Do you want to make clothes for Che? :P

[_yoldas_08]

no i just wanted to learn.............

[Big Boss]

Well, I don't know exactly about his features since he changed them a lot. For example, he lost and gained weight during his years in the Cuban goverment. He used to cut his hair short and let it grow long from time to time. I'm sure the info is somewhere on the internet, I just don't know where.

[ReD_ReBeL]

sorry man i don't know either, but i read somewhere that he was 5ft8

[Janus]

There must be some official records out there that have this info but I'm not sure how to get a hold of it.
I suppose that we could estimate his height to be under 6 feet, maybe 5'10'' or 5'11'. His weight is a different matter since he put on some pounds after the Cuban Revolution. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by physical traits; his body type is a bit stocky I guess.

if he was short hed of been a nasty dictator. i think psychologists have proved that short guys have to make up with swagger. just read "of mice and men". and besides, stalin was short and lok what happened there

That has no truthful basis at all. Besides, 5'8'' is considered short in some nations.

i think psychologists have proved that short guys have to make up with swagger
No they haven't. Psychologists analyze the interconnection between psychological and mental processes and behavior.

just read "of mice and men"
That's a fictional novel.

stalin was short and lok what happened there
You actually think that a person's height has that much of an effect on their behavior? Then, why aren't there many more dictators running around?

[which doctor]

Kim Jong Il is a very short nasty dictator.

Napoleon and Hitler...even Emperor Augustus can be put in there :P

But okay...how do you define short or tall? Im 6'1", does that make me really tall? There are tons of people who I know who are taller than me. However we've noticed that Americans are just midgets compared to us...Brad Pitt for example...tiny little peewee..Tom Cruise? A Gnome!

There it says like this on number 77.

"77 El Che Guevara era de complexión delgada, excepto en los días de vida sedentaria en su oficina, época en que aumentó de peso y robustez en la cintura. Hombros altos y torso aplanado. Medía aproximadamente 1.73 metros de estatura. Cabellos castaños rizados y los ojos ligeramente azules. Era un individuo introvertido, parco, tranquilo, cerebral, y de una franqueza cortante"


Do you need translation?

Why does the autopsy report say he was white?

He was light-skinned for a hispanic, but I don't think he would be considered white in most places.

[Janus]

He was mainly of Spanish, Basque, and Irish descent. That would pretty much classify him as white.

[Big Boss]

He's considered white among the hispanic comunity. He's light-skined to others. It depends on the perspective I guess.

[Spartacus]

He was no where near 6 feet. He was about 5'8" that's pretty tall for Latin Americans, although that's the average height in Western society. And hedidn't weigh more than 200 lbs. i say between 175 and 190, judging by his pictures. and he did not have light blue eyes. That color was caused by his death.

Any source on "eye color change when dead?"

What did he have for eye color then?

Judging by his pictures? Have you seen any *color* photographs of Che?

Is Che less cool if he was a white european? Keep in mind that Che was Argentine, not Mexican or Venezuelan or Cuban by birth. Argentina has a larger white majority by percentile than the United States or Canada.

And he was 5'8 according to both sources, someone 5'8 who weighed 190 or even 175 would look fat, and he doesn't look fat in his photos. Guys who are like five or six inchs taller than Che was would weigh like 190 lbs with his body type...he probably weighed more like 140-150.

Hello Everyone!
This is my first post.

From what I have read Che was probably a few inches short of 6ft. If you look at photos of him marching in line with Fidel and Raul (for example on the day of the Le Coubre victims' funeral) he is shorter than Fidel and Dorticos. I'd say 5' 8", 5'9" maybe 5' 10"? The autopsy says 173 cms - that is about 5'7" but I am not sure how accurately you can measure someone in those circumstances and as there appear to be other inaccuracies it makes you wonder!

His weight fluctuated fairly drastically due to the different circumstances in which he was living at different times - he was pretty thin towards the end of the revolutionary war. Aleida says her first impression of him was he was 'dirty and skinny'! He seems to have gained weight fairly rapidly after he had recovered from the ill health that plagued him in early 1959 (emphysema, anaemia, exhaustion) and looks heavier even by the time he married Aleida. He attributed his later weight gain to the steroid based medication he took to control his asthma although he came out of the Congo having lost a significant percentage of his body weight and presumably this happened again in Bolivia as his corpse looked pretty lean.

A number of sources refer to his pale skin (perhaps only pale vis-a-vis many darker skinned people in Latin America) and I agree with the comments reference Che's Spanish/Irish descent. But what does a person's skin colour matter?

[Karl Marx's Camel]

and he did not have light blue eyes. That color was caused by his death.

Is that true?

Eye color change after dying?

[Vladislav]

Let's try it and see.

[Tete Calvache]

I have read that eye colour can change after death due to the loss of pigment which may drain from the eyes. Che is photographed laid on his back in most pictures of him after death so perhaps this added to the process of pigment loss ...

Tete

[RedAnarchist]

Does it matter? Che didn't become a revolutionary in order to become a pin-up or a logo. We all know that, so why the need to know so much about things which are mainly accidents of birth and genes?

[FistFullOfSteel]

About eye color changing. I'm not that good in english so I dunno what somethings mean, but I read this on wikipedia.org.


"When death occurs
Breathing ceases entirely.
Heartbeat and pulse stop.
The person is entirely unresponsive to stimuli.
The eyes may be fixed in directions. The pupils are dilated and fixed to light. The eyelids may be open or closed.
A loss of control of urine and/or bowels may occur.
The skin may become pale (known as pallor mortis); there may be signs of blood buildup in the part of the body at lowest elevation (known as Livor mortis).
The person becomes progressively mottled and cold (algor mortis) and stiff (rigor mortis). "
