10 Most Bizarre People Who Claimed To Be Jesus Reincarnate

6. Inri Cristo

Another supposed reincarnation of Jesus Christ still around today; Brazilian Inri Cristo announced in 1969 that he was "luri de Nostradamus", or a holy figure. Claiming he always follows the "powerful voice" in his head, Cristo (original name lvaro Theiss) realised he was "Christ" as a 21-year-old and gathered a group of followers, who now assert that Brazil's capital city Brasilia is the New Jerusalem of the Apocalypse prophesised in the Book of Ezekiel. The voice also supposedly told Cristo "I am your Father" - very Stars Wars-esque - and he subsequently set off on a pilgrimage across 27 countries, before eventually being expelled from the US, Venezuela and the UK. The French, however, announced that "Christ is back on Earth". Arrested on more than 40 occasions for his outlandishly provocative statements and bizarre dress sense, Cristo is still alive and preaching in South America.
