Dark hair isn’t for George Clooney.
Previously one of Hollywood’s most popular silver foxes, the actor, 63, publicly mocked the new brown shade, which he dyed for his role in the Broadway show “Good Night, and Good Luck,” in which he stars as journalist Edward R. Murrow.
On Thursday, Clooney was honored with a caricature of himself displayed at celebrity-loved restaurant Sardi’s in Manhattan, with the photo immortalizing his most famous look.
As the portrait was unveiled, the filmmaker immediately commented on his gray hair in the photo.
“I like the hair color. It’s much better than my hair color right now,” Clooney quipped as he held the caricature.
“That’s better. It’s gray, mostly gray. There we are, thank you so much,” he added.
When Clooney signed the portrait, he joked that he wrote “Brad Pitt” on it. The two are close friends, having worked on films like “Burn After Reading” and the “Ocean’s” trilogy together.
Clooney’s caricature is hanging alongside many other famous Broadway and film stars, such as Barbra Streisand, Neil Patrick Harris and Sutton Foster.
In March, Clooney showed off the fresh brown hue during a preview of “Good Night, and Good Luck.”
The month prior, he confessed to the New York Times that his wife, Amal Clooney, wasn’t going to like his dark hair.
“My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair,” Clooney explained.
“My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop,” he added, referring to the couple’s twin girls, Alexander and Ella, 7.
Safe to say that we predict Clooney will let his roots grow back when the show closes this June.
