George Clooney’s new look surprises everyone
The images, released by TMZ and Page Six, show Clooney sporting his new brown hair, a notable change compared to his iconic perfectly trimmed gray look. According to sources close to the actor, the reason behind this new style is strictly professional.
Clooney is preparing for his highly anticipated Broadway debut with the theatrical adaptation of his movie “Good Night, and Good Luck,” in which he will play the legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow. In order to faithfully embody the iconic American war correspondent, the actor has chosen to darken his hair and fully immerse himself in the character’s personality.
Clooney’s image change has been gradual. In early February, during a press conference at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, the actor still sported his traditional gray hair. However, by the end of last month, he was seen on several occasions wearing fedora-style hats, which is now presumed to have been a strategy to conceal his new color until it was fully defined.

Along with his new appearance, Clooney has also revamped his style of dressing. In his recent appearances, he has been seen swapping classic blazers and elegant shoes for leather jackets and Adidas sneakers, adopting a more youthful and relaxed image. This change in appearance has generated all kinds of reactions on social media.
While some applaud his commitment to his role on Broadway, others speculate whether the actor could be going through a “midlife crisis”. For his part, Clooney has taken the criticism with humor and has assured that his wife Amal will “hate” his new hair color, while his children “will mercilessly mock him”.
