George Clooney says his kids 'don't care' about his fame: 'They just want to see Taylor Swift...'
George Clooney's kids "don't care" about his fame. The 64-year-old actor - who has eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with his wife Amal Clooney - has been one of the biggest names in Hollywood for decades but admitted that his children are not fazed by the circles he moves in. They want to see Taylor Swift. The funniest part is that they have no idea of references. Robert DeNiro will be at the house and they're like 'Who's that?' They don't care!" The former ER star made his Broadway debut in the new play Good Night, and Good Luck and while he lost out the Tony Award for Best Actor to Oh, Mary! actor Cole Escala, he insisted that he is just as "lucky" to have the support of his wife in the first place. He said: "I have this incredible partner who I couldn't be more proud of. "She's the bravest human being I've ever met in my life. I am deeply proud of her and the fact that she's in any way proud of me, if just, I can't believe how lucky I am." George had to shave his famed salt-and-pepper locks for his role as Edward R. Murrow in the play, and joked that he had to use a "weed whacker" to achieve the look. He said: "I had to cut it all out with a weed whacker to get it all. "That black hair dye, I had to cut it out. You can't color that." Howver, George was keen to revert to his usual looks in time for the awards. Speaking on Late Night with Seth Myers, he said: "We do a matinee, and then by the time we go to the Tonys that night, it'll be gone. "I may have a shaved head!" What's more, Amal made it clear to George that she was not really a fan of his new look either. Speaking on CBS Mornings, George said: "It's not my favorite look, and my wife, she thinks it's funny. "Honestly, nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dyeing your hair!"

George Clooney, Sarah Snook, Nicole Scherzinger and More Stun on the Red Carpet Ahead of the 78th Tony Awards
It couldn't rain on anyone's parade ahead of the 78th Tony Awards. On Sunday evening, Broadway's finest, including George Clooney, Mia Farrow, Lea Michele and Tonys host Cynthia Erivo, gathered outside of Radio City Music Hall under a covered red carpet, avoiding the dreary New York City weather. Additional attendees included Sarah Paulson, Keanu Reeves, Sadie Sink, Katie Holmes and Michelle Williams. More from WWD Amal Clooney Drips in Pearls at Tony Awards 2025 With White Tamara Ralph Gown, George Clooney Keeps it Classic in Tuxedo Cynthia Erivo Holds Court in Schiaparelli Gown and 3D Floral Nail Art at Tony Awards 2025 Cole Escola Pays Tribute to Bernadette Peters in Custom Wiederhoeft Dress at Tony Awards 2025 Throughout the evening, there was one word on nearly everyone's lips: 'Hamilton,' as the original Broadway cast would be performing during the event to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary on Broadway. Much of the cast, including creator Lin Manuel Miranda, Jonathan Groff, Daveed Diggs, Christopher Jackson, Phillipa Soo, Leslie Odom Jr. and Reneé Elise Goldsberry, walked the carpet embracing other stars who were buzzing with excitement for what the performance could be. 'This is a reunion of sorts, but so many of us see each other regularly,' said original cast member Emmy Raver-Lampman. 'It hasn't been this capacity of all 28 of us being in a room together [so] that is something really special.' Of the night ahead, Diggs said: '[It's] strong turn-up vibes. Wherever these cats are afterward is where you're going to want to be.' Attendees were equally as excited to see Erivo host the award show for the first time. 'I am very excited to just watch her sing her face off,' said James Monroe Iglehart, who donned Dolce & Gabana sneakers and is nominated for his role in 'A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical.' Meanwhile, many were eager to see Groff from 'Just in Time,' who also took home the Tony award for best actor in a musical for his role in 'Merrily We Roll Along' last season. Michele, who most recently starred in the revival of 'Funny Girl' walked with her costars Nicholas Christopher and Aaron Tveit from the upcoming product of 'Chess.' While walking the carpet, Michele gushed about her two friends, former 'Glee' costars and nominees Groff and Darren Criss, who she called 'family.' On the carpet, Farrow, who was nominated for her role in 'The Roommate' alongside Patti Lupone, gushed: 'I hope Jonathan Groff is singing.' Farrow also discussed how honored she was to be in the presence of so many Broadway legends. 'I'm in a zone where I have met some really wonderful people in the Broadway community, and that's been exhilarating for me,' she said. 'People I admire so much I get weak-kneed, they're so good and they've been so kind to welcome me, because I'm really not of the community.…I hope to do another play soon. I want to stay [and] keep doing plays.' Actors' Equity Association president Brooke Shields was similarly excited to celebrate all the works from this season. 'It's just nice to see people feeling celebrated. I love this night,' she said. In true Broadway fashion, the carpet included a few surprise moments, most notably a visit from 'The Phantom of the Opera,' who is returning to the New York City theater scene via a top secret immersive experience opening later this summer. Similarly, theater and film fans alike were surprised to learn last week that Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the 'Harry Potter' series, would be reprising his role in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' on Broadway. 'It's all a bit daunting,' the actor said, adding that he plans to lean on costar and now Broadway regular Daniel Radcliffe for advice. 'I thought it was an elaborate prank when they asked me to do this, and it turns out it's not. I've missed him. Last time I saw him was 16 years ago, and now I get to pick up exactly where we left off, but now Draco is an adult.' He added: 'I know it's familiar. I know how to pronounce the word Potter, but other than that, it's a completely new set of shoes I'm stepping into.' Eager to celebrate Broadway history, many attendees donned looks inspired by current shows and iconic moments in theater history. Shields, who also wore a diamond ring gifted to her by Michael Jackson, sported a bag made out of red curtains from Radio City Music Hall before it was renovated. 'Oh, Mary' creator and star Cole Escola wore a custom Wiederhoeft gown, inspired by Bernadette Peters' look from the 1999 Tony awards. Harry Lennix wore a custom brooch featuring the logo of 'Purpose,' the nominated play which he currently stars in. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert, who recently finished their Broadway run in 'Cabaret,' donned a silver Alexander McQueen suit completed with silver hair, body glitter, silver nails and metallic accessories. Of the inspiration behind the look, they said, 'I was inspired by a Tony award. Literally that was my inspo.' Lambert also said they planned to 'cram in' as many after parties as possible. While many stars, including Groff and Felton, lingered on the carpet mingling with friends, reporters and photographers, many were ushered across quickly. 'Death Becomes Her' stars Megan Hilty and Jennifer Simard hustled across the carpet within minutes of each other. Erivo was similarly rushed in to get ready for her hosting duties. Just as the red carpet was closing down, three of the most talked about stars of the night, Nicole Scherzinger of 'Sunset Blvd.,' Sarah Snook of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' and George Clooney of 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' who walked hand-in-hand with wife Amal Clooney, quickly scurried in waving hi to all the cameras. Scherzinger closed out the carpet by blowing a kiss as she ran in for a jam-packed night at Radio City Music Hall.

