George Clooney, who stepped onto the Broadway stage for the first time this March, opened up about what his wife, Amal Clooney, thinks of his “horrible midlife crisis” dark hair for the role.
For the unversed, the 64-year-old American actor and filmmaker had to dye his hair for the role of journalist Edward R. Murrow in Good Night, And Good Luck. However, this step earned him mixed reviews, as some people liked it while others did not.
George recently appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and revealed his wife’s take on his look.
Amal said her husband’s dark hair is “funny” but he quipped that “She'll be glad when it's gone.”
The Ocean's Eleven star went on to add, “The last show is Sunday, we do a matinee, and by the time we go to the Tony's that night, it'll be gone.”
“I may have a shaved head, I may look like Yul Brynner,' though Meyers said that might be good luck, since Brynner won Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 1952 for The King And I.”
'I'm wearing a hat to hide my bad hair. It's bad. It's still dark on top, but it's gray on the bottom,' George shared.
Mayers jokingly interrupted, “It looks great on stage, but off stage it looks like you're trying to get away with something.”
“It's horrible. It looks like you're going through some sort of midlife crisis. I'm 64, midlife is a little stretch,” George Clooney remarked.
