George Clooney has traded his signature salt-and-pepper look for a full brunette makeover. While fans might suspect a mid-life crisis, the change is for his Broadway debut as journalist Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, And Good Luck. Clooney revealed his new look while greeting fans in NYC after the show’s preview.
While everyone acknowledges the change is for a role, long-time fans of George Clooney aren't happy to see their favorite silver fox ditching his iconic salt-and-pepper look.
While one user wrote, 'The new hair actually makes him look older. I never expected that', another one added, 'Handsome guy either way but does look younger with the grey", "Bring salt and pepper back!'
George Clooney was fully aware of the reactions his new look would provoke. He had anticipated that his wife might not approve, as he knew dyeing his hair would make him appear older. He also joked that his kids would likely have a good laugh at his expense over the change.
