Amal and George Clooney are one of the most fan-favorite couples in the film industry. The pair are always sharing their love and support with each other, basing their relationship on honesty, which is why the talented actor shared his thoughts on his latest hairstyle transformation for his new role on Broadway.
While stopping by Late Night with Seth Meyers on June 2, the Oscar winner didn't hold back when it came to critiquing his current look. “It’s bad,” Clooney admitted.
“It’s still dark on top, but it’s gray at the bottom. So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray." Sporting a baseball cap to hide what he calls a “mess,” the actor went on to say that the dye job makes him look like he's “going through some horrible midlife crisis.”
“I’m 64… midlife is a little stretch," he added with humor. The drastic color change comes as he is currently starring as broadcast legend Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway adaptation of 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' a role that required him to abandon his signature salt-and-pepper hair.
“I haven't dyed it in a couple of months,” he admitted during the interview, explaining the unintentional look. The change was crucial, he said, to fully embody the serious journalist.
But what does his wife Amal think of the new hairstyle?
According to George, she finds the dye job “funny." And while she has nothing bad to say about the hair transformation, she told the actor that she’ll “be glad when it’s gone," indicating that she prefers his signature look.
This isn’t the first time Clooney’s laughed at his own appearance. Back in March, he told The New York Times, “Nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair," noting that he is not a fan of the change.
Despite his preference, he is committed to the role, even more now that 'Good Night, and Good Luck' earned five Tony nominations, including Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play. “I'm not thinking very positively about winning a Tony,” he admitted after the play became the first Broadway show to gross $4 million in a single week.
