Commentary: Whatever the intention of the author who is certainly doing fiction and employing writers' liberty, the two sayings are invitations to Buddhists and Christians to meditate on the humanity of the one and the other.

Buddha never claimed to be anything but human; Jesus is taught by His followers to be a complete man, in everything except sin. Having to go to the bathroom is not a sin. Of course Christians also teach that He is true God, which however does not diminish his true and complete humanity.
