George Clooney Reveals Why He Hates His Good Night, And Good Luck Hairstyle

George Clooney was ready to roast himself over his hair while stopping by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday.
Admitting the deep brunette dye job he got for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck was not his best look, the Tony-nominated actor told Meyers, 'It's bad. It's still dark on top, but it's gray at the bottom. So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray.'
Clooney, who said he was purposefully hiding under a baseball cap, said he was relieved he'll finally be able to get rid of the tint when he wraps his critically acclaimed Broadway show on Sunday afternoon, right before the Tony Awards.
Though Meyers told the ER star that his locks look 'great onstage,' he joked that 'offstage, it looks like you are trying to get away with something.'
'It really looks bad. It looks like you're going through some horrible midlife crisis,' Clooney agreed, then smirking as he added, 'I'm 64 ... midlife is a little stretch.'
Trying to find an upside, the leading man said wife Amal Clooney does find his temporary hairstyle 'funny' but will 'be glad when it's gone.'
While talking to the New York Times in March, the normally salt-and-pepper-coiffed star laughed about how 'nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair.'
But Clooney thought the transformation was necessary to play real-life journalist Edward R. Murrow, whose Cold War-era clash with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy is the centerpiece of Good Night, and Good Luck.
