SW has a tendency to describe features of a person which I find utterly fascinating (for eg: 'Turing used to giggle a lot', now compare that with the somber depiction of Turing in 'The Imitation Game'). In the write up on Ramanujam, SW mentions that he was stocky, apart from many personal tidbits.

You should read Andrew Hodges work "Alan Turing: The Enigma" on which "The Imitation Game" is allegedly partly based.

The contrasts are striking.
