Exactly my thought: Petition - can we please have the cheekbones back? The cheekbones are paramount.

I don't like it when they do that. Such a pretty face.............

SusiGo · June 23, 2014 7:29 pm

Well, we wanted him to work again.

MartaSt · June 23, 2014 7:31 pm

Everything for the role. And as I can see Bulger doesn't have so visible cheekbones so they cannot keep Benedict's cheekbones. Cruel reality

It probably won't mean anything to anyone, but in these two pics he looks like a mixture of Patrick Swayze and the actor who played Ianto in "Torchwood".

And oh well... cheekbones are paramount indeed, but let's be grateful that they aren't really gone.

I can totally see that!

And I do miss the cheekbones too...

SolarSystem · June 23, 2014 7:45 pm

Since we all seem to miss those cheekbones already...

Solar, you know how to restore balance to the universe

I see a bit of the young Roger Moore....

Awh now there they are! And in B/W

I'm not going to cope am I?

This. I don't think physical resemblance is that important, he'd sell us Bulger with no costume and make-up
I'm joking but I hope he can speak normally with those pads.

His hair looks so fair when he is outside...

You're welcome, Susi. And btw, your b/w and sepia pic were both just ...!

Here's one more:

I think this is the best photo of Alan so far

SolarSystem · June 23, 2014 8:32 pm

Btw, sideburns instead of cheekbones...!

Nothing is gonna replace cheekbones but at least it's something

This is what makes him a great actor - his ability to morph into the role so much that we hardly recognize him. I find it fascinating. I heard similar "complaints" when he became Asange. Fans didn't like the way he looked. Well, he can't look the same - meaning look like himself- in every part he plays. He becomes the character. The cheekbones will have to go this time. BTW - I thought he was playing Willy Bulger, not his brother. Don't tell me this is another bit part!

Johnny Depp is playing the lead, Whitey Bulger, the gangster. Benedict is Billy, the politician.

And another pic:
