George Clooney returns to silver fox look at Tony Awards
Share this @internewscast.com

George Clooney’s return to silver fox status is nearly complete, several months after debuting a dye job that was mocked online. 

The actor, 63, attended the Tony Awards with the majority of his hair in it’s familiar shade of grey.

George, looking handsome in a slick black tuxedo, attended Broadway’s biggest night with his gorgeous wife Amal, 47, by his side.  

Amal stunned in a white beaded dress teamed with a marble clutch and a head full of loose, romantic waves. 

George changed his well-known salt and pepper hair to a dark brown shade in March for his portrayal of the legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway production Good Night And Good Luck.

Although the new hair color might not have impressed everyone, his performance definitely did – earning him a Tony nomination for Best Performance By An Actor In A Leading Role In A Play. However, the award went to Cole Escola for his role in Oh, Mary!.

George altered his distinctive salt and pepper hair to a dark brown hue for his part in the Broadway version of Good Night and Good Luck; as seen in May.

The actor looked in his element as he confidently posed on the red carpet with Amal by his side.

They even showed some PDA with Amal – who has been married to George since 2014 and shares eight-year-old twins Ella and Alexander with him – planting a kiss on him.  

It comes after George endured ridicule over his shock hairstyle.  

Fans have shared been sharing their disapproval of his new darker hair and orange fake tan, with some admitting it makes him look ’20 years older’

Others joked he’s put a ‘full blown black sharpie on his hair’ as they begged for him to wash out the hair dye.

They wrote on X: ‘Weird seeing George Clooney once had non-grey hair. I figured he popped out of the womb a silver fox!’,

‘What in the Sam Hell is that awful dye job on George Clooney? He looks pathetic’.

George himself even admitted during a recent interview on CBS Mornings he knows his hair isn’t good and said he still isn’t used to the new look himself.

Gayle King said: ‘I have to take a moment looking at you with the dark hair.’

‘I know it’s not good!’ George interjected.

Gayle added: ‘I didn’t say it wasn’t good!’

‘Oh, It’s not good! I’m not used to it, you never get used to it. Listen, I started getting grey when I was 25 so I’ve been grey most of my life so it’s not my favourite look.

‘And my wife, she thinks it’s funny,’ he said, adding their children ‘laugh’ at his hair. 

‘Honestly nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dying your hair,’ he said. 

The play is based on his 2005 film of the same name which he previously wrote, directed and starred in.

In his 2005 film, David Strathairn played the lead role, while George took a supporting role as CBS President Fred Friendly, in addition to working behind the camera.

The movie, which was shot in black-and-white, focused on Murrow’s reports on Senator Joseph McCarthy’s unfounded claims of communist infiltration in the US government.

This leads to a fiery confrontation between the two men on Murrow’s CBS broadcast ahead of the senator’s humiliation at the Army–McCarthy hearings and subsequent censure from the Senate.

The all-star cast also included Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Daniels, Patricia Clarkson, Frank Langella and Twin Peaks star Ray Wise.

George’s film was a hit at the box office, grossing $54.6 million against a $7 million budget, and it earned six Oscar nominations, though it went home empty-handed.

The Pussycat Dolls singer, 46, won the Best Leading Actress in a Musical award, for her performance of fading Hollywood star Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, based on the 1950 film noir of the same name by Billy Wilder.

‘Growing up I always felt like I didn’t belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home at last,’ she shared in her acceptance speech, before thanking her fiancé Thom Evans, adding he ‘believes in me when I forget to believe in myself.’

Darren Criss, 38, won big, earning his first Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his performance in Maybe Happy Ending, written by Will Aronson and Hue Park. 

The play — which explores themes of love, loneliness, and mortality and follows two ‘Helperbots’, robots designed to assist people, named Oliver and Claire — also won the top honor for Best Musical, with producer Jeffrey Richards accepting the award.

Meanwhile George Clooney, 64 — who was nominated for Good Night, And Good Luck — was shockingly snubbed, when he lost the Best Actor in a Play award to Cole Escola, 38. The star, who uses they/them pronouns, won for their performance in Oh, Mary! which they wrote and star in.

She then thanked composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, sharing: ‘It has been such an honor to be able to create with you the past 15 years.’

Later she gave a shout out to producer Jamie Lloyd: ‘Jamie, you saw in me what no one else did. You have given us all new ways to dream and you have changed my life forever.’

She wrapped up her inspiring speech, sharing, ‘If there’s anyone out there who feels like they don’t belong, or your time hasn’t come, don’t give up.’

‘Just keep on giving and giving, because the world needs your love and your light now more than ever.’

‘This is a testament that love always wins. Thank you so much. God Bess you.’
