Blondie?


At what point was he ever Blonde!

reply

Compared to Mexicans he was lighter haired and fair skinned, Italians have a catch all slang term for fair skinned people "biondo" or "bionda"

reply

^^^ This! His fair skin got him the nickname.

Additionally, Eastwood did have some natural blonde highlights at the time, particularly in parts of his beard. Recall that Angel Eyes refers to him as "that blonde," too.

reply

Angel eyes says tuco has a "blonde haired angel Watching over him "during his hangings

That may be so about the blonde highlights, but Eastwood could never in a million years be said to be blonde.

Yes, in Italian, he'd be called "biondo," but in Mexican slang, it's "güero," which means blonde, fair haired, or fair skinned.
