George Clooney, 64, Is Officially Back After Taking a ‘Weed Whacker' to His Head
George Clooney, 64, Is Officially Back After Taking a 'Weed Whacker' to His Head originally appeared on Parade.
George Clooney is back to his salt-and-pepper self after getting just about every last bit of dye off his hair. The actor spoke to E! News at the 2025 Tony Awards on June 8 about getting back to his signature look.
"That black hair dye... I had to cut it out, I couldn't ... you can't color it out. So, I had to cut it all out, like, with a weed whacker to get it out of there," he joked.
Clooney made headlines when he dyed his hair a dark brown hue ahead of his Broadway debut. The look received mixed reactions and many people preferred the Ocean's Eleven actor in his classic gray — including his wife, Amal Clooney.

'Oh man, my wife was the happiest person when I came home after the play today and I'd cut all the hair off," George told People at the Tonys. "Because, you know, I looked like a drug dealer with that bad black dye job."
George had a limited run in the play Good Night, and Good Luck at Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan. He dyed his hair in an effort to truly embody the role of CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow. When he first made the drastic change, George told The New York Times that he didn't think the look would go over well at home.
"My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair," he told the outlet, adding, "My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop."

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper shares health update from A&E after suffering 'painful' injury
Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper has revealed he suffered a painful foot injury following a game of football earlier this week. The 26-year-old shared an update from A&E on Wednesday, confirming he had fractured his foot after taking a tumble on Tuesday evening. Posting to Instagram, Cooper showed followers a video of his visibly swollen ankle as he hobbled around the farm, grimacing in pain. He said: 'I just got back from football and I'm trying to shut the chickens up and look at that ankle, ahh pain, the pain, the pain!' The following morning, the 26-year-old posted an update from hospital as he prepared for an x-ray. Hours later, he confirmed the ankle was fractured and showed off a medical boot fitted to stabilise the injury. 'Not good,' he wrote, before adding in a separate video that he was now 'hobbling around'. Despite the break, Cooper insisted he will still attend this weekend's Three Counties Show, where he's due to appear on Sunday. He said: 'I may be hobbling around as I have fractured my ankle but I will still be at the Three Counties Show on Sunday. 'I've got my Kaleb Cooper contracting stand there, Hawkstone cider, as well as I'll be doing talks through out the day on the Sunday, so do pop along to say hello. 'I am looking forward to this one even though I maybe hobbling around I will be there.' The news comes after viewers criticised Cooper for being frosty towards with temporary farmhand Harriet Cowan on the latest series of Clarkson's Farm. Cowan was brought in to cover Cooper's absence while he embarked on a live stage tour. But when he returned, viewers were quick to pick up on his standoffish behaviour — with one tense scene showing Cooper silently inspecting Cowan's work before making a pointed remark about fertiliser. The interaction sparked backlash, with some fans labelling Cooper 'rude' and 'childish', and even suggesting he should be dropped from the show. Others criticised him for being unwelcoming to a newcomer doing her job. Jeremy Clarkson himself appeared to call out the behaviour during filming, joking that Cooper had contracted 'c*** flu' after spending too long being pampered on tour and needed to re-acclimate to farm life. However, Cooper and Cowan have since found friendlier footing, with later episodes showing them getting on.

‘Angry Alan' review: A commanding John Krasinski takes on YouTube in compelling off-Broadway play
Theater review ANGRY ALAN 85 minutes with no intermission. At Studio Seaview, 305 W. 43rd Street. For nine years, audiences grew to love John Krasinski's mild-mannered Jim on 'The Office': His half-grins, dry confessionals, knowing glances at Pam. Jim was one of TV's nicest guys. And that's what makes the puppy-dog actor's casting in Penelope Skinner's engrossing play 'Angry Alan,' which opened off-Broadway Wednesday at the brand-spankin'-new Studio Seaview, so shrewd. There's instantaneous affection for Krasinski's divorced dad character Roger, sight unseen. In director Sam Gold's production — a rapid-fire slideshow of a man unraveling — he even lives in a sit-com-like shoebox house. After a short honeymoon phase, our devotion to Roger is repeatedly tested, tensely, as the normal-at-first dude grows darker and becomes obsessed with frightening ideologies in a warped corner of the internet. Like watching a terrible news story, we quietly wonder if the same unfortunate fate could befall someone emotionally struggling in our own lives. Freakier still, it absolutely can. Roger has a lot of reasons to be unhappy. His teen son barely speaks to him, an artsy girlfriend has been distant after meeting new like-minded friends and he's landed a job at a grocery store since getting let go from a lucrative gig at AT&T. The downcast dad finds some solace in 'Angry Alan,' a YouTuber who rails online about men being given the old heave-ho by what he believes is now a women-run world. 3 John Krasinski plays Roger in 'Angry Alan.' Jonny Cournoyer Initially, Rog's takeaways from the channel are innocent enough: That more men are depressed today; that fewer are graduating from college; that being a provider is an unnecessarily burdensome male stereotype. But the rhetoric fast turns violent, rage-filled and all-consuming. Those early sparks of sweet Jim are soon snuffed out. Roger still wrings out a laugh here and there, but with increasing discomfort. He pours all his time and cash into 'Angry Alan.' He's glued to his screen constantly and attends a messed-up convention with weirdos in Detroit. He stops paying child support. He keeps damaging secrets from his girlfriend. Eventually Roger's gross jokes make us squirm in our seats. The ever-shifting part takes full advantage of Krasinski's naturally positive vibe, which adds complexity to a chatty fellow who could easily be a pain in the ass. The actor also reveals an unexpected magnetism that TV kept under a bushel. 3 Roger's life unravels after he discovers a charismatic and controversial YouTuber. Jonny Cournoyer Krasiniski is a much more commanding stage performer than I ever thought he'd be, and he capably freight-trains through his almost-monologue while never sacrificing nuance or beats of the story. Gold, who theatergoers tend to associate with pregnant pauses, does just as well with Skinner's gap-free dash as he does with Annie Baker's pot-head grazes. 'Angry Alan,' to be sure, is a good play, not an excellent one. I'm particularly iffy on Skinner's ending. There's a powerful visual reveal, and then the drama's most tender — and, in the case of Krasinski, tenderizing — acting. 3 The play doesn't quite stick the landing. Jonny Cournoyer But the confluence of climactic events happens way too smoothly, too deliberately, and results in more of a thesis statement about the state of gender and masculinity than a believable, gripping interaction. It's OK to be both, however 'Angry Alan' skews too far toward the essay side of things. A moment later, the whole shebang is abruptly over with a snap of the fingers, as if a producer offstage is giving a 'wrap it up!' signal. That said, it's a play that keeps you thinking well after blackout. 'Angry Alan' leads to a contemplative audience.
