I think they deserve a thread, they made him.

I always thought he looks more like his father, but seeing these pics of his mom there is definitely resemblance, especially in facial expression.

Have you seen the cursor on that site?

No, I hadn't. This is really cool.

He's definitely got his father's lips...

I can't make out his mother's lips clearly in those pics but she definitely has the same cupid bow lips as Benedict. The resemblance to his dad is amazing.

This ^ ...That picture of the article put a big smile on my face , baby Benny looks so adorable!!!

He very much looks like both of his parents; his fathers cheekbones, lips and general facial structure, his mothers eyes, chin and facial expression.

I wonder whether we'll see "the family" again in series 4. Ben's parents were
certainly fantastic. And how incredible the show's producers were able to make the casting happen.

("big brother" too)

This is SO adorable.. awwww. Such a great family, such a happy, laughing baby Benny.. I´m melting .

I for one would be happy if we saw "the family" again in S4, I loved to see them together on screen!

I think he has his mother's nose for sure. His lips are more like his dad's. But where he got those eyes I have no idea! I love that his parents are in the Sherlock series. Just love it.
