English term or phrase: My son got his old man's looks
Commedia teatrale canadese. Un uomo presenta la sua nuova fidanzata al padre, che è scettico sulla loro relazione e si rivolge alla ragazza:

I hope you know what you're doing, though. My son got his old man's looks I'm afraid.

La mia proposta:

Spero che tu sappia quello stai facendo. Mio figlio ha preso tutto dal padre, temo.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!
