Tonys 2025: Why George Clooney Cut Out Hair For Daring Transformation

“We do a matinee, and then by the time we go to the Tonys that night, it'll be gone,” he explained on Late Night with Seth Meyers June 3. “I may have a shaved head.”

Meanwhile, Amal—with whom he shares 7-year-old twins Alexander and Ella—has made it clear that she isn’t a fan of the look either.

"It's not my favorite look, and my wife, she thinks it's funny," George quipped on CBS Mornings in April. “Honestly, nothing makes you look older than being 63 and dyeing your hair."

But for the 64-year-old, who made his return to the stage after nearly 40 years, getting to bring the Tony-nominated play to life was worth every bottle of hair dye. In fact, he and Grant Heslov—with whom he adapted their 2005 film for Broadway—decided to record the production live on CNN June 7.

“I’ve had this really wonderful experience being on Broadway,” George told The New York Times in May. “I think it’s important for a lot of people to be able to see what it’s like to come to Broadway, see a Broadway play, in cities all across the country and all across the world, because it’s pretty exciting.”
