Glassesbatch vs. my dad

[swissmarg]

Benedict Cumberbatch in those glasses at TIFF (here are a few photos, scroll down) reminds me a lot of my dad:



In fact I think those are the exact same frames. :p Anyone else getting a 1950s vibe? Also, is BC's hairline receding?

Exhibits A and B:



I'm voting yes. Although his father still has a fairly strong hairline, assuming he doesn't wear hairpieces.

Seriously laughing at the guy on the right (http://wpmedia.arts.nationalpost.com/2014/09/film_tiff_the_imitation_game_20140909_34080645.jpg?w=940&h=688).

His hairline is not receding. Benedict just has a huge forehead.

I just added two pics of Benedict for comparison. He does have a rather large forehead but I think some hair loss is also happening. Not that I find that unattractive. The more skin he shows the better. ;) And I love all those wrinkles around his eyes that you can see in a couple of the TIFF pics. But then I'm old. :D

Ah yeah, I suppose I know what you mean, I always thought he had a widow's peak but then there's also little curves on the sides which is usually indicative of that. I DON'T FIND IT UNATTRACTIVE EITHER.
