George Clooney looks unrecognizable after hair transformation: His new look with Amal Clooney

George Clooney is saying goodbye to his distinctive silver hair. The Hollywood star was seen spending quality time with his wife Amal Clooney in New York City, ahead of his Broadway debut in the 2005 film adaptation of 'Good Night, And Good Luck.'

The actor was photographed wearing a casual look during his latest outing, which consisted of a black leather jacket, beige trousers, black-and-white Adidas sneakers, and dark sunglasses. 

The couple was seen having dinner at the French restaurant Raoul's. And while they were on a romantic outing, it was George's recently dyed hair that stole the attention. The actor looked unrecognizable in brown hair, as he has been known in recent years for his signature silver-gray hair.

The pair looked stylish in NYC, with Amal wearing a white top, and brown plaid jacket paired with baggy high-waisted jeans, black platforms, gold jewelry, and dark sunglasses. 

During a recent interview with Stephen Colbert, the actor talked about their time in the city with their kids. "They love New York! Amal went to NYU, so she's been here many times," he said, joking that the kids "did not go to NYU. They're smart kids but not that [smart]."

He continued, "I mean, come on, how do you not love this, it's New York City. They love being here and we're having a really fun time."

It's unclear if the actor dyed his hair for a new role or to portray his character in the Broadway adaptation, as he is playing journalist Edward R. Murrow, who had visible gray hair.

In the 2005 film, David Strathairn played the lead role, while the actor took a supporting role as CBS President Fred Friendly while working behind the camera.

The upcoming show explores the story of the early days of broadcast journalism in the 1950s, focusing on the conflict between television news anchor Edward R. Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy during the height of McCarthy's anti-Communist witch hunts.

The film centers around Murrow’s efforts, along with his team at CBS News, to challenge McCarthy’s tactics of fear and suspicion, which led to the blacklisting of many individuals in Hollywood and other fields.
