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.

Oh, that's so funny!

Add me to the list of people who think he didn't get glasses that fit him right (BC I mean, not your dad). It's the sides, like he's wearing them oddly b/c when they're where they're supposed to be, they hurt. I imagine someone as busy as him hasn't had time to go back to the store for an adjustment.

My glasses actually did that -- I had to drive back in just to get them to bend the earpieces more comfortably. Then something else felt odd and I had to go back AGAIN. Glasses aren't an exact science.

Not sure about the hair. I want to say it's just the style he favors now, that slicked-back stuff. But he is on the downhill slope to 40...(joining me, LOL!).

Yeah, I think you're probably right about the earpiece chafing him. Says a lot that the poor man is so busy he can't take time to get them adjusted!
