- nfnaaron 17y agoI was wondering if he wears shades so you can never know for sure if it's him or a stand-in.
- philwelch 17y agoGiven how consistently they have famine over there, they must have trouble fattening up his body doubles enough.
- ugh 17y agoHe looks quite skinny, actually.
- philwelch 17y agoI just remember a lot of pictures of him looking rather pot-bellied. It probably wasn't the most tasteful remark but you have to wonder about chubby dictators who rule starving countries.
- ugh 17y agoI have no problem whatsoever with untasteful remarks about, among all people, Kim Jong Il. I was only quite surprised how skinny he looked. I also had different memories. Maybe it’s that ugly coat?
- elblanco 17y agoHe's been very ill recently. Nobody knows exactly with what, but the first videos of him after the illness showed him looking absolutely just-off-of-life-support. The belief is that he had a stroke, if you look at one of his ungloved hands in the photos, it looks swollen and not entirely functional, which jives with what the analysts are guessing.
