Whoever said spiritual couldn’t be sensual? Well, it certainly wasn’t Chrissy Teigen.

The Queen of Twitter told late-night host Jimmy Fallon all about her newfound attraction to the messiah when she appeared on the “Tonight Show” on Tuesday.

Of course, this new hot and bothered attitude toward the son of God has more to do with the fact her husband, singer John Legend, is going to be playing the titular role in NBC’s upcoming TV musical, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live.”

“He’s like a hip Jesus, though,” Teigen said. “I saw their fitting and it was so funny, it’s like white Balmain jeans, Rick Owens torn, white shirt. I’m like, ‘Jesus is hot!’ He looks good!'”

The R&B star is playing opposite Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper as King Herod in the Easter Sunday rock opera.

Live TV Musicals Ranked by Ratings, From 'Little Mermaid' to 'Rent' (Photos)

ABC's "The Little Mermaid Live!" didn't flounder in Tuesday's primetime Nielsen ratings in comparison to the other live (and semi-live) TV musicals that came before it. And yes, that includes the most-recent and lowest-rated event, Fox's "Rent."

Last night's broadcast -- which cut between the 1989 animated film and live performances by the cast, including "Moana" star Auli'i Cravalho as Ariel and Queen Latifah as Ursula -- came in at No. 4 on the list of modern-day, live TV musicals ranked by their ratings among the key adults 18-49 demo. What makes that impressive slot even more impressive for "Little Mermaid" is that it was ABC's first foray into the genre since its rebirth, with all the other specials having aired on Fox or NBC.
