George Clooney mocks his own hair color after fans said he looks older without gray hair
Actor George Clooney made a shakeup with his hair for Broadway, but it isn't quite as loved by everyone else in his life
George Clooney, who continues to be critical of the former Biden administration, showed his age with a bit of a laugh.
The actor recently attended an unveiling ceremony for a Sardi's caricature created of him. In the drawing, he was depicted with his graying hair, which has become a part of his brand. However, while making an appearance at the event, his hair didn't quite match the artistic look. Instead, it was dyed a brown shade for his role on Broadway.
George told the crowd, “Look at the hair color. I like it. It's much better, better than my hair color right now."
The shakeup in his appearance was first premiered on March 8. However, they got their first on-stage moment at a preview for his Broadway show, Good Night and Good Luck on March 11.
Not only did the actor make a change in his appearance, George also fully committed to the bit as he slid into the persona of jounalist Edward R. Murrow in the stage adaptation of the film, which came out in 2005. George directed the original film and even co-wrote with Grant Heslov who starred as news producer Fred W. Friendly.
Edward is a CBS newsman who died of lung cancer after smoking three packs of cigarettes a day. Despite the clear health warning in the story, George wanted to fully embrace the character as he "had to get better at inhaling," but doesn't like smoking himself.
While George stayed light-hearted, he previously confessed that his wife, Amal Clooney, wasn't thrilled about his new look. He told The New York Times, "My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair. My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop."
Following his comment about Amal not loving his look, rumors that their relationship hit a tough patch emerged. An insider claimed to Woman's Day New Zealand that they were "drifting apart" because the distance between them was rather "testing," so it appeared that the pair would be living separately at first. Ultimately, though, Amal and the kids made the move to New York City to support, seemingly resolving the difficult distance issues.
With his wife and kids in town, they'll be able to watch George's big Broadway moment. However, they won't be given the luxury treatment of front row seats. He told CBS News, "I'm not looking at them. I'm putting my wife in the very, very, very back."
