Singer Gwen Stefani’s praise for a recent interview by The Chosen actor Jonathan Roumie has not settled well with some of her more liberal fans, specifically how he conducted the interview with Tucker Carlson.

Roumie, who plays Jesus Christ in the increasingly popular series, appeared as a guest on Carlson’s show on March 5 to kick off the season of Lent. During their discussion, the two discussed Roumie’s feelings on playing Jesus, the Catholic actor’s views on Lent, along with how The Chosen has “exploded” in popularity among viewers, with their hour-and-a-half discussion drawing Stefani’s attention and praise.
