First-time Tony nominee George Clooney shares honest take on his Broadway debut look: Nothing makes you look older...
It has to be some next-level high, to debut on Broadway at 63 years of age, and snag a nomination in one of the most coveted categories of the night. Well that's probably just what it feels like, to be George Clooney. The actor, now 64, formidably forayed into the live arc lights earlier this year with his turn as journalist Edward R Murrow in the Good Night, and Good Luck production. Not only did he deliver a smashing debut, but also landed a nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Play.
George sauntered into New York's Radio City Music Hall last night, with wife Amal Alamuddin in tow, for his first stint as a Tony nominee. During a red carpet byte, the actor got candid about his very (and we don't say that lightly) controversial Broadway debut look.
"...Not a good look", admitted George, adding, "Nothing makes you look older than dyeing your hair dark". Quipping about how wife Amal put up with his very brief brunette era, the actor said, "She put up with me for a while". It is worth mentioning here, that Amal was right by George's side for his Tonys stint, after weeks and weeks of an impending $300 million divorce rumours, doing the rounds of the internet.
For context, George's statement salt and pepper head of hair, which has had women (and men) swooning for decades, took a temporary back seat, as he went completely brunette with not a speck of grey, in an attempt to commit to his character of Edward R Murrow. Now it's hard to make George look bad per se, but the demand for a return of the salt and pepper look, was nearly unanimous — and so just like that, it's back.

Speaking about his first Broadway stint, he recalled, "It ended up being a really fun experience, the audience seemed to dig it. We had a really good night, last night. It was hard to do a live show. It's a little nerve-wracking you know".
But does THE George Clooney ever get nervous? "Yeah! I'm old, man", he laughed; "The older you get the harder it is to remember things".
As far as George's Tony nomination goes, the veteran Hollywood ace, lost the win to Oh Mary! star and creator Cole Escola, who incidentally, made history with their win, as the the first non-binary nominee and winner in the said category.
Well, at least we're all still winning, given that George is back in his silver fox era!

George Clooney Ditches Drug Dealer Dye Job, Her Wife Approves
Published By : Yatamanyu Narain Trending Desk Last Updated: According to George Clooney, his wife, Amal, was relieved when he returned to his usual salt and pepper hair after the Broadway show ended. George Clooney recently appeared at the 78th Annual Tony Awards, showing off his natural grey hair, after dyeing it black for his role as Edward R Murrow in the Broadway play Good Night and Good Luck. According to Clooney, his wife, Amal, 'was the happiest person" when he returned to his usual salt and pepper hair after the show ended. He even joked that his black hair looked like a bad dye job and compared it with the style of a drug dealer. Speaking with People, the actor said, 'Oh man, my wife [Amal] was the happiest person when I came home after the play today and I'd cut all the hair off. Because, you know, I looked like a drug dealer with that bad black dye job." George Clooney has shared before that his wife, Amal, really didn't like his black hair look. During an earlier interview with CNN, the Ocean's Eleven star admitted that even though the dark hair helped him go unnoticed in New York, something that never usually happens. Amal also thought it didn't look good on him and wasn't shy about saying the same thing. George Clooney's play, Good Night, and Good Luck, recently made Broadway history. The Tony-nominated show, where Clooney plays journalist Edward R Murrow, had one of its final performances broadcast live on CNN on June 7. This was the first time a live Broadway performance was shown on TV at the same time it was happening on stage. The show took place at the Winter Garden Theatre and this special moment made it even more memorable. The Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck is based on George Clooney's 2005 film with the same title. Back then, Clooney had written, directed and acted in the movie. In the film, the role of journalist Edward R Murrow was played by David Strathairn, while Clooney stepped into the shoes of Fred W Friendly, who worked closely with Murrow as his co-producer. Now, years later, Clooney has returned to the story and this time he played Murrow on stage. First Published:
