hedgehog-goulash7: team-downey1965: NEW: Robert Downey Jr on the set of Doctor Dollitle in Buckinghamshire! https://dailym.ai/2I6Y1sJ via Well - it’s certainly A Look ™. At least we know for sure they’re doing it as a period piece (the original Dolittle books, which were written and published in the 1920s, were set in a sort of fantasy 1820s…). (LOL, oh, Bob, the muttonchops do nothing for you. But I’m kind of liking the threadbare hat and coat – Dolittle was an eccentric1820s doctor who was far more at home with animals than with people, and he was far from wealthy. The year 1820 was pretty much the end of the Regency era – you know, Jane Austen era, basically – so it would stand to reason that Dolittle would probably recycle his outfits from that time for quite a while. The More You KNow: “muttonchops” and various other side-whiskers were A Thing for manly men in the 1800s - they really only went out of fashion in WWI, when soldiers HAD to be clean-shaven along the sides of their faces…in order to effectively wear a gas mask.
