George Clooney Mocks Dark Hair Dye Job at Sardi’s Caricature Unveiling

George Clooney, previously admired for his distinguished silver fox look, jokingly criticized his recently dyed brown hair. The actor, age 63, adopted the new shade for his role as journalist Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway production of “Good Night, and Good Luck.” During the unveiling of his Sardi’s caricature, Clooney playfully addressed the contrast with his renowned gray hair, offering some humorous commentary on his changed hair color.

Clooney Honored with Sardi’s Caricature

On Thursday, the celebrated actor and filmmaker, George Clooney, received an honor with the display of his caricature at the iconic Sardi’s restaurant in Manhattan, a popular spot frequented by celebrities. The artwork immortalizes Clooney’s signature, most iconic, silver-haired appearance.

A Playful Jab at His New Look

As the portrait was revealed, Clooney took the opportunity to comment lightheartedly on the difference between the caricature’s gray hair and his current darker shade.

  • “I like the hair color [in the caricature]. It’s much better than my hair color right now,” Clooney quipped, as he gestured towards the artwork.
  • “That’s better. It’s gray, mostly gray. There we are, thank you so much,” he continued, appreciating the portrayal of his natural hair.

Clooney further amused the audience by joking that he signed the portrait “Brad Pitt,” referencing his close friendship with the actor and their collaborations on films such as “Burn After Reading” and the “Ocean’s” series.

Broadway Role Demands a Change

Clooney’s caricature joins those of other luminaries from Broadway and film, including Barbra Streisand, Neil Patrick Harris, and Sutton Foster, solidifying his place among entertainment industry icons.

Wife’s Expected Reaction to Hair Color

Earlier this year, in March, Clooney debuted his darker hair color during a preview of “Good Night, and Good Luck.” Prior to the reveal, he confessed to the New York Times that his wife, Amal Clooney, was unlikely to favor the change.

Anticipating Criticism

Clooney humorously predicted his family’s reactions to his dyed hair:

  • “My wife is going to hate it because nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair,” Clooney stated.
  • “My kids are going to just laugh at me nonstop,” he added, referring to his and Amal’s seven-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.

It is widely anticipated that Clooney will revert to his natural gray hair once his commitment to the Broadway show concludes in June.
