Jesus was a jew, so probably looked jewish - however jews looked 2000 years ago.
The classic crucifix picture is a catholic invention, I don't believe Jesus was skinny and had long hair, (perhaps a short beard though)
Considering many are non-religious, Jesus appears to have been a fisherman and carpenter
So Jesus probably looked like a tough ethnic dude, probably with strong forearms, and a short beard and short hair.
I know... I am only speculating, but I reckon my guess is better than a tall pale anorexic blonde man portrayed on crucifixes.

He looked like the average Israeli: Brown hair, brown eyes, tanned, and as an Orthodox Jew, he had a beard. As such, he also had short hair, unlike the pictures that depict him with long hair.

Well...since he is Jewish he would not have had long hair and a short beard...switch those. He most likely would have been of dark complexion. Scripture says that he looked like an ordinary man. So I would venture to say he looked pretty much like everyone else in the areas he travelled.

No one definitely knows. Those times didn't have exact photocameras but only painted pictures. Maybe people just drew him ugly and wrong because of the governmental problems and hate from the pagans. You can search in Google for pictures :-)

It doesn't matter what Jesus looked like. Historians say Jesus was semetic-looking.

He was a Jew. Do Jews look black, brown or asian? No. They are white. Does it matter? No.
