Vanessa Benavente<\/strong>, who portrays Mary in The Chosen, has<\/a> opened up about the intense emotions surrounding the filming of Jesus\u2019 crucifixion for Season 6.<\/p>\n

She said<\/a> some cast members were left \u201ccrying inconsolably<\/strong>\u201d after cameras stopped rolling. During filming in Matera, Italy, Benavente<\/strong> sometimes had to remind herself that everyone was safe and that what they were portraying was not actually happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not real,\u201d <\/strong>she would repeat to herself as she tried to come out of the emotion of the scene.<\/p>\n

Even after filming ended, she said some of those feelings stayed with her.<\/p>\n
