There are non biblical records of him.

"Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure." [Flavius Josephus who lived 37 to 100 A.D.]

"His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance." [Pontius Pilate in a letter to Caesar]

There lives at this time in Judea a man of singular virtue whose name is Jesus, whom barbarians esteem as a prophet...He calls back the dead...heals all sorts of diseases. He is a tall man...his hair of a color that can hardly be matched, falling into graceful curls,...His forehead high...his cheeks without spot or wrinkle...his nose and mouth formed with exquisite symmetry...his beard, of a color suitable to his hair...his eyes bright blue, clear and serene...He is temperate, modest and wise. A man for his extraordinary beauty and perfection, surpassing the children of men in every sense." [Lucius Lentulus, circa 30 A.D.]
