George Clooney Conceals His Criticized Broadway Hair Dye Under a Baseball Cap
"Come on, Seth, my silver fox is turning brown!" George Clooney hilariously conceded on Late Night with Seth Meyers, donning a casual cap to camouflage his recent transformation. Famous for his silver locks for decades, Clooney sported a darker dye job to embody Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway production, Good Night, and Good Luck.
Underneath the hat, a blackish-brown tinge obscured his usual no-frills suit, betraying a less enthusiastic embrace of the character's true hairstyle. "It's a mix of bad and ugly," Clooney candidly expressed his feelings to Meyers. Since dyeing his hair two months earlier, he's navigated the infamous grow-out phase, lamenting that his dark hair now harbors a stark contrast with his silver roots. "It's like I'm going through some rough midlife crisis. I'm 64, midlife is a bit of a stretch," he quipped.
Meyers tried to reassure him, praising the look on stage. "Oh, it's bad," Clooney conceded, stretching the truth with a dramatic roll of his eyes. He admitted that his wife, Amal Clooney, found the transformation entertaining. "She'll be glad when it's gone," he said.
