Satan-Obama likeness claims ‘nonsense’

Irish actress and producer Roma Downey has described as “utter nonsense” chatter sweeping the internet claiming the satan character in her mini-series, The Bible, bears a remarkable resemblance to US President Barack Obama.

Derry native Downey and husband, Mark Burnett, produced the 10 hour mini-series for the History Channel — and it’s been a huge hit in the United States. She also stars in the production.

But the appearance of Satan, played by Moroccan actor Mehdi Ouazanni, on Sunday night left many viewers stunned by the resemblance with the President.
