Summary
Noah Centineo replaced Jake T. Austin as Jesus on The Fosters, leading to mixed reactions from fans and a lack of authenticity.
Jake T. Austin left the show because he wanted a more substantial role, paving the way for Centineo to take over the character.
Fans were disappointed with the explanation of Jesus' different appearance, feeling it was a lazy attempt to address the casting change.
Although Noah Centineo first made a name for himself with the 2018 release of Netflix's To All The Boys I've Loved Before, his acting career began long before that. One of his earlier roles was on The Fosters, recasting Jake T. Austin as Jesus Adams Foster.
Noah Centineo joined The Fosters cast following Jake T. Austin's departure from the show at the end of its second season. But by the time the next season came around, it was blatantly obvious that Jesus' character had been recast. This brings up a bevy of questions, including why Jake T. Austin left The Fosters, and how the casting change was addressed in the series.
Updated on April 19, 2024 by Katie Doll: The Fosters was one of Freeform's biggest shows while it was airing. People fell in love with the dynamic family, including every actor who played them. While Noah Centineo deserves no hate for taking up the role that Jake T. Austin ultimately left, there's no denying viewers felt an unspoken difference in the show after the Season 2 cliffhanger that changed Jesus Adams Foster forever. This article has been updated to expand more on Jesus' biography and the fans' reactions to Centineo taking over the role in Season 3.
