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!

Snoop Dogg reacts to Jonathan Davis playing him in his biopic: ‘Beautiful depiction of who I am'

Popular American musician Snoop Dogg's long-awaited biopic is officially moving forward, and the rap icon has shared heartfelt thoughts on the actor stepping into his shoes. Jonathan Daviss, best known for his breakout role in Netflix's Outer Banks, has been cast as the lead in the film, which will chronicle Snoop's journey from Calvin Broadus Jr. to global hip-hop legend. A post shared by Death Row Pictures (@deathrowpictures) Directed by Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow, Coming 2 America), the project is being produced by Snoop himself, alongside Brian Grazer and Sara Ramaker. Craig is currently rewriting the original script, which was penned by Joe Robert Cole. The Snoop Dogg biopic enters a thriving space for musical storytelling in Hollywood, joining the ranks of successful recent projects like A Complete Unknown. With Snoop closely involved and Jonathan committed to honoring the man behind the legend, anticipation for the film is already running high. Speaking on the red carpet of the 2025 BET Awards, Snoop opened up about what it means to see his life portrayed on screen and why Jonathan felt like the right fit. 'The whole thing man, he's a dynamic actor, he's a great spirit... It's just a beautiful thing to be able to find somebody that can actually do justice to you while you're still here and able to see it,' Snoop said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. He went on to describe the scope of the film, promising an intimate, layered portrayal: 'you'll just see the evolution... from creation to innovation... you'll be able to see the upbringings, the teachings, the lessons, the things that I went through... just a beautiful depiction of who I am.' For Daviss, known for playing Pope Heyward and recently seen in Do Revenge, the opportunity is both monumental and deeply personal. 'playing a character like like Dog man he's he's an icon... I really want to get down to who he was as a person,' he said. 'I take it in small pieces... it's a process and I've just been learning and growing and got a great teacher,' Jonathan added. The film also marks the first title to come out of Death Row Pictures' overall deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios, with Universal's Ryan Jones overseeing the production.