How Nicole Scherzinger's Hairstylist Created Her Slicked Updo Inspired by ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's' for the 2025 Tony Awards
Nicole Scherzinger had a triumphant night at the 78th annual Tony Awards on Sunday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The musical star took home the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance as Norma Desmond in the Broadway hit revival, 'Sunset Blvd.,' and she honored the monumental night with a hairdo equally as memorable. Styled by celebrity hair artist Dimitris Giannetos, Scherzinger's dark tresses were pulled firmly on top of her head in a sophisticated, slicked-back bun. Her ponytail was twisted into a crown, with absolutely no strands left behind.

He said: 'I wanted to give Nicole a very sleek, glossy updo and create a 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' Audrey Hepburn-inspired vibe.' The multistep process of her completing her look began with Giannetos flat-ironing Scherzinger's hair before using the tool to add a few messy waves to give it 'body.' He used both the Moroccanoil Treatment Original smooth frizz hair oil and the Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Extra Strong to lock in the slick back. 'To finish, I sprayed Nicole's hair with Parfums de Marly Valaya Hair Perfume — an elegant floral, musky and woody scent to complement her look. It had all eyes on her and was the perfect finishing touch to her glamorous look,' Giannetos said. Rokael Lizama, makeup artist to both Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Kim Kardashian, was behind the on-stage performer's bronzy visage. Scherzinger's face was contoured and coated in a warm bronzer to match the shimmery sunset shadow on her eyes. Pink, brown and amber melted together on top of her lids with an iridescent white on her brow bone. Meanwhile, her lips were painted in fiery red to match her strapless sequin gown. Lizama used all Revlon ColorStay products. To start, Lizama prepped the actress' face with the Dieux Skin Ethereal Cleaning Oil and the Baptism Gel Cleanser. He then went in with the hydrating Instant Angel Moisturizer and the chilled Forever Eye Mask. In her teary-eyed acceptance speech, Scherzinger thanked the Tony Awards for making 'this little Hawaiian-Ukrainian-Filipino girl's dream come true.' 'Growing up, I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong and I have come home at last. So if there is anyone who feels like they don't belong or your time hasn't come, don't give up. Just keep on giving and giving because the world needs your love and light more than ever,' she said.
