Glassesbatch vs. my dad

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.

I love how in these shots Adonis Cumbergod's lovely ginger curls are given free rein and haven't been dyed weird shades --do you reckon this is his natural color or is it possible to know? One of my favorite moments in August Osage County is when his character needs to comb his hair and is handed a pitiful plastic comb that is woefully inadequate to the task. :)
The Tiff commentator's snide comment about David Cronenberg made me howl with laughter. :D

and
"He knows how you feel about him, and although he’s flattered, he really does think you two are better off as just friends. And somehow, he manages to tell you without making you feel foolish or immature, and you come away feeling better about yourself."
being my favs.
I can't really tell if his hair's been colored at all in the TIFF pics. His kind of reddish tint depends a lot on the lighting. But at least it's not that awful platinum.
