George Clooney’s been busy as of late, as he’s been headlining the stage manufacturing of Good Night time, and Good Luck. Primarily based on the 2005 movie Clooney directed and co-wrote, the stage manufacturing sees him taking part in the function of revered newsman Edward R. Murrow. To play the half, the main man needed to ditch his signature, silver locks and dye his hair black. Total, folks appear to have taken to Clooney’s brunette look. But, because the actor’s stint on the play ends, he’s having hassle along with his locks and could also be compelled to channel a movie legend.
The 64-year-old star has lengthy been recognized for his humorousness and self-deprecating nature. He had loads of jokes when he stopped by Late Night time with Seth Meyers (as seen on YouTube) to debate the aforementioned stage play. Throughout his look on the speak present, the two-time Oscar winner was carrying a cap to cover his erratically coloured hair. He went on to elucidate the method of getting it dyed, a lot to the delight of Meyers and people within the viewers:
It’s nonetheless darkish on high, however it’s grey on the underside… The final time I [dyed] it was about six months in the past, so that you get that nice-looking develop out now of grey.
Seth Meyers and George Clooney went on to joke that the latter’s “unhealthy hair” now offers him the looks of somebody who’s making an attempt to paint their locks as a part of a mid-life disaster. Clooney went on to say that by the point he attends the Tony Awards, the place he’ll be vying for Greatest Efficiency by a Main Actor in a Play, the hairdo might be gone. What was notably humorous, although, is that Clooney mused that he may present as much as the present with a shaved head much like that of the late Yul Brynner.
Some could chuckle over the notion of the Michael Clayton star going bald for some time, however a variety of actors have actually pulled off the look over time. Yul Brynner is one such performer as, in time, his eventual lack of hair arguably grew to become synonymous along with his persona. It’s additionally onerous to think about him not having that shiny dome in movies like The King and I or Anastasia. Different main males have additionally shaved their heads and relished it. Dwayne Johnson even took offense when not being named World’s Sexiest Bald Man in 2022.
Even when George Clooney does shave off his locks so as to begin once more, I’m unsure he’d preserve that search for lengthy. The A-lister revealed in 2024 that there’s a script for Ocean’s 14, and I’d be shocked if he didn’t need to regrow his hair earlier than taking part in Danny Ocean once more. Plus, Clooney’s spouse, Amal – who he adores – might not be so eager on the change.
Nonetheless, if the From Nightfall until Daybreak star did select to go bald fully, I wouldn’t be mad at it. Plus, as Seth Meyers so astutely identified, Yul Brynner gained a Tony years in the past. So possibly that success may rub off on Clooney ought to he select to rock that fashion throughout this 12 months’s present.
