- Clooney's new hair color for Broadway role
- Return to the theater stage after 40 years
- Authentic portrayal of Edward R. Murrow
George Clooney has undergone a makeover, saying goodbye to his gray hair and now sporting brown hair. This decision was not made on a whim, but for his new role on Broadway, as reported by various media, including the 'Daily Mail'.
George Clooney: New hair color for Broadway role
George Clooney will play journalist Edward R. Murrow in the play "Good Night, and Good Luck". He had his hair dyed for the role, as paparazzi pictures show.
In February 2025, he revealed to 'The New York Times' that he was afraid of the makeover: "My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair," he joked.
Return to the theater stage after 40 years
It has been almost 40 years since George Clooney last appeared on a theater stage. Now he is returning to perform at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City. From April 3 to June 8, he will appear in a total of 99 performances. The role of Edward R. Murrow, which he plays in this play, is a significant challenge for the actor. Clooney has prepared intensively for this role in order to authentically portray Murrow, who was known for his anti-communist stance.
Authentic portrayal of Edward R. Murrow
In order to credibly embody the role of Edward R. Murrow, George Clooney not only dyed his hair, but also started smoking again. Murrow, who was known as a notorious chain smoker, died of lung cancer at the age of 57. In the interview with 'The New York Times', Clooney revealed that he was well aware of the health risks of smoking, especially as several relatives in his family had died of lung cancer. Nevertheless, he sees it as necessary in order to portray the role authentically.
