Closely compare hairline, nose shape, ears and eyebrows. There appear to be dissimilarities, but it could be the differences in lighting and camera angle.
I don't believe they're the same person, for the following reasons:
1. The ears are different
2. The bridge of the nose in Photo #1 is smaller than in Photo #2
3. The tip of the nose points downward in photo #1 as opposed to Photo #2 (where it's also more bulbous)
4. Eye color appears to be different
5. The moles are not evident in Photo #1
6. The cheeks are not as puffy in Photo #1
7. The forehead is longer in Photo #1, and not because of a receding hairline -- it's a different shape.
I wish I could see his hands -- that would give away quite a bit.
