Interestingly enough (and as a bit of aside), there was a (very) old school of thought that believed Christ had leprosy.
And, Strange Famous, rant aside, many of us are perfectly aware what Christ's real name was (Jesus being the Greekified version of Joshua), and that "Christ" is an honorific, not a name.
