He was Jewish, which is Middle Eastern, so blue eyes are highly unlikely. He probably looked like Middle Eastern men look today.

Not important detail, so not mentioned in the gospels.
As born from Mary, He had physical features of jew poeple living in the Middle East in the first century. Blue eyes were not common among them, so it is not likely, dark brown is more probable.
Middle ages european artists who made paintings of Jesus were inspired in men from Europe where blue eyes are more frequently found than in Israel / Middle East. Those paintings are wrong, take "the Last Supper" for example. They are portrayed siting in benches around a high table, in Jesus time, in the middle east the table would be much lowers and they would be seated on cushions on the floor. If Da Vinci painted that scene so wrong, I wonder what other "hidden secrets/codes" people are trying to find in Da Vinci's paintings.

Discovery did a mock up of what the average Gallelian looked like at the time of Christ. According to the artists rendition, Jesus had dark curley hair, dark skin and eyes. He was rather 'robust' looking. Nothing like how he is commonly depicted.

I guess we will never know, because the people who lived during the time he walked the earth are long gone....AND nobody had cameras or painted pictures of him back then.
What's important is not some artist's rendition of him, but that Jesus laid down his life for the salvation of all men.

Not sure, I never knew him personally.
However, he was supposedly Jewish, therefore of Western Asian ethnicity. So, the only way they'd be able to have blue eyes would be due to genetic issues oR, he wasn't actually Jewish.

nobody knows, maybe if the vatican didn't stole his remainings in Jerusalem (the proof that Jesus wasn't a son of god, so their religeon would be just a bunch of crap to get money) they could have done DNA research and stuff

Well, he certainly had red blood, which was shed as an atoning sacrifice for the world. His eye color is as irrelevent as the world attempting to suddenly "Go Green". Its time to reap the whirlwind and we all will have front-row seats.

He could have had either brown, black or blue eyes. He was Jewish and lived in what is now Israel, so he would have looked like modern day Israeli men - gorgeous!!!

No, probably brown. The color of His eyes/skin/hair doesn't matter. It is what He teaches us that does.
