Odd thing though, there isn't any physical description in the Bible of what Christ actually looked like.

Nor is there for Adam, Eve, Moses, any of the Prophets, Judges, Saul, Jonathan, David, Joseph, Mary, or any of the twelve Apostles except perhaps for Judas Iscariot because the last name may mean "of the red hair." It was not part of the way oral or written narrative was done in the Middle East. It had to do with "graven image" and the avoidance of same.
