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!

The Devil Wears Prada sequel should be in production by this time next month, reveals alum Emily Blunt!
The 2010s rom-com glow is shining bright on Emily Blunt's cheeks as she gears up to step right back into the tall, tall shoes of her iconic namesake on-screen persona for the official Devil Wears Prada sequel. As per some exclusive Entertainment Tonight intel, the already icon-status second installment is set to go into production in July. And that's in less than a month! Appropriately, Emily is teeming with excitement and feeling equal parts nostalgic. In a byte to ET, when asked if she can believe a sequel is actually underway, 2 decades later, she gasped, "No", adding, "20 years ago, in a blink, it's gone by". Allegedly pressed for details herself, Emily didn't have much to spill about where her in-house namesake would be, 2 decades down the line: "It's so weird, I haven't even read a script. I don't know, I'm just like, where is she? I don't know", she quipped. One thing Emily did reflect on but, was her on-screen antagonistic vibe with Meryl: "God why are Meryl and I always so mean to each other in every movie we do? We always have like beef with each other. I don't know what it hope we remedy it...". A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Yes girl, give us NOTHING! But the actor sure did feel bad about not spilling any of the deets as she added, "I'm not sure. Can you tell I'm skirting the issue? (laughs)". Besides us, another little lot that's excited to live out the sequel on the big screen, are her daughters, Hazel, 11, and Violet, 9. She said, "For the fashion! They're like, Mary Schmopins. Devil Wears Prada, they're all about it!". The film is slated for a release on May 1 of next year, making it the Friday right before the first Monday of May — the Met Monday! And needless to say, one and all are gearing up for a fashion-fueled kickstart to the Summer month. "Everybody wants this!" and that's a fact.
