George Clooney swaps red carpets for softball at Central Park

George Clooney is showing off his athleticism. The actor, director, and filmmaker has been living in New York for the past year, starring in the Broadway play "Good Night and Good Luck." The theater run has made him one of New York's biggest figures. This week, he joined the Broadway Show League for a game of softball in Central Park, rocking a grey uniform and having the best time.

He was photographed having a good time as he pitched, caught the ball, and stepped up to bat, with onlookers recording some of their favorite moments. 

He appeared to be having a great time and has been spotted over the past months playing against different Broadway casts.

Clooney's life in New York came with a hairstyle change

One of the most striking changes Clooney has faced over the past year, aside from being based primarily in New York, has been a hairstyle. Clooney traded his trademark salt and pepper for an entirely black hairstyle, a change made for "Good Night and Good Luck."

Clooney doesn't love the look. “It’s bad,” he said in an appearance with "Late Night with Seth Meyers." 

“It’s still dark on top, but it’s gray at the bottom. So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray." When addressing whether his new hair is a part of a mid-life crisis, Clooney had a great quip:  “I’m 64… midlife is a little stretch."

On previous occasions, he's revealed that his wife Amal also doesn't love the look and that they'll be glad when he's back to his natural hair tone. “Nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair," he said.
