son of god shit himself as a baby? Did he go through the terrible twos? Aged four did he find the word Bum hilarious?".

The issue was settled by saying he was always an adult, though child sized. The church lives in fear to this day that anyone will bring the question up again.
